You know you're tired when...

[lucysmam]

The cheese goes on the pile of pots to be washed up, and the grater goes on the cheese shelf in the fridge

Oh no, cheese down the drain! Heartbreaking.
The other day I poured boiling water from the kettle into the jar of gravy granules instead of the jug, which burst the jar and covered roughly 100 square miles with gravy.

A few weeks ago I panicked when taking my DD to school as I genuinely thought I'd left my youngest at home. I was pushing her in the buggy.

vampire, I knocked over a jug of freshly made gravy once, it travels for absolute bloody miles!

Falling asleep on the toilet at work and only waking up when you tilt over sideways and bang your head in the toilet roll dispenser on the wall....

Going to put your debit card into the bin on the wall NEXT to the cashpoint 😂

More sleep deprivation but I will never forget hallucinating hundreds of spiders scuttling all over the pizza I was trying to slice for the kids tea. Thank God those days are over!

I spilled gravy once on Christmas Day and cried as there was practically none left...DH couldn’t have given less of a shit as he doesn’t like gravy so it was all for me.

Oh and yes it goes everywhere!!!

Just this evening I told the girl in the co-op "thanks, bye. Love you."

She looked at me in astonishment and I just said "sorry I'm tired" and bolted out of the door!

U apply toothpaste to your electric toothbrush without attaching the head..

(We have to take them apart to fit in the cabinet)

struggling to remove my smudged mascara when I realized I was trying to wipe off the bags under my eyes.

When you go to look in the fridge for your sunglasses, and find them in there.

Yes to the black bags under eyes. When I realised it was me, and not smudged mascara, I properly cried

I got into the shower still wearing clothes...

Friend drive off without putting her pushchair in the car!

Shouting out the name of ds and looking for him to find I’m actually carrying him. Not even a tiny baby, but an actual toddler.

And putting the coffee pod in the machine and pressing start without actually putting the cup under.

You get a phone call from your food delivery company telling you they have closed and locked your front door and posted the keys through the letterbox after finding it wide open with the keys still in the door and noone at home. Twice.

You have micro sleeps whilst reading to your children where you nod off for 2 seconds and then spring back awake.

You decide your right leg is too tired to press the brake in the car and try your left leg instead then wonder why the car has ground to a staggering halt. And can't work out how to get going again.

Or making coffee without a pod, then thinking it’s an odd white colour and drink half before realising that the actual coffee is missing from the hot water and frothy milk...

I chucked the springy plastic loo roll holder bit in the bin this morning and then stood for ages wondering why I couldn’t refill the loo roll.

I had a new roll and a cardboard tube in my hand but that wasn’t right!

You rip out all the knitting you’ve done in an evening because it wasn’t right. Except it was.

This evening I served dinner. I was confused about why the oven was on and turned it off. Five minutes into dinner mil asks "where are the potatoes?" They were in the oven

Horrified looking down at empty pushchair ... then remembered I had just dropped DD off at Playgroup

I tried to shut the wardrobe by pointing the remote at it and pressing the on/off button.

Was really confused when it was still open!

You forget who you’re ringing, in the microsecond between pressing ‘Call x’ and the other person picking up.

I’ve even had to pull my phone away from my ear while it’s ringing to see whose name is written on the screen.

Then I have to do some fancy mental footwork to come up with my reason for calling them. The original reason having completely leaked out of my brain. Which if fine if I was ringing my mum, not so fine when the optometrist’s receptionist picks up! ‘Hi Deidre...err...any plans for the weekend?

Oh, and I tried to scroll down on a real-life paper magazine last week. In public.

When you put the milk in the cup cupboard after making a brew!

I found a cup of tea in the cup cupboard once! Hubby must've been super tired 😂
