Once I forgot to cook for Shabbos! I don't know what I was thinking, I got everything else ready, set the table, cleaned the house, bathed my daughter, I even washed and set my shaitel! My husband came home Fri. afternoon, and noticed all was ready minus any food! Where oh where was my head that day?

It was on a late Shabbos, so we still had time to throw some food in the oven and make a quick side dish. I did all the shopping, so there was all the ingredients for a Shabbos meal in the house, just forgot to make it. We called my inlaws before Shabbos to let them know we would be joining them Shabbos day. It wasnt a big deal, more like - - Where the heck is my head today?? Thank G-d we didnt have any guests that week.

I've searched for glasses on my nose and the phone while chatting on it. A couple weeks ago had brand new baby girl after about 27 hours, no sleep fed her and looking her over, counting fingers etc. I caught myself checking her hair for lice. LOL

I have more than once tried to open the front door of the house with the car alarm button. (It doesn't work).

I used to always try to open my mother's door with my house key. Somehow it never worked. I only stopped after my 4-year-old started asking which key I'm going to use every time I visit my mother. Now, he stopped asking, but I hear him asking in my head whenever I go to her house.

Almost two weeks ago I bought the Ami magazine and read it on Shabbos. This past week I was shopping for Shabbos at the supermarket and saw the Ami, so I just threw it into the wagon with everything else. When I got home I saw the same cover like the one I read last week! And then I remembered that yeh....the new issue is coming out three weeks after the first.

I have also left out raw gefilte fish hanging in a bag from my stroller overnight. Ditto for frozen veggies, and meat.

I once walked out of the fish store erev yom tov having spent an arm and a leg on fresh salmon and sliced white fish, the bag was heavy and I had to adjust my other bags in my hand so I put it all down on the pavement for a second. Well when I got home, the fish bag was not there. I retraced my steps and the bag was still sitting right there in the middle of the avenue. BH.

I frequently forget to boil the eggs for shabbos.

Before I was married I missed my stop on the train a few times when I got very engrossed in a book!

This morning, I was putting on my 4-year-old's shoes while my 2-year-old was in the high chair. I figured I was saving time by putting both kids shoes and socks right next to the kitchen so I can nab them on their way out. I couldn't figure out why the shoe wasn't going on and was getting annoyed because I just bought him new shoes on Friday so they shouldn't be too small yet. Then I realized I was trying to put my 2-year-old's shoe on my 4-year-old. They're not even the same color so I don't know how I made that mistake.

I put the milk in the cupboard after pouring it in my coffee. I didn't understand why it wasn't fitting...
Luckily- my coworker was there to ask me what I was doing...

I've put chicken in the oven and forgotten to turn on the heat. It actually led to a sort of pithy statement "You have to have a little heat (passion) to get anything cooking.

Beat this! My friend couldn't find her cell phone anywhere. She kept looking and looking...no phone.

Later that evening, she was preparing supper, and she noticed on her stovetop (which was in need of a major cleaning) a weird looking stain. She looked a little closer and saw...the number 9!!! and the number 2!!! and the number 4!!! and a little spring thingamajig! Yup, you guessed it - she had left her phone absentmindedly on the stove while she was cooking and the WHOLE THING MELTED into one black bubbly mess...with numbers!!!

Sounds familiar. I'm always forgetting to plug in the crock pot, or else I remember to plug it in but forget to turn it on. This is the story of my life. The reason I haven't posted until now on this thread is because everything I do is brainless. I can't even blame it on age or stage. I've always been this way. When I was a kid I once sat at the kitchen table eating supper, and while I was eating I asked my mother, "Ma, what's for supper tonight?"

I've done this or thought I did, but that's when I found out my oven was broken. Exploding anger

Dh woke me up in the middle of the night and said "He's on my bed. Can you move him?" I looked and saw that my 4-year-old was half on my bed, half on dh's bed. My first thought was one of panic- I didn't see my 2-year-old on either bed! I crawled around my bed feeling for him and couldn't find him! I carefully felt around ods since dh said he's on his bed and I didn't feel him there either! I asked dh if he somehow got to the other side of him and dh looked at me like I was crazy. I asked "Where is ___(yds)?" Dh said "in his crib." It never occured to me that dh was talking about my 4-year-old. I also didn't believe dh when he said that yds was in the crib. I actually got up and checked.

I also have weird brain glitches like this all the time. I am glad I'm not alone.

I do stuff like this all the time! Some highlights:

I filled the soap dispenser with mouthwash- same color.

Sometimes in the morning I go to put my contacts in and realize they're already in.

Once I woke up, looked at the clock, freaked that my alarm didn't go off, and jumped out of bed to get ready for work. Then I realized it was Shabbos!

Once after cooking for Shabbos on a late Thursday night, I stayed up until the food was done. I turned the oven off but left the food inside! All night!

Just now brainless.
I bought soap from Seraph (oatmeal/lavender) and wanted to try it out. All evening I've had it in mind to take her soap for my shower. ALL EVENING. Of course when I went upstairs I left the soap downstairs. I didn't realize it till well into my shower.

But I had to try it out so I washed my face and hands again. (Is good soap!) Smile

I work as a french teacher's assistant in grade 1, today I finish at 1:15.
The English assistant asked me in front of the kids what I'm doing at 1:15 and I said I have to go home.
I was helping one of the kids with an activity where the words are mixed up and you have to put them in the right order to make a sentence. I was writing numbers above the words so the student would be able to write the sentence. I started writing letters instead of words by mistake.
The student asked me what that meant and I said oops sorry, something is wrong with my brain today...
So he asked me, is that why you have to go home early?

That was long, it was funny for me probably not so funny for anyone else.
