1. You let your two dogs outside. You think you let them both back in the house. You leave to go to the store, and come home to find one of them standing in the driveway waiting for you. At least it wasn’t one of my kids.
2. You start to load the dishwasher, forget what you’re doing in the middle of it and proceed to unload all the dirty dishes and put them away in cupboards.
3. You can’t remember how old you are without doing the math.
4. You’re always calling the doctor, your hairdresser or the dentist and saying something like, “Hi. I know I have an appointment scheduled sometime in the next six months, but I don’t remember when exactly. Could you remind me?”
5. You make macaroni and cheese for lunch, and forget the cheese.
6. In the shower you can’t remember if you just shampooed or if you just conditioned, so you have to start all over.
7. You put the grounds in you coffee maker, turn it on and walk away not realizing you didn’t put any water in it until the smell of burned coffee begins to waft through the air.
8. You have a hard time remembering simple things like how to spell tomorrow, tommorow, tommorrow?
9. You honestly don’t remember if you ate breakfast.
10. You can’t remember your own phone number when asked to fill it out on your kid’s registration form.
I have a bad case of mommy brain, because I have done every single one of these things. Clearly I need help. Maybe I need to get a smart phone to help manage my life. Can I take it in the shower with me? Hmmm…probably not. But maybe the smart phone could remember all the appointments and what day of the week it is. Then the few precious brain cells I have left could think about things like macaroni and cheese.
Verizon and JuiceBoxJungle sponsored me to write this post, and they asked me to talk about the ways a smart phone could make my life as a parent easier.

And I’m told this preoccupation is a permanent condition. Well, I need an excuse for being so forgetful!
Haha, very funny & very true. The other night I was so tired. My husband was working late so I was making him a plate to stick in the microwave. I grabbed the tray cover and forgot to put it on his plate. Instead I put his plate full of food in the cupboard and the plate cover in the microwave without the food.
Following you from Friday Follow. Hope you’ll follow me too http://bzzagentreviews.blogspot.com/
Have a wonderful weekend!

I have done several of these myself, and some other ones that don’t make me look too bright, either!
