Stupid/daft things you've done since becoming a mum

Today I nearly blinded myself! Had my mind on other things, was tired as DD was not sleeping well after having jabs, and I reached for my eye drops to refresh my poor shattered eyes. Dh wondered what on earth was going on when I stumbled out of the bathroom, dripping wet and wearing only a towel (had just had a shower) and screaming that my eye was burning. I had inadvertently put Clinique spot treatment gel into my eye instead, and spent all afternoon at A&E having my eye flushed out with saline! Now I have to suffer an almost-closed eye, bloodshot and oozing pus until the antibiotic cream that they gave me takes effect! What a plonker!

Similar to Ghostys. When dd was a few weeks old I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I felt dd at the bottom of the bed. I started to pull her up but she wasnt coming. Turned out to be dh's feet!

I did stupid/daft things before becoming a mum so guess I can't blame ds, really. But have discovered at the end of a journey that although he was buckled into his car seat, the car seat wasn't actually buckled into the car . Or that I hadn't done up the straps on his buggy...
Picking him up from nursery tonight, was getting really hacked off with the state of the buggy shed, my buggy trapped at the bottom of a huge pile of ruddy pushchairs all tangled together. Finally managed to extricate it, with the help of another mum, and then spent ages trying to undo the clip that keeps it folded together, getting crosser and crosser. Until other mum, still in the shed, said 'Hang on, isn't that your buggy in the corner, with the teddy sticking out of the pocket'...

Ive once or twice rang someone, then when they've answered Ive said 'hello, can I help you?'.

And have daft dreams now too. I dreamt dh had a nightmare and apparently woke him up by patting him on the head and saying 'Don't worry, it's just a dream'.
