Pregnancy: Week 24
Yay – yet more placenta brain adventures!
You know pregnancy has fried your brain when…
…you think the gas pump you're trying to use is broken, but actually you've simply failed to indicate which KIND of gas you want to put in the tank, even though you've done this a million times, plus the pump is there giving you very explicit instructions.
(But, hey, at least you figured it out on the THIRD attempt and at least you minimized the humiliation factor by managing to NOT involve any gas station attendants.)
(And of course your Scott was witness – via telephone – to all of this.)
(And just what ARE you going to do when you no longer have a placenta as your excuse for all this airheadness???)
——————————–
So I can totally tell the third trimester approaches.
I was on my way home from an in-office staff meeting and stopped by McD's on my way home. I very nearly SUPERSIZED my extra value meal today!
And then I wished I would have after I ate every crumb of the regular size PLUS apple pie and was still hungry.

lol. I love reading about your adventures in a placenta-brained world. Not just because they are funny, but because I know I am not alone. :\
For instance.. I have caught myself pulling up to a redlight, looking both ways, and continuing on my marry way. Thank God, I was alone at this redlight, and wasnt spotted by a cop. >.<
Usually, I take my shower around 1pm, and leave the house at 2pm to be at work by or before 2:30 whenever Im scheduled to be there. Yesterday, I decided to take my shower about 15 minutes before 1oclock. Mistake. I got all wrapped up in the time, got out of the shower and started rushing thinking I had to leave at 1oclock instead of 2! I got to work at about 1:45, which I would have been there alot sooner, but there was terrible traffic/road construction. Ofcourse my boss wouldnt let me clock in early.. so I sat there for a little under an hour. For nothing. GRR.
So, dont feel alone dear.. Im losing my mind too. And what confidence I had that I could be independant. lol.
