You know you're tired when...

[onetiredmummy]

Daddy Pig's voice starts sounding sexy lol

Yes to ....

arriving in a room and not knowing what I am doing there
falling asleep putting DS to bed
not being able to watch a film to the end
dropping things, walking into things, cutting myself
putting things in the wrong place
being unable to formulate a simple sentence
definately not being able to make a simple decision (I usually ask DS 1, 2 or 3 instead)
forgetting to shut front door and finding the post on the mat inside the door when I got home
forgetting to strap DS into car (luckily DS 1 and 2 now remind me)
crying at sad things on the radio or happy things come to that
noticing that you are singing along to DSs CD and there is no DS in car

I have not had a proper nights sleep for nearly 7 years so sleep deprivation is now normality! Oh look at the time I really should be going to bed!

boil kettle, forget about kettle. 30 mins later, boil kettle again, pour water into cup with tea bag, leave to brew. 30 mins later, remember about tea. boil kettle again. forget about boiled kettle. 30 mins later boil kettle again.

then think ah, fuck it, i think i'm going off tea anyway

Instead of writing 'Kind regards' at the end of an email you write 'Kind retards' and send it without noticing.

..when you accidentally read the two threads (currently under this) together. I saw:-
"To not want to have sex with ny grandfather"

Oh dear. Time for bed.

Soggy, calamity I'm a bog snoozer too!!

You come in from walking the dogs and catch yourself about to put the leads in the wheelie-bin, and then discover two full poo-bags hanging on the lead hooks in the kitchen.

You go to the toilet in the dark in the middle of the night, sit down and start to wee before realising you haven't lifted up the lid.

You can recite the shipping forecast as you've heard it twice without any sleep inbetween

You call your DP in tears outside the front door as you can't unlock it, then realise you are using the car key...

You drive home and find yourself at a house you previously lived in.

You physically drool at the idea of a full night of sleep (right now)

You used to be able to fall asleep instantly but now lie there obsessing about how many hours you have left until you are likely to wake up again.

You think, "if only I can get 2 hours sleep, I'll be ok. Just two hours without waking up, that's all I need..."

An old friend you happen to bump into asked for your home address and you've clean forgotten the number you live at. Truly. Get weird looks from friend as you rifle through handbag for evidence of address even though you've just told her you moved in 3 years ago...

You get asked 'what's your baby's name?'... & it takes prompting by a friend for you to actually remember...

saggy, I did that! Ran into the surgeon in town who'd hoiked DD3 out about a month after she was born, and she asked me what we'd called her- it took a noticeable amount of time for me to actually remember what we'd called her...

Trying to remember the kids birthdays without getting the diary out. I know the months but the actual dates...

Bad Mummy

You have been up since stupid o'clock in the morning with a 10 week old baby who has just found his hand.... and has been sucking on it so loudly for hours that you are sure the entire neighbourhood can hear him.

I either start laughing at everything or get really irrationally angry. DH loves it. :o

You start to think the people on tv all look like strange pixies, and wonder why you hadn't noticed it before.

You buy a chocolate milkshake from a Baskin Robbins and instead of grabbing it from the counter, you miss and poke it off the shelf and back into the shop with force enough to make it explode up the back wall and the person serving you.

you start laughing and end up crying. Or the reverse. Or both at the same time.

duchesse yes! It took me ages to remember what we'd called dc3

You put your knickers on over your work trousers, and when you finally notice (in the work carpark) you consider leaving it, as they're both black and no one will notice.

i was laughing and crying at this thread last night actually.

tiredness + entire family with cold and cough = plot lost

You've put dh's jacket potato in the fridge, feel proud that you've remembered to take it out again in 1.5 hours, return to the fridge, only to find that the 'cooker' isn't working and the potato is still cold.
