How do you know ... (funny)

[TSEE]

Funny story that happened to me today.

So the question: How do you know that you're a parent to small kids, had way too little sleep lately and not enough coffee that morning?

Answer: You start pouring coffee creamer (liquid) in your youngest child's bottle instead of milk and don't notice 'til you've got over an ounce in the bottle!

Yup...sure did that today. Like I said combination of lack of sleep and no enough coffee. Came home from having lunch at my son's school today, Christmas "dinner". Went to put my youngest down for a nap with his mandatory bottle of milk (mandatory on his part...he refuses to go down without it) and started pouring coffee creamer into his bottle and thought to myself...wow that milk sure went bad fast, I just used some this morning. Then I notice its not the jug of milk but the coffee creamer in my hand. Crap...oh well, pour the creamer into my coffee cup and rinse out his bottle and give him his milk.

*sigh* Not my day today I guess. :p

Sometimes the old autopilot just doesn't work right. :) Hope it got better.

That's too funny!!! I've actually put the milk in the cupboard and cereal in the fridge before because of overtiredness. Or, I have flaked and put trash in the fridge instead of the trashcan.

LOL work right? I don't think it was turned on! LOL ;) I'm still alive and so are the kids so I guess it has at least not gotten worse. I look forward to sleeping in on Sunday!

Oh no...is that what I have ot look forward to in the morning? LOL I hope not!

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I've stuck a gallon of milk in the cupboard overnight before... :) Stuff happens, live and laugh :)

[sevillafox]

Another perrenial favorite in my house is the pizza that spends the night in the pizza oven when my hubby makes one after he come home from a little partying. Or, putting the ice cream in the fridge not the freezer. I've done that before. :(

[rklepper]

I remember waking up in the morning and looking for the coffee pot only to find that it had been put in the fridge the previous day.

A friend told me (and has a photo on his blog) that he was so tired he went to make a pot of coffee and poured in the beans... yes - BEANS into the filter... he forgot to grind them up. That would have made for an interesting tasting drink...

[GilesGuthrie]

It's good when you can laugh about it. Most of the time, I'm so tired I want to rage or cry when things go wrong.

[TSEE]

LOL Thanks guys, nice to know I'm not the only one with mishaps! :)
No milk in the pantry this morning tho, and the cereal is in its right place.
Still dragging a bit this morning but luckily hubby's on his way home so I can get some help and now this weekend catch up on the much needed sleep!

I truly think having kids saps your brain cells. It's from trying to do too many things at once. I'm always forgetting. It can get pretty frustrating. The other day I caught myself putting the container of milk into the microwave. It was a scary moment.

[TSEE]

LOL...I hope I have SOME brain cells left...or maybe that's the reason I'm STILL struggling to fix my problems in the studio! LOL Can I blame it on having kids?! ;)
*sigh* I hope it gets better as they get older, I don't think being a SAHM does anything for me either, if I didn't have 2 kids in school I wouldn't even know what day it is I bet!
PLEASE tell me it gets better when the kids are older!?

this morning i after i put sugar in my tea i went to set it on the table, which i thought was right next to me, but it wast. It went crashing to the floor and i was about a foot away from the table. Im constantly is a state of delirium.

[sevillafox]

I know someone who was napping in bed with her baby when her older son came to nap with her. She moved the baby to her other side to make room for the older boy and ended up dropping the baby on the floor. Now THAT's tired.

Experienced that one before. We found it a few days later when we started heating the oven up again for dinner. Oh, the smell.

[red hot sheep]

This morning I opened the microwave to get some cereal out!

It doesn't. It gets worse.

To semi-quote Bill Cosby:

When we got married, my wife and I looked at each other and said, "Let's have a little baby!" So we had a little baby.

The baby was still a baby when we looked at each other and said, "Let's have another little baby!" So we had another little baby.

But I want to tell you, not once, ever, in our entire lives, did we ever look at each other and say, "Let's have a couple of teenagers!"

[Mum2J&M]

I think you just block it out as time goes by. Always seems like my kids were so angelic when they were younger, but I know they couldn't have been THAT good. And there is always something to deal with. It just changes with the age. My friend has three kids - her oldest being 12 now - and she said it does get easier. We'll see what her thoughts are with the teenage years, lol.

Parents are usually oblivious to their own child's true behavior. This is genetic. It's a species survival trait.

If you could really see how your child acts, you'd kill the little bastard well before puberty.

Children bring a parent extreme joy twice in their lives:
The day they're born; and
The day they get the hell out!

how bout pouring the milk in the bottle before the liner? ;)

LMCAO! Our kitchen is small and with the table in there even smaller, I doubt I'll be a foot away from anything at any point, probably hit the edge of the counter and either crash against it or just pour out and make a mess instead. That would be my luck!

Oh no, she didn't!? I bet she woke up in a hurry!

This morning I opened the microwave to get some cereal out!

LOL, lucky me I don't use microwave in the morning...I guess next time I might pour coffee in the toaster tho?

It doesn't. It gets worse.

Gee thanks for the encouragement! :p;)

LOL I've done that, that would be me a year ago. LOL

[Kristy]

This is so funny! Thanks for the laugh! :) I do stuff like that a lot... Sometimes i wonder what happened to my brain... LOL!! :) But I agree... lack of sleep, too many committments and other things sometime occupy the forefront of our brains.. and auto-pilot isn't always fool proof! :)

[TSEE]

:) I'm so relieved I'm not the only one who do dumb stuff like this! LOL

[Bootsie]

That is great! :lol:

[ghostrider_9]

How about when you someone asks you where you are going and you realize that you just told a bunch of adults that you had to potty, rather than use the restroom?

[queenbee288]

I can't blame mine on the kids anymore. I blame it on age. I do stupid stuff all the time. That is why my husband nicknamed me Loopy. That is ok. I nicknamed him Droopy.:D

Presumably because he has jowls and/or talks slowly, like the cartoon dog, and hopefully not because other parts do nothing but droop.

Nah. It is because one morning he got up not feeling very well and said, "I feel droopy.":lol:
