I think I need more sleep...

[Wavingwhiledrowning]

DD3 (10 weeks) is breastfed with the exception of a bottle of formula at bed time so I can have a glass of wine. Last night I got an open bottle of formula from the fridge and poured it into her bottle. Only upon warming it did I realise I'd served her Whiskas cat milk.

This follows from breakfast earlier in the week where I placed a slice of toast in front of the cat and put a tea bag in a wine glass.

Trying to get into the house a few days ago... I stood at the front door pointing the car keys at it. I even did the jabby motion repeatedly as I pressed the button (because everyone knows that makes it work better). DH and DS just looked on, totally bemused.

There's a chance the sleepless nights are catching up with me...

That's great OP! I have a funny recent story too (not funny initially!).

I recently applied to work as an intern for my university's newspaper, and recently we received emails that we would haveinterviews, for which we were to sign up on a calendar Web site called Doodle.
My past experience with Doodle had to do with finding times for group meetings, so I was used to picked all the time slots that I could possibly be available. What I didn't realise for this form, though, was that we were only supposed to pick the ONE session that worked best for us (as it was individual). So I unintentionally signed up for lots of potential times I'd be available, meaning that about 20 others would see that these times were blocked. (Got it sorted out though).

Used to picking, not picked

It took me three attempts to fetch the scissors to wrap a present yesterday. I kept going downstairs, doing something else then coming back up without the scissors. And when DH just asked what I wanted for breakfast I said "spinach". I mean, spinach is a fine vegetable but it doesn't make as tasty a breakfast as porridge...
The bad news is DS2 has just turned 1 so it doesn't necessarily get better...

Yep, sounds about right. I did the pointy jab thing on my front doorstep many times, and because the car was beeping away, I got especially frustrated with the front door not opening. I also took out £200 to pay a builder, and left it on the roof of my car in my purse overnight. Multiple times I forgot to pick my other children up from school, except for the few times I got there an hour early. And the daily running of the household, basic food supplies (eg cat food, milk, bread) I would regularly forget to buy at Tesco and would have to go back in- it used to take me hours to do a shop because I just couldn't function or think straight about very simple basic things.,

Sleep cures a lot of it!

@BlueChamelion
I love spinach (when cooked and with a creamy sauce!)

Incidentally, you don't need to give that bottle of formula so you can drink wine, it is fine to drink a glass of wine during/after feeding. Look at the advice from La Leche League, it is thorough and evidence-based.

Good to know I'm not alone!

@bluechameleon - the bottle is for entirely selfish reasons on my part, not a worry about alcohol and breastfeeding. I just like to have a quiet drink with DH when all 3 DCs are asleep at the same time (before we have to leap into action to do laundry/make dinner/make packed lunches etc). DD3 faffs about a lot with the evening feed, so a bottle is quicker.

@thenewaveragebear1983 - I'm always dispatching DH to the shop to get something we forgot. We never, ever remember everything at the time. It's so frustrating!

Waving or the 'Tesco stare' where I would just wander round the supermarket with glazed eyes and try to work out how to feed 5 people and three cats for a week using only things I find in the store, like it's some kind of impossible krypton factor puzzle.

thenewaveragebear1983 it really shouldn't be so hard! I've often come home laden with bags only to find that I didn't actually buy any useful food that I could make a meal out of. There's no way I can meal plan - even if we decide to have a certain meal that day, we often can't be bothered to cook it when the time comes and we end up constructing some weird tapas style freezer buffet instead. I always remember the wine though, so that's the main thing.

I went out and left the front door wide open when DD was tiny. Came home and worried we'd had a break in, but nothing was stolen. Did the same thing again two weeks later!

I also kept leaving car doors open in the first few months with DS2. I didn't seem to be able to manage to get both children and whatever bags etc we had out of the car AND shut the doors.
