1. My mental checklist when leaving the house actually has 'pants' on it. Pants? Check.



2. I didn't notice I had two different shoes on until the end of the day when one of my kids pointed it out to me.



3. I walk into the kitchen, open all the cabinets, and have no idea why I'm there.



4. I write myself a note so when I get to the car, I remember where I am heading.



5. Today, I was sitting at my desk and thought, oh, I need to take my medicine. Turned, opened the desk drawer, stared at my purse, and went, "What did I open this for?"



6. After a long hard day and getting some me time finally, I sat down to watch TV ... tried to use my phone as the remote ... thought the battery was dead and kept hitting it.



7. Lately I'd send a TEXT MESSAGE and then hold the phone up to my ear to hear the response.



8. Spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why my Crock-Pot wouldn't turn on only to realize I never plugged it in.



9. I lose my car pretty regularly ... no, not the keys ... the actual whole big SUV. I can never remember where we parked because I was chasing a toddler or something. Once I spent close to an hour wandering the wrong parking garage.



10. Panicked in a parking lot as I stared at the empty back seat of my car. Somebody stole my son's carseat!! Who does that!??? Oh wait ... that wasn't my car.



Do YOU suffer from Mommy Brain too?





LOL, all the time! I can NEVER find matching socks :/

Yes i have mommy brain i had the same sock problem too. But i found the solution in my teenaged sisters. they buy all these funky designed and different colored socks and never pairs them. so if a sock is eaten by the dryer( but i blame the washing machine) or my daughter steels a sock( but its always the left shoe), i just pick 2 socks and whatever they are just go with it. or you can take the advice of the men in my life and just get all the same brand in all the same color and then it wont matter. but the colored once are great during the day when someone askes if you are aware of having 2 different socks on? lol you just look at them with a huge smile and say yea, the left one has *insert pattern of sock here* on it but my right one has *insert pattern of opposite sock here*. it always makes me laugh to see peoples reaction. but my favorite is the day socks. each set of socks has a different day of a week on it and i never were the right day. its just kinda fun, and i makes me feel like i have some kind of controlled kaos in my life.

I was going NUTS looking for my cell phone, I tore through everything! I finally said to my friend, "Hey, I have to call you back, I can't find my phone!"



My son had been using my car for a few months, his needed expensive repairs. I told him "bye, love ya" as he headed out the door to work. 'Bout an hour later, I decided to go get some groceries........about crapped when I saw my car was missing! So glad my brain kicked in before called my husband.



Speaking of cars, I locked my keys in my car so many times this past year the cops got together and bought me my own 'slim jim'. I then locked it in my car with my keys.



I panicked a week ago, while on vacation in San Diego, cause we were at the mall and I could not find my daughter! I was headed to call security and have them lock the place down. My kids had stayed with my parents back in OKLAHOMA! I so needed that vacation......

I've actually woken my husband up in the morning demanding he tell me where he put my car keys, only to find them in my purse....I certainly don't EVER tell him they were there!



About two weeks ago I went to check on the dinner in the oven because I didn't think I set the timer, turns out I never actually put it in it was sitting on top of the oven still.



About two months ago I had to replace my ATM card twice within a month because I kept putting it somewhere so I wouldnt lose it only to never be able to remember where that place is!



The other day at work I walked out onto the sales floor I looked down and I was wearing sneakers not black shoes per dresscode.

I went to the grocery store for the third time in three days to get eggs. Then I got home and the eggs that were in the refrigerator that I thought were bad are still good.

1.) I have lost my car in a parking lot before, then I found it but the keys didn't fit. I was about to call my dad with the spare car keys only to realize it wasn't my car (not even the same color).



2.) Went to the grocery store to buy wipes, left with everything but the wipes and had to make a second trip.



3.) I got a big pan out to make lunch, waited 10 minutes for the water in it to boil, then forgot what I was making.



4.) Found myself watching cartoons, even though my daughter was sleeping.
