You know you're tired when you ...

You know you are tired when you mistake Desitin in the white tube for your Sensidine toothpaste. It took me about three brushes to realize something is wrong. ISH!!


My TWO YEAR OLD BETTER START SLEEPING LATER!!!!

When you mistake nail polish remover for eye makeup remover...that was a close one!

I just woke up from dreaming I was sleeping. Sigh.

I need a "like" button for that one, Laurie.

Mine is my current facebook status. I'd called the house while I was out and promptly forgot I'd ever made such a call. When I got home, I looked through the caller ID to see what calls I'd missed (I have my voicemail set to 15 rings b/c I hate to pick up messages). I saw a phone number that was familiar, but I couldn't place it. I knew I liked the person the number belonged to, so I just called back.

I called myself back.

To make matters worse, when my cell started ringing in my pocket, I assumed it was my husband calling (he has his own ringtone, and our home phone is in my phone under his name), so I ignored the ringing cell to see if anyone would answer my return call. Which, of course, they didn't b/c I've got it set to 15 rings or so before my voicemail picks up.

Jenn, that is hilarious!!!

This thread made me laugh so hard my abs hurt!

I do the "lose your glasses when they're sitting on your nose" thing, but with my kids. DS still gets a kick out of the time I frantically searched the house for DD, and he got to be the one who laughed and said, "She's right there in your arm, Mom!" I've done that more than once.

I've never boarded the wrong plane, but a coworker & I took a road trip in a state vehicle to do some focus groups. We took I-40 west to get there... so as we were leaving & chatting it up, it made sense to take I-40 west to get back home. We didn't notice until we hit the state line an hour away. I wish I could blame that one on being tired... We got a good laugh, and never told anyone at the office.

I did this once. I had just moved to KC and dropped my parents off at the airport. I set the GPS to take me "home." It took me 30 minutes of driving east to realize that I wasn't going to loop back anytime soon and that I would be arriving in MD at 7 AM the next day. Fortunately, I can blame it on being tired. I had just driven a day and a half and moved into our new apartment. I was wiped.

. . . when the thought of revising that damn contract one more time makes you want to take to your bed until next Spring.

When D was about 18 mo (and my only kid) I was out with some mom friends. The kids were playing and we moms were chatting. All of a sudden I freaked because I couldn't see D. We were kind of near a road. I started scanning other people to make sure they hadn't taken him, and I asked the other moms to help me look for him. They stared at me like I was crazy. And then pointed out that I was nursing him.

I read these aloud to my colleague/office-mate and she was laughing so hard she cried off her mascara.

I was just thinking--I think I've had one drink in the past year and a half! Half that time I was pregnant, but the other half of that time I've never had an evening where I felt like I could handle having a depressant in my system--I'm barely upright even without it.

You know you're tired when you're too exhausted to drink!

This thread is a classic. We should start a book of classics.
