You know your tired when.....

Lets share silly tired stories! I'm good for doing something ridiculous when I'm sleepy. I know I can't be the only one from the thread the other day about talking in your sleep and things! So here are my stories:


1. You know your tired when you get in the shower, squirt some conditioner in your hands....then rub it on your face like face wash! I've also used body wash as shampoo...

2. You know your tired when (this is from tonight too) you pick up the hot compress you just made and hold it up to your ear and say 'Hello?' Yes I just did this. I have some pimple/bug bite on my cheekbone near my ear and it's bigger than a quarter and red and stuff, so my mom and co-worker suggested trying to put a hot washcloth against it. So that's what I was doing. Come to think of it, now I'm holding it to my head with my shoulder, just like a phone (pre hands free kit days of course!)


Ok, so anyone else have a silly sleepy story!?! I wanna hear some pleeeease!!

Oh I have a few

1. I too, have been guilty of using body wash for shampoo

2. I have gotten into the shower with my pj's still on .... seriously tired

3. I poured kitty food into a bowl for my cereal, and the cereal into the cat food bowls - thank god I realized what I did before I poured milk on the cat food and ate it!

I shouldn't be allowed to function until at least a 4 hours after I've been awake

I bet you'd be awake real fast after taking a bit of milk covered kitty food!

Oh thats for sure!! Eewwww

I've put hair jell on my tooth brush. Thank God I caught that one.

I can't think of anything really funny (maybe I'm just too tired to remember) but I often

- go to wash my hands before eating and end up brushing my teeth instead

- put ice cream in the fridge (or occasionally put cheese in the freezer)

- not remember if I've fed the cats already... so I feed them again, just in case.

mmm... I'll think of some better ones later. Time for bed now

You know you're tired when....
You sit down after dinner to read the newspaper and wake up the next morning still holding it!!

I ahve actually lied down to read a book, and woken up in the morning with the book still in my hands.

Or when one kitty does something wrong, and you list off every other kitty. 'Orion! I mean, Nacho, I mean, Poptart, I mean Gordito!'

You literally start going mad/insane. I did that for 1 day after I had just come home from the hospital with my newborn Marie. Instead of going into that depression girls get after being pregnant, I started thinking that my baby would live for forever and she didn't need to eat....I literally think that crazy thinking was cause I had never slept more than 2 hours each night without being woken up to feed my baby while I was in the hospital. Once I got some sleep and my husband woke for the first couple of nights home to take care of her....that's when my sanity came back. I had some sleep!!
And also when you fall asleep in bed with the T.V. running and the remote control in your hand. (My husband found me asleep like that once).

I hate when you get home from work or a busy day in general and the phone rings and you get halfway through saying "Good afternoon, Blah company, Sarah speaking" before you realise what you're saying.

I was actually volunteering at the shelter recently, and I went into business mode, and said "Good afternoon, AQIS, Sarah speaking". AQIS is the Government Dept I worked for in Australia before I moved to the US - this is about 8 months ago now!!! The poor person on the end of the phone was so confused...

when you shower twice before bed! Yep.. I showered earlier this evening and then just took another one before bed..I am mid way through washing my hair for the 2nd time when I realized I had already done this once!

Guess I need to sign off and go to sleep!

By the way I LOVE your new Siggy! Did you make it?

Weirdest thing I have done is not all that weird. I got in to the shower a few times with my underwear or bra still on and didn't realize it right away.

First to my mind is the time I wore hair curlers during my nap between jobs, then forgot to take them out.....I waited on my first table before a coworker showed up for his shift & told me! Those poor people were too polite to acknowledge the embarrassing situation

I wore a dress inside-out to work once, and chatted with about four people before someone told me.

I have got into the shower with my glasses on heaps of times, but that's no biggie. I fell asleep in the shower once, though, and Max had come to see what on earth I was doing when he found me.

But the worst thing that I've ever done because of extreme tiredness was drive right into oncoming traffic. I had an accident and was cautioned by the police. I would NEVER do anything like that normally, but I don't remember much about it and it was all because I was literally so tired I couldn't function. Scary.

I once put my cereal box in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard... luckily that was when I was younger and lived at home so my Mom caught it I have also worn 2 different shoes to school

Mackenzie, that cat food/cereal story is the best! Harley was probably like "what the heck or you doing Meowmy?? I don't like Lucky Charms"

I have put zit cream on my toothbrush, and started to brush my teeth with it before I realized, hmm this doesn't taste minty it tastes gross!!!

I have picked up my stapler of my desk and proceeded to answer it "this is brandi may i help you" meanwhile the phone is still ringing...

I have sharpened mechanical pencils

That is all I can remember right now....

i actually did something this morning!! i had to work last night,, i didnt get off work till around one this morning. my truck is broke so i had to take DH to work (so i could keep the truck) then i was SUPPOSED to come back home and go back to bed yeah well ... i ended up driving to MY work after i dropped him off. i sat in the parking lot for about 5 min before it hit me .. I dont have to go to work till 4 pm today and im sitting in the parking lot at 6 am!!! we dont even open till 10:30 lol im still not awake i think i might actually go back to bed now haha

I don't know if this is from being tired or old, but my sweet old mom put her cooled cup of tea in the refrigerator, turned on the microwave for 1 minute and then couldn't understand where her cup of tea had disappeared to when she opened the microwave. We laughed at that one for awhile.

Ok, so it was around Christmas time, and I had a TON of stuff on my mind & wasn't sleeping well for weeks... I had to make cookies for Jasmine's party at school, they were having a multi class party for their grade. It was getting late and I had been making chocolate chips for awhile, and I was getting to the last batch, I crack the eggs in the bowl, when I realize I didn't have any butter left out.... shoot, I say, and grab the hardened butter from the fridge, throw it in the bowl, and think... well, I'll just microwave it for a few seconds to soften it. Yeah, I ended up with boiled eggs.... and couldn't figure out what the small chunks of white were in with the butter... I even called my husband over to look & see what it was... he held that moment over my head for a long time... he says "you hard boiled the eggs!" and thought it was the funniest thing ever. I was not amused. Now I had soft butter and no eggs..... ugh! back to the drawing board!
