ajm200 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if our chickens stop laying eggs tomorrow in disgust after my performance over the past few days.. Saturday I put them in the run in the evening, shut the cube and went inside... luckily DH spotted the poor chickens queuing on the ladder to get into the locked cube.. Yesterday, I collected the eggs. Put each on carefully on the (curved) roof of the cube then stood there looking bemused when I stood up and the eggs weren't there anymore... the chickens had a great raw egg feast before I could clean up.. Today, I didn't take a bowl to collect the eggs again (didn't learn from yesterday's disaster). Struggling to carry 5 eggs, I slipped two into the back pocket of my jeans. Waddled into the house, threw my heavily pregnant body down onto a chair so that I could reach my shoes to take them off ..... crunch It's obviously the chickens week to suffer for my pregnancy brain.. last week was car week. I took DS to playgroup in the car... walked home. Was really confused when DH came home on his pushbike as all afternoon I'd been telling DS that Daddy had the car.. Sent DS's c"Ooops, word censored!"at away with the loan car twice while ours was in being fixed. OK, now it's your turn to own up... what daft things have you done recently?

Chickvic Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I was frantic at work today, I work in a school and we've just had new doors fitted so we all have a tag to 'wave' and get in. I keep mine with my locker key because I always have them at school, well I was convinced I'd shut my locker and then realised I couldn't find my keys bit of a panic and asking anyone if they'd seen them. Went out and searched the playground, no luck then found that I hadn't even put my handbag away and my keys were still attached and in the staff room We've only had the tags for about 2 weeks so I'd have looked a right wally if I'd lost it already I don't think I can claim pregnancy brain as my children are 11 and 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 It is your hormones....they make you a bit batty towards the end. Love the image of you sitting down on the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) I've discovered this morning that in my email-clearing frenzy on Friday, I permanently deleted a series of emails that I may now seriously regret losing I don't even have the excuse of pregnancy - just natural daftness Hopefully no one will make a fuss about this particular matter and I won't have to a) acknowledge my stupidity and b) have to justify myself all over again. They were such good emails too - clear, concise and leaving no doubt as to what my advice was (that they didn't follow). If it's any consolation, I put an egg on the Cube roof once as well and then tried to catch it when it rolled off - still, the clothes washed and the hens enjoyed their breakfast Have a nice sit down and enjoy your bump, and I'll try sneaking around quietly in the hope no one recognises my existence for a few days UPDATED - our IT people helped me get the emails back again Good job the lad that did it was on the other end of the phone or I'd have kissed him, I was so relieved!

MedusA Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Can I add my apologies for laughing at your catalogue of egg disasters? Sorry but it really is funny. Maybe you could make a sitcom out of it! I'm sure it would be better than much of the drivel that's on TV these days. Put your feet up and get 40 winks whenever you can. *hugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I did laugh at you sitting on the eggs I put Megan down the other day and she fell over onto her back and rolled about and Abbie came over to peck her as she is evil.

Clur Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 On my commute to work I fell asleep on the train and woke up at the end of the line, about 4 stops from where I should of got off. I got back on a train going in the right direction and nodded off again, just waking up to see the station I wanted disappearing into the background. I then made sure I stood up for the rest of the journey and finally got into work about an hour and a half late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
