I went to the store today and then to the post office to mail some stuff. I was grabbing everything I needed to mail from the front passenger seat, when I thought to check the ignition to make sure I didn't leave my keys there. They weren't there, so I proceeded to lock everything up and head into the post office.
I came back out 5 minutes later and realized that my keys weren't in my purse. Where else could they be, but in my suv, right?!? I walked over to a little cafe and asked to call my husband to come and get me.
He picked me up and we went home to get my spare keys. When we got back to the suv, I opened it up and couldn't find the keys anywhere. I had just assumed that because I thought to check the ignition in the first place, that I must have locked my keys in the car.
Nope. They were inside the post office all along. I didn't even realize that I'd had them in my hands while I was in there.
Duh.

I've done that! Only I wasn't pregnant. I even had the locksmith come open the door and paid him forty bucks before I realized my keys were in my coat pocket! (I was at the post office when it happened too...)
Oh boy. You can kiss your normal days goodbye. Once you have kids, your brain just gets worse and worse...despite what all the studies say about mom's brains getting better able to handle things after having kids. All lies.
Welcome, my friend.
I guess I should have finished my degree up before having children...this is bound to bring my GPA down! ;)
Maybe i should have waited to attend school until AFTER I had kids...then i'd have an excuse for my sub-par GPA!!!!
Good one!!!
Yeah, I could say the same thing for my undergrad. Blame it on being young and wanting to have fun. The good thing is that you don't have to have a high GPA to be a mom (thankfully).
Oh, that's not so bad! You wanna hear a "real" pregnancy brain fart? Ben's cousin, Chas went to the store one day with her husband. He said he'd run in real fast and to stay put. He'd been inside about 10 minutes when she remembered she needed to tell him something. She tried to open the door, but alas, it was locked. She tried again. Still locked. Then, she began to panic. She looked frantically all around the car for some paper and something to write with. She was going to make a sign to hold up against the window for all to see. This way, she figured, she'd be rescued! Lo and behold it was about that time that her husband returned to the car. Breathlessly, she told him of her "brush with death". (She thought she was going to suffocate inside the car.) He laughed hysterically as he showed her how simple it was to have unlocked the car because she was INSIDE it.
She still hasn't lived that one down. (That was 5+ years ago!) Hope that makes you feel better!

LMAO!
You are lucky that hubby is close and could come to your rescue and that you didn't have a toddler in tow!
Yay for Hubby!!! (((HUG)))
God forbid that a postal employee actually walk outside to hand you your keys. I have a prejudice against them, maybe they didn't even see them.
Michele - That story is too unbelievable to be true...sounds like something from a movie!!! I hope that your family is careful about letting her operate heavy machinery! ;)
Kate - you are so right! I told him he was my hero!
Cory - Good point. Apparently I left my keys at the postal worker's station so she knew they were there. She even told the woman who went up after me that if she saw someone outside who looked like they were missing their car keys to come in and get them. Nice! Now I can blame someone else! Love it.
I love reading other "baby brain" stories-I don't feel as insane as I did when I suffered from it.
Thanks!
