Huge Mommy Brain Moment - Anyone ever do this?
This is really really bad...I had to run a quick errand with DDs. In and out of the store in less than 10 minutes. I get them in the car and decide to run to one more store real quick, since it was about 2 miles down the road. Driving along, thinking this is great, day is going so smoothly - all these errands, blah, blah, blah.
I park in the parking lot, hit the button to open the trunk. Walk around. NO STROLLER! I left it outside on the curb at the other store!  I race back and luckily it was still outside the store. Bad Mommy Brain moment. Not so funny then, but very funny now!

Re: Huge Mommy Brain Moment - Anyone ever do this?
I just did this with her booster seat in the restaurant. Except I didn't notice for like 3 days I opened my trunk to the get the stroller out one day (the seat is always in my car) and felt like something was missing. After several minutes trying to figure it out I realized what it was.
The restaurant had it but it was so far out of my way!!!

Better the stroller than the kids.
Hasn't happened to me but I've left my diaper bag somewhere & had to go back.

Yep, not the stroller, but the diaper bag. Left on the curb right where I had my car parked. Genius move on my part because it has my wallet in it too. I did get it back 5 minutes later.

I haven't left the stroller at the store yet, but I left it at home last week. We got to the store, and I realized I didn't have it. DS is still in his infant seat though, so I dragged him inside that--not easy though, he's getting heavy!

Re: Huge Mommy Brain Moment - Anyone ever do this?
OMG YES! Once I bought my nephew an xbox game and left it in the wagon got to the next store and realized it ($70 game  ) Luckily when I went back it was still there. Another time same store left my pocket book in the wagon and realized at the same second store and again it was there when I went back. I feel the more kids I have the dumber I get But at least I haven't left any of my children in the wagon

I meant to add, at least you did not leave DC in the stroller at the store. Give yourself some credit!

Re: Huge Mommy Brain Moment - Anyone ever do this?
At least it wasn't the baby!
My most recent mommy brain moments were last week. I put a whole carton of ice cream in the refrigerator. I discovered a nice gooey mess of mint choco chip the next morning. The same morning I discovered that mess, I left the milk out after breakfast and found it when I got home from work. That's $10 worth of groceries down the drain due to mommy brain.

Re: Huge Mommy Brain Moment - Anyone ever do this?
I never left the stroller - BUT DH did it not once, not twice... but THREE TIMES! 
To be fair, the first time was with our older son - but the 2nd and 3rd time were within a month of each other with our youngest! And he didn't get them back! He didn't realize he forgot them until the next time we needed them!! Is that Daddy Brain?
I've done goofy things too though. The other day I was on my way to take my little guy to school and as I was backing out of the driveway he was like "Mommy I'm still buckling myself! You can't drive YET!!"
