Hmmm. I went to the grocery store with only one kid (left the other one with her dad). Every few minutes I'd panic and think I'd lost a kid! Then I'd remember she was home with dad. Duh!

I can neither confirm nor deny the possibility of me doing something so foolish that my first reaction is to look around to make sure no one saw it!
Or as Brittany once sang, "Oops, I did it again."

My daughter was out ad selling this past week. Someone wanted her phone number to call her back. She says to me "Mom, I wrote my phone number on their paper,and I think I wrote the wrong number."
I just looked at her like she was crazy. She just laughed about it. She said it was her lyme brain and she was having "one of those days" I think it is compounded by being overly tired.

I have run the dryer without any clothes in it...and have almost done it again, a few times.
I was in the bathroom and I was reading the Draino bottle it said it's "Guaranteed to clear TOTAL blockages"
I sat there for probably 2 mins really TOTAL. I kept saying TO Tawl, Tot awl, and then it hit me and I'm like ohhh TOTAL!!
I do that alot when I'm reading, words I know but can't figure them out.

The other morning we were running behind and I was frantically looking for my keys and my sunglasses to take my son to school.
I looked EVERYWHERE and I yelled for my son to come help me look because we were running late. He yelled to me to just sit down and relax and think about where the last place was that I saw them.
Of course, I'm completely blank. So he comes downstairs and walks over to me and smiles and said "You really don't know where you left them???" and I said no, this is not the time to be funny we have to go, just help me.
He then pointed out that in my left hand were my keys and on top of my head were my sunlgasses.

I made a special trip to the pharmacy to pick up my meds. While there, I purchased some instant coffee & had to bartor with the clerk over the sale price.
I left my meds on the counter....now I have to travel the 25 miles to the pharmacy to pick them up.

Last night I made a shake for my daughter. I put in the fruit, the soy milk, an egg, some yogurt and turned on the blender and WHIR CRACKLE POP!
"What was that?" my husband and son yelled from the other room.
"I don't know," I replied and turned it on again. WHIR CRACKLE POP POP! "Oh, it's the spoon I left in the blender."
Sheesh! Anyone want a used blender?

I like to see if I can throw objects of trash like a balled up sheet ot paper or peach pit into waste basket across the room from my bed.
Last night, I missed and was surprised to see my reading glasses had landed near the waste basket and the peach pit was on my nightstand.
Today, I can't find the remote for my TV. Have barely left bedroom today. Pretty sure it's not in the wastebasket. Better check the bathroom.

I do the reading thing a lot. I saw the word "misled"... but I read it as "mizzled".
Worse, I said - out loud - "what the hell is mizzled?"

You guys are cracking me up!
Of course, I NEVER do dumb things---oh, wait: I often am looking everywhere for my reading glasses, only to discover that they are on top of my head!

I'm new here, so I hope it's ok that I reply. You all cracked me up, and you have no idea how badly I needed a laugh! Especially the reading part. I struggle to understand my favorite books. I used to love to read, but now it's so frustrating because I simply can't understand what I'm reading!
The next time my poor brain forgets what I'm doing or can't form a sentence, I'll try to remember "what the hell is mizzled"? It's so hard to laugh at myself when I remember who I used to be but have to live with who I am now - a lymie.
Thanks so much for showing me how to laugh at myself. God bless!

I had a dog called Rufus once and I kept him inside a small wooden shed. When it came to securing him inside that shed one night I coaxed him over using the usual doggie treat. I then threw the doggie buscuit onto the floor of the shed and proceeded to go into the shed myself and locked the door behind me... after a few minutes I thought "Duh" -"something's wrong with this picture" I think even Rufus was laughing at that one!!

Nice to know I'm in good company. Needed a good laugh. Thank you everybody for sharing! All VERY relatable stories.
My husband and I both have Lyme and cos, so lots of freaky stuff is always happening in our house. And we have post its EVERYWHERE!!! It's the only way we can remember to do things. Last time my husband got the pack of post its that were all different bright colors. Can't stand it!!!!! Too many bright colors splotched everywhere. I need to go back to my calm yellow.
Still laughing at the stories above. Thanks for the chuckle.

A few autumns ago, the year my son was born, I went to an outdoor nursery to buy cornstalks to attach to the front entry pillars of my home. I examined all of them, lifting them up and hoping to chose the fullest one.
They were on all sides of the building and required two hands to examine. Putting down everything I had carried with me to search for the best, it wasn't until the stalks were loaded and the baby wasn't, that I realized I had left him laying in his carrier on a stony dirt pathway on the other side of the building.
When I remembered him (I first had to remember him), I then had to remember where he was. Posts: 2214 | From West Chester, PA | Registered: Aug 2003

I remember someone on lymenet a couple of years ago tell that they wore a toboggan on their head for their headaches.
It wasn't meant to be funny, since I guess that's what they call a certain kind of tight fitting cap in the south.
But in the north where I live it has a totally different connotation and when I read it, I laughted so loud for so long imagining this person with a sled on their head.
Still laugh when I think of it!!!

I was at a clothing store and saw the most perfect dress.
It was a beautiful wine color! I had been looking for years for a dress that color.
I tried it on and it was a great fit, so I bought it.
When I took it home, and showed my husband, I was so disappointed!
The dress was NOT a purple/wine color! IT was ROYAL BLUE!!!!
This happened before I was diagnosed, and all sorts of weird things were happening!
But THAT topped it all!
I thought " How in the world did I manage to see it as purple!!!,, when it was really actually blue?"

I went to parent teacher conference thurs nite. This is a very small school..the kind where all grades are in one big building and each grade has one classroom. I went to the 1st grade class and was having a nice conversation with the teacher about general stuff. I finally asked her "so hows *** doing so far this year"? She looked at me like i was nuts and thats when it hit me...and i headed down to the FOURTH grade class. Posts: 624 | From Oklahoma | Registered: Jun 2010

I've enjoyed all of these, but Echorox, yours made me laugh out loud.
I could relate to so many! Early on, I rented the same movie we had just seen two nights earlier...and even after I started it, I still didn't remember it at all.
Last weekend, I had two things I needed to do: mail my friend's birthday card and pick up a prescription at the pharmacy.
I went to the post office first, and when I got to the drug store, I was stunned to find my friend's card sitting on the seat, and the $20 missing.
Sweet postal tip!

My hubby is constantly laughing at me because I'll ask him a question and then a minute later have to ask him again because I forgot his answer, lol.
Yes, yes, yes..He gets very frustrated with me, and sometimes I have to write down everything.
I have had him come home, greet him, then five minutes later say; oh your home.. how was your day, he looks at me and says; that's nice but I have been home for an hour lol.. I also have to ask a LOT>>> What did I just say? It does feel good to laugh, so thanks so much for all the funnies and for sharing Posts: 41 | From Springdale Arkansas | Registered: Aug 2010

This makes me feel so much better! I was an English major in college and love reading, but lately have had to read and reread sentences because they just don't make sense. It's not until the third time that I realize I inserted a completely different word.
Or I do what Littlebit does where I pronounce a word I know over and over until it makes sense. Last night's word was "academicians" - sat there trying to sound it out because although I know what the word meant, I had forgotten how to say it.
Has anyone else developed a slight stutter because of this??

I went to get blood work done as well as a urine and I went into the washroom with the little urine cup, sat on the toilet and went pee and totally forgot about having to pee in the cup.
Needless to say , I was there for a while until I could pee again.

I intended to hang up our cordless phone in the phone dock.
When it wasn't fitting in the dock, I suddenly realized I was trying to hang up our tv remote control, not the phone.

I use post-it's all the time to remember to take my meds. I also have alarms set on my phone to remind myself. And yet, do you think I remember to take them? Nope!
Once I was talking on the phone with my best friend while getting ready for work. As I was walking out the door, I searched for my keys. 5 minutes later realizing they were in my hand, I started searching for my phone. As I'm talking out loud, she replies, "I believe you have your phone." I asked where and realized I was talking on it. Oops?
