Gobble-de-gook!! Share ya funnies with us!

Porridge brain!!!..... Yes it really is a pregnancy related thing! I promise you! It effects us all in different ways and for the most part is quite amusing. My husband finds my new found lack of grammer and misuse if diction hysterical! I have even taken to inventing new words in place of the ones i have forgotten! Trying to explain to my mother-in-law how cold it had become outside, I told her, "It's Balerics out there." instead of Baltic. Maybe it was wishful thinking! Also at college where i'm studying to become a counsellor i asked my tutor wether it was possible to 'therapise' yourself! Also and this had to be one of my favorites is that, apparently, i loved Jack Johnson in 'The Shining'! I'd love to hear some funny stories from other mums to be that have kelp for brains! Come on ladies we all know what it's like to have put the washing powder in the fridge or said something that makes no sense... Don't we?

I keep forgetting what i was going to say!!! I'll be halfway through a story or something and my mind will just stop and I cannot remember for the life of me what i was talking about or what the point of my story was!! My sisters think its hilarious.....Its really quite frustrating hahaha!!

LOL, these are great!! TortillaChip I literally laughed out loud for yours, got some funny looks from the guys in the office!
My problem at the moment is whenever people ask me a question at work, I give a answer which has nothing to do with the question. For some reason my brain thinks the guys are saying something they aren't. It takes a while for it to kick in and actually realise what they're saying lol.

Yup im expecting my 5th and i talk absolute rubbish all the time. Shopping lists i write..then forget to bring them shopping. Put the kids things in a safe place and forget where my safe places are. I call my little boy Max..Olivia, and Olivia i call Alice and on it goes. My kids even know who im calling now..even when their names are wrong!
Not only that but OMG my dress sense has gone down the pan! I find being pregnant gives you the license to get away with looking 'silly' in what you wear...isnt it fantastic? even my kids dont cringe in embarrassment..they just put it down to the pregnancy lol.
so yup my brain has gone down hill with my dress sense..i love it!
