pregnancy brain

i've heard it called many things. mommy brain, pregnancy brain, etc etc. it's when you have a case of extreme forgetfullness or absentmindedness, and can blame it pregnancy/baby. i've had this mildly before, but honestly i always sort of thought it was something someone conjured up in order to blame their mistakes on their unborn child. until today.

when i found a baking sheet full of potatoes from LAST WEEK'S DINNER in the oven.

i turned on the oven tonight to preheat it for dinner. strangely the house began to smell like potatoes. i thought this was odd, but it wasn't until i went to put the chicken in the oven that i discovered why. there they were.....potatoes from last week. that i had washed. cut up. seasoned. put in the oven. and cooked. and then left there, only to be discovered today.

sorry if that's gross. or if that gives away how infrequently we use our oven. i just can't stop cracking up about it. it was the strangest thing to open your oven getting ready to cook something and finding something ALREADY COOKED in there.

now wait a minute.....what did i do with that chicken??
