It was hot, so asked if they wanted to go to my sister's pool.

I remembered it was my sister's birthday,and I didn't have any money, so decided to pick flowers from my garden, and found a card that I made suitable. We also brought brownies.

We got to my sisters and she was outside, and I went up to her and hugged her, and handed her the flowers, card, and brownies.

I said happy birthday! She said my birthday is in Feb.. I had the right day, but wrong month. We all had a good laugh!

I also had to pick up my granddaughter at cheerleading camp yesterday, and there was road construction going on, and a police officer in the road pointing to the detour.

His face looked really mad, and I didn't know why till my granddaughter said, you knocked one of the orange barrels over!
You want me to fix the side view mirrors for you? I said they already are!

Probably should get a bumper sticker saying lyme brain driver...don't get too close!

Your story made me smile.

I am constantly scattered and always trying to figure out ways to help myself.

The other day, there was a folder upstairs that needed to be on the first floor. I had the folder in my hand, then, for some reason, I set it down on the bookcase near the stairs.

I continued going downstairs, thought about something I needed to do in the kitchen, and I was almost to the bottom of the stairs before I remembered the folder. It was just too much exertion to go all the way back upstairs, so I continued down.

And, of course, by the time I reached the bottom of the stairs, I'd forgotten completely about whatever it was I had wanted to do in the kitchen.

Just a glimpse at a typical Lymey moment in my life....

Andie

I'm the same way and I don't have Lyme!! In my case I think I'm just getting old.

How funny! Man, could I tell you stories of things I've done! Thanks for making me laugh.

I just got tied of faking it!

also I am impressed that you are carting you grandkids. Someday they will understand the sacrifice.

And acknowlaging birthdays! I'm not there beyond husband and kiddies.

Andie-
I have the SAME problem! I want an elevator.

We gave him a cake and family and friends gave cards with money, and after all that was done...his friends yelled, Let's Party!
I yelled, like it's nineteen fourtynine! Duh! My birthdate! It brought the house down! Fun moment for a very somber time!

My s.o. wears a c-pap for sleep apnea. Before he went to bed, I said don't forget to put your pap-smear on!

I just hope it doesn't get any worse than this!

I have to go, getting ready to go the Cape with friends. Thank God, I'm not driving!!
Have a great day guys, will share any lyme brain moments when I get home!

How about switching letters in phrases, like instead of saying "coffee table," you end up saying "tofee cable"?

Years back when I got my engagement ring, my girlfriends at the time told me I should make sure to take it to a jeweler,to get the setting checked.To see if it was strong enough so that I wouldn't loose the diamond.

I'm waiting in line at the jewelry store, and the man behind the counter said, what can I do for you young lady?

I told him how I was concerned about the diamond getting loose, and was afraid I'd loose it.

Oh, I see said the man. May I see the diamond? Showed him the diamond, and saw a smile on his face, then he said, this is a very pretty diamond, but you'll have to go next door because this is the oil company were people pay there bills!

Did I notice any jewelry around? Was this tiny little store plain and simple with just a desk and people behind me in line.

Another brain-less moment is when I left work at 8 months pregnant, and at that time we could only afford one car.

My girlfriend called me up, and said...why don't you come over?

I called a taxi, and got my cape on pre-martha stewart days. Got in the taxi, and told the guy the address.

When he turned around to see what the address was he said, ma'am I see you got yourself caught there.

I said oh no, my husband and I have tried for a year to get pregnant, and we want this baby so bad!

I like fat pens because they're easy for me to write with. The cashier looked down when I went to write, and we both realized I was using a tampon.

We started laughing, but my kids kept saying, mom what's so funny?

I laughed out loud at all of it; best therapy there is!
Thanks

The other day, I put the hair dryer in the refrigerator.

I have NO idea, especially since both bathrooms are on 2nd floor.

Another puzzling moment for my poor s.o.!

Andie

Well...LL your posts actually reminded me of two moments, but by the time I'd written about the hair dryer, I forgot completely what I was going to say.

Typical. My s.o. has put a ban on me at the video store. I keep bringing home movies that look great to me, only to find out --not only that I've already seen them -- BUT that we've probably just rented them in the last month.

Keeps the world very fresh and new to me!

Andie

I sit and watch TV with both of them next to me. Do I have to finish this story?????

How many times do you think I've answered the remote...getting really mad because the person on the other end doesn't answer???!!!

Also, how many times have I tried to change channels, volume, etc...with the phone figuring that the reason it's not working is it needs new batteries!!!

I LOVE TO LAUGH!!

Thanks!

The other day as I was driving, my cell phone rang. I reached inside my bag and tried to answer my breath mints.

The saddest thing is that it took me a full 30 seconds to figure out what I'd done.

Andie

I know I've done the remote/phone one and mine are different colors. (Although, I watched the receptionist in the doctor's office total up my bill on the desk phone one day and she doesn't have lyme, either.)

I'll be back when my lymebrain remembers what lymebrained things it's done.

In her Mom voice she nicely asked me to please write it down. I told her I would but that wouldn't do any good because I would forget about the note! She then suggested I tape the note to the door.

I said ok but still having the two year old at last a sleep and too tired to carry her to bed I stayed on the couch with her. Not wanting to really annoy my Mom and forget I called my husband and explained that I needed him to remind me the next day.

At the end of our short conversation he said Ok I'll get it but please remind me tommorow because I'll forget!

What a mess we are. This morning I had two errands to run in town and some people to visit. I asked my seveen year old to help me remember to go to the library and pharmacy. She replied Ok Mommy I'll try. Then, Mommy we need to write that down I can't remember both. How so you spell Library?

I think maybe we should all stay home! At least It isn't far to go to the kitchen four times for one thing. Either that or I need to buy a huge supply of sticky notes. Oh but then I would have to remember to read them!

He always looks in the freezer first when we lose the remote control. Yes it is usually there.

I looked at my husband and said how old will I be. He said thirty four and I said oh no that can't be right. I;m sure I'm only turning thirty two. I just turned thirty one last time.
He reminded me I was born in 1970 and It was a relatively easy math problem. Oh well that may serve me well some day. You are only as old as you think you are right!

Can't wait for those senior years to come. I figure I will be well practiced by then.

Niki, in the freezer? That's great!

And, Deb, I won't forget your rice story.

Good stuff!
