You know you're tired when...

You know you're tired when you try to make a cup of tea only to release you haven't boiled the kettle and have now wasted a perfectly good tea bag... *cries in silence

You put the washing in the fridge then turn the washing machine on and don't realise what you've done until you go to empty the machine at the end of the cycle. Then you hunt the house to find the missing washing only finding the error of your ways when you go to fetch milk from the fridge.

You put a jug of milk on the ground outside the backdoor, and it's only as you are trying to put the cat into the fridge that you realise you've been up for 24 hours.

When you briefly consider committing a small crime so the police will arrest you, put you in cell and you could sleep in there....

I was a sleep deprived mum of a newborn and toddler

I didn't commit any crime either!

You go to get your cup of coffee and discover....
A mug on the side with coffee grounds with sugar and nothing else.
A mug of now cold coffee under the hot water dispenser.
A mug of cold coffee on the worktop which you go to re-heat in the microwave and discover another mug of coffee in there that you reheated earlier and is now cold.

Hahaha, I've left wet washing outside in a bowl before over night. It was -3°C, yeah not good.

Yep I do this to unfortunately. R.I.P to all hot drinks that have been forgotten about and left to go cold.

You open the door to the postman in your dressing gown with your chest hanging out...🤦‍♀️

You can’t find your keys, you turn the house upside down looking for them. But no - they have quite simply vanished into thin air. And then your neighbour knocks on the door and asks if you realise that you’ve left your keys in the lock.

You look everywhere for your phone and then realise it’s in your hand!

I've done this whilst actually talking to someone on my phone in my hand 🤪

You're on a phone call with someone and need to find someone else's details. A frantic search for your phone ensues.

Whoops x-post!

Spent thirty minutes trying to find my glasses. Rang DH to ask if he knew where they were. He looked at me a bit blankly as he was sitting in the same room as me, and said (into the phone) that I was wearing them.

Your iPhone can't recognise your face.

You can’t find the whole block of cheese you took out of the fridge for lunch. You go and buy more cheese, make lunch and then find the missing cheese in the kids snack box.

You put chilli on your porridge instead of cinnamon and only realise after a few spoonfuls...

You run out to the car, load the baby and aaaaalllll the kit. Get into the passenger seat. And wonder why you aren't going anywhere. (You're the driver)

Put the house keys in the washing machine (that's in outside shed) and put a load on. Can't get back into house that now has newborn and toddler locked in together. Can't figure out why you can't get in as you got out ok. Try pushing door. Try crying.
Ring husband to ask how you usually get in the house because you can't remember. He comes home (close by luckily) because clearly you are insane. He gets spare key. Notes other key banging around in washing machine. Puts you to bed and minds kids who are none the wiser.
I had 2 non sleepers under 2.

you leave work carrying your coffee cup..was too embarrassed to go back!

When another mum asks you what your child is called and you say you don’t know..... semi acceptable for a newborn, not so great when he is nearly 3.

I remember a health visitor asking me my own name and having to really stop and think.

Relieved to know I'm not the only one who thought about this.

In the past fortnight, I have walked past our house on the way home and put porridge oats in the fridge.

Every time you open the microwave to microwave your coffee you take out a manky cup of cold coffee from inside that you put in, switched on, and forgot
