When I am tired I do really doofy things. This tendency is obviously exacerbated by having a newborn or an older baby who is teething, sick, or just decides he would rather not sleep.
For the first time in my life when my second son was about 4 months old I made the classic tired person mistake of driving all the way to Target getting myself, stroller, and baby out of the car and then realizing I did not have my purse. Moreover I had no clue whether it was in my apartment or sitting on the ground of our building's garage in my empty parking space.
Of course there are shocking and tragic stories about tired parents forgetting to take babies out of car seats or putting them on top of their cars and driving away. Let's ignore those colossal and terrible mistakes and focus on the funny and silly ones. What have you readers, those of you who comment anyway, done when you were tired?
Another stupid thing I have done several times when woken up too early in the morning by a baby is take a shower, and at some point midway through the shower completely forget whether I have already washed my hair and then end up washing it twice. Usually after I put the shampoo in the second time I realize that I already used it once.
So what do other people do when exhausted or distracted by the kids?
