You know you're tired when...

[onetiredmummy]

Daddy Pig's voice starts sounding sexy lol

You spend ages trying to dial a number using TV remote. I have also tried to change channels using the telephone ( cordless).

You momentarily forget the names of your children when put on the spot, and end up blurting out "Oi - erm - blonde one - watch that drink!"

You do the school drop off on way to work, and have a long involved convo with teacher about how ds1 has lost his homework diary - teacher looks perplexed - and you realise you are actually meant to be referring to ds2... ds1 goes to an entirely different school..

teacher falls about laughing when you realise and tells me not to worry - his MIL used to call him by the dogs name sometimes..

You stare blankly at people when they talk to you and have no idea what they've just said.

You ask DH the same question (did you have a nice day?) again, and again, and again, and again, all in the space of 10 minutes and you have no idea what the answer was.

Dp says "make a cuppa while I get dd dressed" you go downstairs....
Ten minutes later dp comes down too, to find you standing still in the middle of the kitchen trying to remember why you're there...

You find the missing TV remote in the freezer

you put eye pencil on BOTH your eyes - then realise when trying to smudge with a brush - that you had picked up up a felt tip pen & it was going nowhere

you do the school run AND shopping before realising the top you are wearing - it inside out

you put washing up liquid in the dishwasher soap dispenser drawer & don't realise until your kitchen flour looks like something from a dodgy spanish night club & it knee deep in suds - DD had a great time though :)

You read back what you have written earlier & spot the most ridiculous grammar & spelling mistakes & even subbing wrong word - despite having checked several times before sending

I could go on, but I'm too tired to remember more

Point made on the grammar & word subbing

I think Daddy Pig's voice sounds sexy even when I'm not tired! I've told DH it would be great if he could be more like Daddy Pig...

When you get on the M25 and spend about 45 minutes driving in rush hour traffic towards the M40 only to realise that you've entered the motorway on auto pilot and should be going in the opposite direction towards Kent.....

You forget both DP and DS1 names at the same time. xx

You fall asleep when singing during a choir rehearsal. Every time.

Whilst playing mummies and babies, your dd says "lie down on my bed and pretend to sleep mummy", you instantly fall asleep and are shaken awake by worried 4yo

while yawning decide to take your jumper off in a doorway, elbows are still bruised.

rockinhippy - I saw a woman with her top inside out the other day, wasn't sure whether to mention it or not

You decide to stick your head out of the car window to check that you're in the lines while parking, only to forget that you've already closed said window. Ow. But it was very amusing for DH and the woman parked opposite us.

You have several conversations with DH that he doesn't remember...because they were mostly in your head.

You forget what you are saying halfway through the conversation.

You leave your keys on the car all night and only find out when the postie brings them to you.

You get back to the car at the supermarket and fine the rear doors wide open where you removed the DTs about 45 minutes previously.

In a similar vein, you get back home from visiting friends and find the front door wide open, as it has been for several hours.

Amazingly, on both occasions everything was as it should be inside.

Poorly and sleeping during day and doorbell went, Open door and have a mean face on, for it to be my shocked and scared neighbour apologising but i had left my keys in the door and she didnt want to leave them or take them and lock me out! I felt terrible... was very very poorly though and said sorry for days each time i saw her!

Constantly have to ask dp if i had asked him to do something or just thought about asking in my head - or tell him off for not doing something when i hadnt asked him to.

Cry. a lot!

Stop talking mid convo and not be able to repeat my last sentence to save my life. Even though it was less then 2 seconds ago..

Taken wii remote to work instead of mobile

I'm sure there are Plenty more but i cant think.

On nightshift at 4 am you feel sick with tiredness, colleagues try to keep each other awake, you receive a call and find you cannot calculate how long this thing has been going wrong for - even though it is very simple in daylight hours.

You wake after four hours sleep. It's lunchtime and neighbour is sanding his floorboards. You are gripped by anxiety, churning stomach, heart pounding. You take some herbal sleep tablets and doze for the next few hours before kids come home from school/ nursery. You then pack up your stuff and prepare to do it all again.

Repeat x4

you leave your keys and mobile on the roof of your car..all night.

You find the idea of someone inputting their PIN number to make a jacket potato so hilarious that you almost wake your slumbering 10mo

While waiting outside nursery to drop DC off, someone asks you the name of your baby. You can't remember, so close your eyes to concentrate...and instantly fall asleep.

You put hand soap on your toothbrush instead of toothpaste, and only notice when you've been brushing your teeth for a good 20 seconds.

You continously dream of going on holiday minus kids then feel guilty at finding the prospect so appealing...

You start talking about something but never actually finish the...

Sometimes when the alarm goes off in the morning I try to turn DP off instead.

Generally, it doesn't work.

I don't have children yet

You find yourself staring blankly into the fridge but don't have a clue what you were actually looking for.

You dash into the dining room and start putting the baby's bib on your bemused 8 year old!
