Absent minded mummying

[ryedalema]

Oh dear - I've just cleaned my teeth with the kiddie tooothpaste (mmm strawberry), yesterday I nearly put the potty doings in the laundry basket, the day before that I nearly poured the kettle into the tea caddie...

Is anyone else doing daft things as we (ahem) multitask in our sleep-deprived 'where's the intravenous caffeine?' state?

And to think they let us drive cars.....

Yesterday put baby monitor in the fridge and jar of pesto on counter....

[pebbles]

I was feeding misspebbles in my arms and after looking around the room trying to find her for a good 10 seconds i turned to my husband and said "where's misspebbles" - couldn't believe i lost her in my arms :)

[ryedalema]

hmmmm...while I was writing this post this morning our eldest daughter (nearly three) got hold of my bright pink nail varnish and did her toe nails....

...the rest of her feet

her bottom

most of her right thigh

her pyjamas

Dad's vibrating massage chair.

Then I heard 'Mummmmmmyyyyyyy...I need some help!'

:-$

I still can't think about a couple of week's ago "but we just wanted to see what your make up looked like mummy......" incident on the beige carpets of our bedroom (and subsequent enormous bill) without weeping silently.

Driving scares me sometimes, I often forget why I am in the car at all......

Mr F grabbed the wrong twin and administered the dose of antibiotics intended for the other...

I've walked home from morning school run with childrens coats and book bags still in my hands soooo many times.....and then in the afternoon remembered the children but left the poor dog tied to the school railings a few times.

Quite often get dogs & childrens names mixed up when calling them too.

Oh dear.

[MrsP]

and I've just dropped the kids dinner on the floor!!!

[Fuschia]

Left our buggy in the street meaning to put it in the car, strapped the babies in then drove off and left it. That was just today!

[plimsoul]

left my mobile phone on the roof of the car after strapping kids in...never saw that one again!

Believe ...

...it or not "we" do the same things too

LadyW**F says....

"How MANY times has this washing been through the machine..? "

I say.....

" Err.. has it "

*she frowns, I grin *

The other day whilst spraying myself with Avon "soft & gentle" dry oil

I opened my eye ( to check it was working ) whilst spraying my face

Ooooh that stung

"Oh, you have got one red eye "

"Yes, I DO know.....thank you..."

W**F

Ha ha - brilliant, that beats my dettol/mouthwash mix up. But that's pre-monsterhood so it doesn't count (for me).

Not mummying as such but quite a few shopping incidents which i solely blame on hormones and tiredness due to children - scarily all in the last 2 months:

finishing sainsburys shop, paying for it, put kids in car, go to put shopping in boot and realise that i hadn't put any of the items (big weekly shop) in bags but all back in trolley separately.

finishing sainsburys shop, paying for it, put kids in car, put trolley back in trolley park, drive home, go to unpack and realise that i have left shopping in trolley - go back to sainsburys and go to security guard and luckily some kind man had handed in my trolley!!!

and the age old fav, go shopping, check out and realise wallet is at home - aghaghaghaghaghagh

oh the joys

[ryedalema]

Wow i love that one. A couple of hours ago I went to get money out of the cash point for my OH. I took the card but not the cash...thankfully there was a very honest chap behind me.

Should we be let out by ourselves??

[curlykaren]

lovely walk home from the park, only to get indoors and realise I had actually driven there....hmmm

[malleymoo]

I found myself clearing space in my fridge the other day and then realised I was trying to find enough space to put the kettle in !

[pebbles]

malleymoo - love that one - made me giggle out loud

[regine]

with so many things that happened,it gets so hard to remember it. my main problem when i started becoming a mom is that i forget things so easily! >:D

[Ruth_Baldock]

I bought some touche eclat, then bought it home to try it out (it WORKS!!!) then went to make a cup of tea. I put the teabag in my makeup bag and the concealer in the cup...
