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

I got into my car at the car park then looked around inside the car and thought is this actually my car? Had to stop and properly think! Only for about 30 seconds but still 😆

you boil the kettle and pour it into the coffee jar and start drinking it

When you've misplaced your coffee and looked in all the usual places - no joy.

So you grab your phone and think to yourself "feck it, I'll just ring it"
Only when your fingers hover the keypad do you realise you don't know your coffee's number in your contacts 😳

Something funny happened the other day because I was so tired. I really can't remember it though... Gah!! I will come back if I ever remember...

OK ok I remembered!! Haha 🙂 feeling so chuffed with myself.

Halfway through a game of scrabble on my ipad, I realised I wasn't playing against the computer... I was actually doing a 2 person pass and play game, both players being me!! Anyway, you'll be glad to know I won 😂

I blew my nose and put the dirty tissue in the washing machine instead of the bin earlier

The baby has had four ear infections in 6 weeks and you have a really positive meeting with a potential pension fund investor and as you are leaving, shake his hand and say "I'm really looking forward to sleeping with you". "Oh no, I'm sorry I have a young baby" and sort of walk out backwards in shame.

I resigned a few weeks later. Baby really wasn't well enough for me to keep up with a full on City job. Fortunately my boss saw the funny side.

You leave your car key still in the ignition as you do a shop round Matalan completely oblivious to anyone who would fancy stealing your car in car park 😬👀

You go to the doctors for your six week post natal check wearing only trousers, winter coat and a baby in a stretchy sling ...

This thread has really made me laugh. I can’t think of any funny examples but this resonates with me so much. 😂

The other one was after dd was born. She was 8 days old. I arrived at nursery with DS, everyone clean and sparkling with hair brushed and everyone had had breakfast including me. I had a really smug moment and as I took the seat belt off realised - "oh shit, no shoes".

I have fallen asleep in the middle of eating, like some over-tired toddler in a highchair. And I've spilt tea on myself many times as I've slumped forward holding my mug. I think the worst episode recently was falling asleep in a face-to-face medical appointment while the consultant was explaining some test results- it must have looked so rude .

You find the frozen raspberries in the bread bin ....

..when you put the milk away in the cupboard and the cereal box in the fridge.

..when you pour cereal in your mug, or hot water on your cereal in the bowl.

I have done both of these things!

When you're driving to the supermarket and start panicking that you left the car keys at home, and it takes several minutes for the penny to drop...

Yes ive done this too

I worried about the cat being outside in the rain when she was actually sat on my knee.

Looking through all my pockets for my car keys only to find they are in my hand.

When you're filling in the online form for your complimentary Covid test kit/Christmas present from the council and not only do you enter your surname in your first name box and your work email instead of your personal one, you have to ask DP what your postcode and date of birth are.

When you walk into the bedroom with a book in a one hand and a glass of water in the other. You then throw the glass of water onto the bed.

You put your mobile phone in the fridge

Trying to open the front door with either my travel card or my works touch card.

You fantasise about developing appendicitis so that you can go into hospital and stay in bed for a few days, be given lovely drugs and have people bring you food.

@formerbabe

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!

I used to do this all the time when mine were babies.

When you're still on the sofa at midnight because washing, cleaning your teeth, putting pj's on and actually going to bed is just too much effort!
