"...because He Is So Competitional..."

Just today some coworkers and I were talking about a Mounds bar that another lady had brought in. I was saying that the only way I could remember which one had nuts or not was to sing the song. One of the ladies looked at me and said, even though it has almond in the name? Oh my goodness, it was like a light bulb came on! I'm 29 and just never thought about it that way. At least I wasn't alone, since two of my other coworkers were the same way.

my dad works for a construction management company.. one day last week my fiance calls me (he works for the same company) and he goes "so have you talked to your dad today?" n i said, no why? and he goes "well apparently he got run over by a bobcat today" and me being the airhead that i am sometimes i said "where the hell is he working today that there was a mountain lion?"... as soon as the words left my mouth i immediatley knew what A. idiot i was n started laughing.. my fiance was like uhmm really??, a bobcat, like the machine? the guy was driving it and didnt see him and knocked him into the fence... good thing my dad was ok or it would not have been so funny .. lets just say im still hearing about the "mountain lion" on the job site hahah

---Jo W. .. i have no idea what you meant but a spare tire is called a donut lol... at least around here is it..

I went to book a private dining room for my husband's business christmas party (that he has owned with one other partner for 4 years) and could not remember the name of his business and had to open the desk drawer to find it on his business checks.

Sometimes, I look for my phone in a panic, WHILE TALKING ON IT .... lol

at least yours is funny, i just can't remember my name or phone number or whre i put my car keys.

Mommy foggy brain was pretty bad when I was pregnant and it didn't get better till I was sleeping better after our son was born (seemed like months).
Once I was done breastfeeding my doctor got on me about my high cholesterol and started me on Liptor - then after 2 years on that it suddenly stopped working so they switched me to Zocor.
My memory had gotten progressively worse and my hips and joints were aching something awful- doctor passed it of as 'tired Mommy' or getting older or beginning of arthritis.
Once while driving down a road I knew well for more than 10 years I suddenly did NOT know where I was and was lost for 10 min - that really scared me - I was totally afraid I was early onset Alzheimers.
I needed lists of lists to remember anything at all - and food shopping was a nightmare because I could never remember what we needed and what I had already replaced.
I wrote out lists and kept forgetting to bring them or where they were.
So one time my cholesterol medicine refill was held up by bad weather and I ran out for 2 weeks.
After a few days of being off it - I felt freaking GOOD!
My joints stopped aching - I wasn't limping anymore!
My scores in anagram spelling games quadrupled.
My memory problems disappeared.
Then my refill arrived and I began taking the medicine again.
Within 3 days my aches were back.
I just could not stand it.
Cholesterol be darned - the 'cure' was worse than leaving it alone.
So I stopped taking the medicine and told my doctor.
Doctor INSISTED my problems were not side effects.
I said "Look - I take the medication, I have these problems. I don't take the medication, I don't have these problems. Case closed as far as I am concerned.".
It's a quality of life thing.
I'll never take a statin again.
I think a lot of people on these medications are having memory problems and not realizing it - and doctors are prescribing this stuff like candy.
I never would have had a clue had my prescription not run out.

At the beach one day, as we were packing up to leave the beach and go home, I suddenly could not find my 1.5 yr old anywhere. I looked around the beach and she was nowhere. I then turned to look at the ocean and still didn't see her and I started to panic a little bit. My husband asked me what's wrong and I said, 'Where's DD??!'.

With a straight face, he said 'on your hip'. Sure enough, there she was. I had been holding her THE WHOLE TIME. I looked at her and she looked at me as if to say, 'what are we looking for?'

Wait til you hit menopause...
:( :( :(

Bri's Mom, I hope your dad is okay!

Ya know, when I was a stay at home I was married to such A. idiot that saying that using donuts as spare tires wouldn't be out there.

I wish I could think of some of the daft things I have considered just in the past week but I am drawing a blank. Just know there have been a fair few things that made me immediately question why did I articulate that.

I'm also guilty of not being able to find my cell phone when I'm talking on it. I've actually had it tucked into my bra and while I'm talking to my best friend on speaker, I say - where the heck did I put my phone? and she says - it's in your bra strap, you idiot! Only consolation is that she has done the exact same thing while talking to me. Ahhhh, Mommy brain (mine has a side of thyroid fog thrown in for good measure).
