Had a massive brain fart today. My hubby is dropping in San Francisco and was told that they stopped receiving at 5pm today. It was borderline on whether he would get there in time to get it off so after he fueled the truck he was gonna go eat and not worry about it and just go to the drop in the morning. While he was fueling I called and got directions to the drop and clarified what the receiving hours were. I found out that they actually received until 7pm and not 5pm which would give hubby enough time to get there. Hubby called me after he fueled before he went and ate and I told him I got directions but I forgot to tell him about the new receiving hours :doh: So hubby went off to eat and used the 2 hours extra that he had to get to the drop because I didn't give him the very important information of the receiving hours :( Understandably he was pissed at me cos it has such a huge knock on effect. I feel really bad. I'm trying hard to be helpful to my hubby and ease his load while he's out on the road because I know he's out there busting his ass and these things make a difference. But it seems that I'm more of a hinderance than a help and doing this stupid stuff frustrates my hubby to no end.

How can I stop from having these stupid brain farts???

ginko.....Lena swears by it....I bought some but I always forget to take it!! B)

Yeah, well I don't exactly practice what I preach! :doh: I oughta get me some ginkgo when I get my coconut oil....

Ginko can't be taken by pregnanct or nursing women.... I say get that baby out. When your hormones start settling back to a more balanced state, your brain will return.... :nod:

Yep, that's the truth.... :thumbsup:

Yeah. :doh: Just as I was shutting down the computer last night, I remembered Sarah's pregnant! She can't take ginkgo! See? My OWN brain just farted! :doh:

Sorry Sarah, you're just gonna hafta deal.... :nod:

This is something that goes on when I'm not pregnant and been going on for a few years.

Anyone got any other ideas?

I really don't know. I'm the same way. I get so scatterbrained sometimes it amazes me....Maybe try ginko after baby...?

Sounds to me like a concentration issue. It's hard to do and it takes discipline (not :whip: but focusing).

It's gonna be hard to do while you're pregnant. It was hard for me to do when I was taking meds for bipolar disorder. But, you simply have to try and concentrate harder. Don't let yourself be distracted by every little thing that comes along. Write down the stuff that's important. Keep it by the phone (or the computer). When something important (like the hours at the dock) needs to be conveyed, e-mail it to him. Then remind him to check his e-mail.

These are all things I've had to do so Kerense won't kill me...

See I did this. I sent him a message on MSN with the info but he wasn't in the truck so he didn't get it until he got back in the truck and then it was too late :doh:

This is just so frustrating because I'm trying so hard and every time I get on a roll something stupid like this happens to set me back to square one.

Ahhhhh.. That is different, then... You didn't have a massive brainfart. you told him, then went on about your business. My husband does the same thing. If I don't inform him about something from twenty different directions and twenty different times, he acts like I was slacking and didn't tell him at all. :rollseyes:

That you did at least send him the message changes things completely....Not such a brain fart after all..

It still is a brain fart cos I should have told him originally when I was on the phone with him discussing the directions. Yes, I did try to tell him the info after we got off the phone but I should have told him that piece of info in the orginal conversation and then everything else could have been avoided.

This did really hack me off, still does cause I'm still feelin it, an will for a while yet. This upset me so much cause the same stupidity happens to often, but what really boggels my mind is that I had talked wit er 3 times on the phone already, at least the one time I discussed in length bout their receivin times an that I was goin to hit em right at the line so we talked bout that I would eat sumthin an take a nap since I couldn't drop til the mornin. So I fooled round in the truck stop ate etc an then git back to the truck to find that message. I'm tired, haven't had a lot of sleep an now I find out I'm goin to git screwed when there was no need in it! It jes boggels my brain that we had discussed it in length, should I speed through CA an "try" to git there in time? an we decided I would fuel eat an nap. Why a light bulb didn't go off that says you can now make it go for it is beyond me. An it does screw thins up, I'm late (on my time frame) gittin to the last drop an I jes got a call on a load that I can pick up as late as midnight an it'll probly be round then before I git to its pick up an then 5 hours out of CA, so it means another late night, where as I coulda dropped yeserday earlier been further down the road, drop round noon, load maybe as late as 2 er 3, then be out of this chicken poo poo state an still gone to bed early.

I jes cain't understand why sumthin wouldn't scream in er head bout it.

This is what I don't understand either. I'm not a stupid person and feel I have a decent amount of common sense. So I don't understand why these types of incidenences are happening, and it's not just prego brain because it happens when not pregnant too. I know everyone has brain farts from time to time because we are all just human. But this is happening too often for my liking.

I don't know. You are human and it was not intentional...We all forget sometimes, some of us more than others. It was an accident. Don't beat yourself up about it. A2j is still alive and it didn't cost him a kidney or something, so while it was an annoyance to him, he should remember that it was an accidental lapse of thought and not hold on to anger about it. That can only hurt the relationhsip. I know when I do things like that and my husband stews about it for ages and brings it up and pounds me about it I only feel lower about myself and really get to hating me. Hopefully you are stronger than I. The issue is in the past and is only an irritant, rather than a major block to get around....I shoud be forgiven and let go...
