You are as tired when you wake up as you were when you went to bed. Or like me this morning more so. (DD aged 1 still does not sleep through the night and has never done so. Last night she decided to wake up every hour and a half. Then I got up at 4.30am with her and got ready for work at 6am and got home at 6pm) Yawn....zzzz....

You throw your blackberry into the bin in Starbucks and go to check your email on a coffee cup Blush

I feel SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you for this. Thought I was going batty.

You put nappies in the washing machine. Disposable nappies.

PenguinArmy · 29/05/2012 20:02

leaving window's open when not in the house, leaving keys in house or car door frequently is just a fact of life.

cocoachannel · 29/05/2012 20:02

StillSquiffy- I thought that was just me, so glad someone else does!

When you try and read a book and everytime you pick it up you have to keep re-reading the same bit just to catch up with where you were. Except you never get past that bit...it's like groundhog book. I used to like reading Sad

yy to banging into door handles all the time, and as for the bit that sticks out of the stair gate that I always manage to catch my arse cheek on, who the f designed that?

StillSquiffy Oh yes. Most definitely. In isolation though Wink

binkstrella · 29/05/2012 20:09

you drop ds off at nursery, turn to talk to nursery staff, turn back, kiss him on the head, say "Goodbye gorgeous, see you soon", then realise is not your son.

PeahenTailFeathers · 29/05/2012 20:12

You pour out cornflakes and milk for your breakfast, take your bowl to the table and stare at the strangely empty dish until you realise you've put the cornflakes in your tea mug instead Hmm Grin.

sounds and thing out the corner of your eye kind of distort every so slightly...it's kind of groovy after a while.

StoneBaby · 29/05/2012 20:16

You pour orange juice on your cereals then when you notice, you carry on eat them as you can't be bothered to get up, throw them away and start again this time with milk

soozlewoozle · 29/05/2012 20:18

you put your used knickers in the toilet instead of the dirty clothes basket.

Makinglists · 29/05/2012 20:21

You can't remember your second child's name and they just become 'child 2' :)

zabwino · 29/05/2012 20:22

You take a big swig from the baby's bottle instead of your glass of water. Yuck.

ziptoes · 29/05/2012 20:40

when you phone the office and say you'd like to get rid of your boss.... You intended to say get hold of your boss. Blush

fishandlilacs · 29/05/2012 20:58

you write down a weird combination of your 4 yr olds & 4 months olds date of birth when signing in at the sure start centre.

I wrote my son was to be born august this year................

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 29/05/2012 21:05

Oh yes, the wearing of the top inside out. Classic.

I managed that last week. It was inside out AND back to front. With the label sticking out fetchingly at a jaunty angle under my chin. Didn't realise till I took it off to go to bed ..... Means I must have also never bothered to look in a mirror all day. Or was too tired to even notice if I did look. Too tired to remember....

babybythesea · 29/05/2012 21:12

Stillsquiffy - not only hospital, but jail! I fond myself thinking about how nice it would be to be locked in a cell with nothing to do but sleep, and eat meals someone else cooked.....

babybythesea · 29/05/2012 21:12

find myself. I find myself.

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 29/05/2012 21:26

babybythesea glad it was such a good thought that you had to fond yourself over it Wink made me laugh

maxtrue · 29/05/2012 21:28

Forgetting to put a bra on for school run (thank god it was winter)

Needed a blanket to cover the juggernauts.....they were hanging quite low down so had to cross arms and walk like I was cross...

Have left keys in door and gone to sainbos....mobile on car seat all night....gave dd1 quavers for lunch one day (tired and sick)

bringmesunshine2009 · 29/05/2012 21:48

Woman at coffee shop looks at me weirdly. I realise I am emptying packets of sugar into the bin and not the cup. Oh.

Glabella · 29/05/2012 21:48

When strangers ask how old the baby is, you have to think really hard, looking like the most useless mother ever.

You fall asleep standing up, leaning over the cot while shushing baby to sleep, and wake up when she tries to latch onto your ear.

Buckfollocks · 29/05/2012 21:58

You get a huge brain freeze when the lady at the hospital asks for your daughters date of birth.........

To be fair I wouldn't have been able to tell her my own date of birth either! Am pregnant though so people seem to make allowances!

I didn't understand the 'fish for 6mo' one until it was explained! Confused
