I just didn't know I was *THIS* dumb.
I have been travelling out of town for training at least 3 days a week for the past 4 weeks. In October, I went to our training center in the North (about 85 miles away).
Today, I was scheduled to be at our training center in the South (around 100 miles away). My class was to begin at 10am. I like to get there at least 30 minutes before class begins so I can set up my computer, projector, have handouts ready, etc.
I dropped off the girlfriends in plenty of time. I went to work and picked up my work car. I headed out of town with my new CD blaring and I was excited for a nice drive on a fall morning.
Suddenly- I realized that I was driving NORTH. It was like I was on auto pilot or something. I had forgotten where I was going! Thankfully, I wasn't TOO far out of town. I was able to turn around and make it to my destination 15 minutes before class started.
It's just sort of weird and sad that this is what my brain has become. Just a shell of its former self. Just a hallow space in between my ears.
At least I got some Diet Dr. Pepper today.

It's called "mommy brain"...we birth these children and I think when we push them out our brains just fall out too. It's got to be the reason...
Been there, done that :)
Ditto Laura. Been there, done that. Own the t-shirt.
I have done this so many times it's ridiculous! Total auto-pilot I tell ya!
oh yikes, sounds like you have a lot on your mind.
I tack it up to mommy brain. I also do it too. When we get pregnant those little zygotes start sucking our brains out and do not stop until they are 18. Dont worry it happens to us all.
You need a vacation. How about to Va? BPGTVA?
My In Laws are here. I could use some party time.
Is DL back yet?
I have done this before...driven out of town the wrong way that is.
That mean idiot little fraternity boy the I dated in college did that and i laughed inside at him...basically for fear of my life. He drove to Norman meaning to go to Shawnee...and the sory SOB went ahead (out of our way mind you) just to prove a point and drove to Shawnee anyway. I DID remind him that Norman had a mall and he gave me that lovingly go to Hell look. What a sweetie!
M-Hope you don't hate life as much as you did. Hope you treat your current girlfriend better than you did me. Try liking life. Or was it just me you hated? Hmmmmm. ...a thought.
Oh Miss Mamalicious, while we are sad it bugged you, we are glad to see it posted because we have done this on more than one occasion!
It was mortifying, it was just like "OK, put it on autopilot" and then suddenly discovering where you are has no relation to where you are supposed to be.
It was not too funny at the time,
tp
sounds like something I would do... these kids have sucked the brain cells out of us dear!
hey at least today is friday... right?? a couple of days off to relax your brain i cant tell you how many times i have done the same thing lol hope you have a great weekend
I have done that 'autopilot' thing more times than I want to think about. It's scary, and sad, and totally to blame on the kids. For sure!
The bright side is, it seems as though every woman who has ever given birth is in the same boat.
At least, that's when my brain went on hiatus.
What a hoot your blog is. The title description cracked me up!!!!!! Thanks for the giggles.
One time I drove 200 miles in the wrong direction!!! I was pregnant w/ my daughter and driving from NC to Arkansas to visit my family w/ son. All of a sudden I start seeing palm trees and crap so I stop at a gas station to ask where I get on the interstate and he looked at me like I was crazy! He said "honey the beach is right there, the only direction you can go now is west!" I had gotten my directions screwed up and drove for FOUR hours in the wrong direction! Needless to say my 18 hour trip took me 26 hours and I drove straight though!
Now that's a bad bad mommy moment!!! And very very stupid!
Yes, what happened is that your brain slipped down into your uterus, out your vaginal canal, right behind LLM. The Dr's seem to miss that part and haven't figured out how to put it back...
Sounds like something I would do! Sometimes I wonder if my brain is just mush!!!
My Mommy brain has been in the CRAPPER lately!!!!
