I forgot to shave my other leg last night.

Called my boss by DHs name, and he most certainly heard and laughed.

The list can go on but I’ve already humiliated myself enough stating the above...

Now please share with me how mom brain has made you suffer?
Laugh

I'm a high school teacher. Arrived to class with one navy wedge shoe, and one black heeled shoe on other foot.

Gave medication to the wrong kid. This happened many times to me but luckily kid I would offer the medication too ALWAYS stopped me.

Just last night I prepped the baked ziti and put it straight into the fridge instead of the preheated oven.
Thank goodness I realized before it was too late

Put chicken cutlets into the oven, turned on the oven light and left it there. 40 minutes later, kids are ready to eat, and the cutlets are raw! I forgot to turn on the temperature Can't Believe It

Put a bottle of milk in a cabinet instead of the fridge.

I asked DS if he washed all the toothbrushes and packed them away, after he finished painting a canvas. He asked “toothbrushes ?!” And I looked at him blankly not realizing I meant paint brushes.

Put coffee in a baby bottle when preparing a coffee for myself early in the morning.

Oh boy. Thunderstorm your post reminded me of another one.
I can't believe I forgot this one:
Before a very busy 3 day yom tov (don't remember if it was sukkos or pesach) I was rushing to cook and clean and finish up the laundry before the zman. I put in one more last minute load of laundry in the washing machine and completely forgot to put it in the dryer.
We only realized the 3rd day of yom tov when the whole area started having a bad smell and we couldn't figure out what the smell was from until we found 3 day old laundry rotting in the washing machine!!!! Surprised

Really this is a “Totty thing he did”. My DH plugs in a timer into our crockpot so that it goes off on Shabbos afternoon. This week he plugged it in as usual. On Friday night I noticed that the cholent wasn’t bubbling at all and didn’t look right. I felt the crock pot and it was very mildly warm. It turns out DH never set the timer to ON. So we didn’t have any cholent for Shabbos this past week.

Fun thread!

Accidentally dialed my boss instead of my husband, and gave him my entire Costco list. I give my boss credit for patiently waiting while I listed detergent, Pam, olive oil, tissues, paper towels, freshwipes, Tylenol and men's deodorant before saying,

"Will you be picking this up from my house or should I just bring it to the office with me?" Can't Believe It

It's sooo awkward..

(your stories are hysterical BTW,)

I once put cash in my hoodie pocket and didn't see it all day. The next day when I unloaded the washing machine, twenty dollar bills all over the place... Glad it was me unloading the machine that day...

(money came out super clean tho. Was even thinking of washing all my cash after that but that's taking OCD 3 steps too far. Also, money laundering is a crime I think... ) Very Happy
