… you wake up to the alarm at 5:30am and forget what it means and what you’re supposed to do about it.
… the phone rings on your bedside table and you answer your remote control and can’t figure out why it won’t stop ringing. (I watched my ex do this.)
… you don’t realize until you go to put the tea cozy on the milk that you put the teapot full of steaming hot steeping tea in the fridge.
The last I did years ago, the first was just this morning. What notable things have you done or seen when exhaustion sabotaged your poor, defenseless brain cells?

Haha…I can relate 🙂 I know I’m tired when I wear different earrings to school and shoes, have worn a different shoe on each foot and only realised when a (sniggering) student pointed it out!

Times like that you really have to laugh at yourself, don’t you? Especially if you have to spend the rest of the day wearing them. 😛 Thanks for sharing, Lee-Anne 🙂

He only got up once last night, at 2:30. He tapped me on the shoulder, I pointed to his room, he went back to bed and I fell asleep listening to him call me. He must have given up because I found him sleeping in the right place when I got up. Not perfect, but an improvement. 🙂

My years with little ones were often like that. The worst, and most frequent thing I did when I was exhausted, was to put a plate of food in the microwave for my lunch. Then, at night, as I went to heat peas, or the following morning, to heat oatmeal, I would find the plate of lunch I never did eat. Oy.

I have done a lot too, the last I did was few days ago. I walked outside with the dog and found that something was strange. I forgot my glasses…..

Were you still able to see where you were going? I suppose it’s no worse than looking for your glasses for five minutes before you realize you’re already wearing them. I’ve done that before. 😛

I have done that too. No, I can see, but not very well. I needed to go back for them, which the dog did not understand, but he did forgive me, when we left the house again 🙂

Nearly left the house with PJ top on because I forgot to put a shirt on when getting dressed. Also I have woken up thinking its ‘Yay Saturday!’ Then realised it was only Monday… On another occasion I put orange juice in my cereal whilst my sister had put apple juice in her tea rather than milk which I poured onto my plate for some reason… THAT was a bad day 🙂

I once put the cereal in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard. Luckily I realized it shortly after. Oh well, at least it wasn’t ice cream…

Oh yes, the things I’ve done with coffee! It’s bound to happen, because that’s the first thing I go for in the morning. Most recently I poured it into my son’s juice glass, which was sitting beside my mug. haha
I hope you didn’t scald yourself!
