Outstanding jaggy

Bumped into a new potential mum friend and met her dc for the first time.

Me: what is their name?
Her: Ellen
Me: that's an unusual name for a boy
Her: Hmm It's a girl

i wasnt tired but I was in a vicious mood, as was arguing with H at the time.

He stood and watched me wash up a mince container, 2 tins (formerly containing tomatoes) and a passatta carton. This was just after I threw a chopping board and my most expensive (and sharp) knife in the bin with huge force.

He said afterwards that I was so angry (rightfully!) that he didnt dare say anything until afterwards, when he was going to put it all right. Except I noticed and then ranted at him for not stopping me Blush :o

I have also jiggled a shopping trolley, rocked a loaf of bread to sleep while waiting to be served and put 7 scoops of formula powder in my coffee.
As mentioned upthread, it tastes bloody awful...

ScampiFriesRuleOK · 31/05/2012 21:01

hawthers that is particularly hilarious.

And yy to all those who've mistaken family members for pets. I keep calling my DH "Doggy" instead of "Daddy" when referring to him to our DS. The daftest thing is that we don't even HAVE a dog. Confused

balotelli · 31/05/2012 21:22

My morning routine includes taking my multi vit and anti histamine then giving my dog her two daily pills..........

Yes I have taken the dogs medication......

Twice!

Grin @ hawthers

"it's a girl"

bogeyface · 31/05/2012 21:31

But balo if you have a shiny coat and wet nose, I would keep taking them :o

Elkieb · 31/05/2012 21:32

someone asked me what we'd named the baby. I said 'charlie'. His name is William! Need sleep!

balotelli · 31/05/2012 21:39

Elkieb · 31/05/2012 21:45

You walk back home, a mile, with friends from school for a play date - other mum comes too. Its one of the hottest days of the year and the journey takes over half an hour. You arrive on your doorstep and realise that you have no front door keys. They've been left on the floor of the school bike shed (when unlocking DS's bike).

All the guests live over a mile away. So in desperation you climb in through the front small top windows - to let them into the house. The children look shocked and say they are scared you're going to fall. Once in you realise that you've double locked the front door so can't actually let the guests in.

Fortunately you've also forgotten to shut the bathroom window at the back, so you climb out of that, again v small top window, bruising your ribs on the way, and open the gate in the garden, letting the guests in - just to the back garden.

You then run the whole mile back to school, pushing the buggy with 1 yr old in it - whilst leaving the guests and DS in the garden to 'play'.

Get the keys - run the mile back with buggy and baby- let yourself back into the house and then let the guests in too.

DH says when he gets home that it wasn't a good example to set, really, was it. Not happy about the windows being left open either.

You, after a couple of small sherrys on your birthday, get very pissed off with a taxi driver for taking you to the wrong place, and ring the taxi office to prove you are right.....and then have to pay another few quid (plus tip) to get the taxi driver to take you home Blush

bogeyface · 01/06/2012 00:29

Yes, that did happen tonight!

Sibble · 01/06/2012 04:50

Put petrol in the diesel car, realise but drive it anyway, it stops, end up being towed to ds21 day care while car goes off to be fixed, go to work, miss meeting was in hurry to attend, leave work later and have an hour and half walk home from station via ds1s day care. Just one of many - drove into petrol pump while trying to remember which side of car tank was, sat in car while it was merrily reving up petrol pump, too tired dim to turn engine off until attendant runs out and flings door open and shouts obsenities. And the list goes on.....

You are awoken by snoring in your yoga relaxation class, and realize it is your own snoring!

you sneak to the bog at work to catch 40 winks....then spend so long asleep on the loo that the circulation to your legs is cut off by the loo seat and you collapse in the cubicle when you finally wake up, realise you've been there for WAY too long and panic and try to stand up in a rush and your legs no longer work.

SarryB · 01/06/2012 11:18

You nearly sprinkle baby milk formula in your tea, instead of sugar...

GiantUnderCrackers · 01/06/2012 11:53

leave drivers side car door wide open in a public car park only for the police to come and find you in a cafe. They kindly made out that there were thieves in the area. Actually I think I just left the door wide open because getting a baby into a buggy was all I could manage.

instantfamily · 01/06/2012 12:27

when you fall asleep at the dentist.

TeaOneSugar · 01/06/2012 13:16

I nodded off giving blood - caused some panic Blush

whatsonyourplate · 01/06/2012 13:34

when you shut your own finger in the front door on the way out...
when you spend some time putting a week and a half's worth of recycling into the brown wheely bin, and dp (equally tired) standing watching says "I thought the brown bin was for garden waste" just as you tip the last bit in..

did both this morning Blush
