You know you're tired when...

[onetiredmummy]

Daddy Pig's voice starts sounding sexy lol

You empty the kitchen bin into the recycling bin. You then have to sort and wash again all recyclables.

You put the milk in the bathroom cabinet.

You wonder why the front door is not unlocking and then realise you are 'bipping' the car key at it.

You have already got the shakes from too much coffee, but seriously contemplate another.

People start very basic conversations with you and you stare at them blankly because you can't actually follow what they are saying.

You snuggle down to read dc a bedtime story ... And wake up 3 hours later, groggy, sore back and with drool down your chin ( and Slinky Malinki in your left eye)

You go out for the morning and leave the front door open. This was me today - thankfully we weren't robbed. Phew!

You get really good at the special "mummy sleep" i.e. sleeping on the sofa while the dc play in the same room (ensuring you empty the room of all things even vaguely dangerous/climbable/breakable/poisonous/valuable first) but somehow you aren't really asleep - you can still hear everything that is going on and react appropriately when handed plastic sheep or half chewed food or asked to kiss random body parts better.

All you need to work on is your ducking reflex to avoid being woken suddenly by flying toys to the head. And it's never a flying teddy bear either!

You call one child by the other child's name and wonder why they are looking cross (I'm always doing this ).

Or worse, you go through the name stream where you trot out every name you can think of before you get to the one you wanted so it's JackFlossyJessKenny GEORGE! That's it! George, please take your head out of the toilet.

You forget the name of everything so you just call everything 'thingy' instead, including nearly everyone you know.

You drop lots of stuff.

You bang your head all the time.

You go out leaving the lights and cooker on.

You can't watch a film all the way through. There are films I've watched the first 15 minutes of 6 times and never got any further. Books - I don't even get past the first page.

Oh and you say good morning to the cat only to realise it's your handbag.

Your eye twitches so much that people in the shop think you are giving them the wink

A couple recent ones of mine, inputted my pin number into the microwave,for making a jacket potato.
Also finding sanitary towels in the fridge one morning I had unpacked the shopping quickly and tiredly the previous night and had stored them away neatly in the veg drawer.

You HAVE to lie down and sleep for ten minutes in the middle of the day.

You find yourself thinking the most bizarre things, and spend far too much head space trying to think of the answer .. like me for nearly an hour - did jesus exist in the 1500s.. W.T.A.F!!

You trip over the pushchair wheel, fall over and laugh out loud. Then start crying

You find this entertaining!

You get to work and find your remote control in your bag; when you get home you find your mobile in the fridge.

My best was when I left the food shopping in the car park - all £60 of it. DH was not impressed.

However, the other day when I was sitting in church I thought that the little girl sitting next to me was an over-sized doll. She really gave me the creeps when she started moving (I think it might have been a micro-sleep).

You try to answer the calculator sitting on your desk when your mobile rings

You miss the exit from the dual carriageway half a mile from your house and don't even notice until you've passed the next exit as well.

You cry at anything
Sometimes speaking just seems too much effort
Day and night blur into one

I'm not tired and I still think fish for a 6mo is about a pet for a six month old - what is it actually meaning?????

cooking fish for said 6mo?

so tired you just cry.

try to pour orange juice in my cereal bowl.

lose all coordination. i just got entangled with my kitchen door handle and have a vicious looking bruise. i don't know why i couldn't get it to let me go.

I'm having cereal for tea as i can't even be bothered waiting for toast.

You stand in the middle of your own kitchen totally unable to remember where you keep the glasses. You try 3 cupboards before hitting on the right one.
