You know you're tired when...

[onetiredmummy]

Daddy Pig's voice starts sounding sexy lol

You walk into a closed door

You find yourself in Morrisons robo-buying one of those dishwasher dispensers that's shaped like a round of ammunition because 'it looks really amazing'.

You put the spoon in the bin and the yoghurt pot in the dishwasher.

you try to put the dirty washing into the fridge, or the milk into the washing machine....

You tell your child that it's bedtime in a couple of weeks, instead of minutes....

You want to go to bed at the same time, or before...your child.

You go to the office in different shoes.

you get a call from a kind person saying they have found your handbag and you haven't realized that you have lost it.

You answer the door to the postman with one boob hanging out of your top from when you were breastfeeding over an hour ago, and only realise 20 minutes later.

You realise that you have left your bag of lunchtime rubbish in an office you were visiting.

You drop dd off at kindergarten, give her a kiss and say "love you, have a good sleep, I'll see you in the morning" and of corse 3 out of 4 teachers just happen to be in hearing distance

You go out covered in baby sick, and you don't care

You leave your front door unlocked with the keys in it. Hopefully your honest (and not tired) neighbour will find said keys and deliver them back to you when you return from work and start frantically hunting through your handbag for said house keys.

You forget those...umm...things we talk with

natashaBee I did the same

You make a cup of tea, get the milk out of the fridge, take the tea bag out, put the milk back in the fridge and sit down before you realise you didn't actually put any milk in the tea.

From time to time your mind goes totally and utterly blank, not even tumbleweed in the darkest recesses, we're talking black hole of emptiness, only lasts a few seconds but enough to stop you completely in your tracks. Guess it's an age thing too :(

I'm too tired and/or dim to work out how to use an emoticon, never used one here before. For now will stick to punctuation to demonstrate my mood instead :)

Gosh the emoticons came out automatically, how clever!

I also did the same with the fish for 6mo thread.....:o

I used to work in a factory and at one point I was working there from 5.45am - 2pm, then going straight to my second job at a stables and working there from 2.30 - 6pm.

Which would have been OK if I'd got some decent early nights, but that rarely happened.

I regularly fell asleep on my feet at the factory. One of the jobs I had to do was wait for things to come off the end of a conveyor belt. If the person feeding them in the opposite end was a bit slow, I'd find myself nodding off and then jerking awake in between catching the items.

I once fell so deeply asleep - again on my feet - that I dreamed I'd dropped something, and woke myself up when I bent down to pick it up

You sneak to the bog at work to catch 40 winks

You find yourself in the kitchen, dawn barely broken, forking cat food into your freshly-made mug of tea, then standing in horrified fascination at the rancid brown chunks bobbing in your PG Tips...

Oh God yes SoggyBunny - I was ALWAYS sloping off for a quick nap in the loo!!!

I almost slept through a fire drill once - they had to come in and get me
