I've done #3 even BEFORE becoming a sleep-deprived mom!

[macmars45]

That's hysterical! I'm crying from laughing so hard.

Once I woke H up in a panic asking him where DS was and if H had fed him without me hearing him. DS was in his rnp right next to my side of the bed peacefully sleeping during that whole exchange.

[bcarp30]

Those are so funny! I'm sure I've done similar but am currently too tired to remember!

[dcn]

Those are great.

I left the car door wide open when I went grocery shopping. I came out and panicked, but luckily everything was fine.

I dumped a scoop of formula in my yogurt instead of granola with ds2. That was gross.

"My oldest wasn’t even two when I had my second child. That first week was a blur. One night I got up to feed the baby and heard snoring as I walked past the kitchen. Turns out I’d forgotten to take the older one out of her high chair and she’d fallen asleep, using her spaghetti as a pillow."

this has me a bit horrified

I did the exact same thing when DD was about 2 weeks old. Flapping around the covers, shaking DH to wake him up (it was MOTN), kicking the dogs out of bed thinking they were on her. Yeah, she was asleep next to me in the RNP. I can still remember clearly the sheer feeling of panic though!

Yeah that one made me feel pretty sad. Debbie Downer, lol.

[RexManningDay]

One night right after we moved DD1 to her crib at 4 months, I woke up MOTN from a dream that this huge black snake was chasing us and trying to eat her. My heart was pounding so I looked at her monitor and saw this big black thing waving around on the screen. I legitimately screamed and jumped out of bed, fell over myself to run in there ... our black cat had gotten shut in her room and had jumped in her crib. Lol! It was such a huge terrifying coincidence.

I kinda wonder if I subconsciously wondered where the cat was? It was so weird.

This one makes me feel terrible for that poor kid. Probably doesn't belong in a "25 hilarious things" post.

[waterchurch]

I've totally done 3 and 10.
I also remember more than once trying to snooze the baby monitor like an alarm clock.

[jsillyfun]

I definitely answered the door with a boob out as well lol. And one morning I made a pot of coffee and then dumped it down the sink.

[momin2013]

Mine is that I came 'this close' to pouring orange juice on my cereal. On multiple occasions.

[krystee]

I am still amazed at the sheer exhaustion of those first two weeks. It felt like I was swimming through sludge just making it through the day because my body felt like a million pounds and my brain was blurry. I think I truly went five days with a total of eight hours of sleep (like 1.5 hours each night). It started because I was awake all night in labor (so 0 hours of sleep that night), then he was a really noisy baby and I just stared at him all night on night 2, then it seemed like we had nurses in all the time the next night, and then we went home and were promptly readmitted for jaundice, and I had to be awake the whole night to take him out of his isolate and feed him every hour. Then it was his first night home and I was scared to sleep in case anything happened to him (lack of sleep-induced paranoia). H's parents came to town the next day to stay with us, and I think my complete zombie state legitimately scared them.

The idea of doing that again kind of terrifies me. Luckily I can see now what a tiny blip it was. When living it, I wondered how I would survive.

These were hilarious.  Some of these I have done pre-kids though. I remember I put baby formula in the coffee pot.  A month ago when the baby was 1, I took her dirty diaper off but forgot to put on a new one and dropped her off at day care.  I was overtired, we were getting our house ready for a showing, and my older son distracted me.  By some miracle she didn't go and the DC provider noticed she didn't have a diaper on.  She laughed so hard, and so did my husband.  I joked I was potty training her at 12 months.

I remember pouring water in my cereal at least 3 separate times. Meaning, I filled a bowl with cereal, walked over to the sink, and turned on the faucet.

[undecidedowl]

I've done at least 3 of those. I don't know how many times I've tried to get into daycare using my work badge and people just stare at me like I'm crazy lol.

[mskitkat]

My favorite was when I asked DH when his car had gotten a crack in the windshield just like mine. We were in my car (DH was driving!).

[felicity]

I've done the stop sign one...a lot. Mostly pre-kids.

I went trough a horrible phase of frequently waking up thinking I was smothering the baby. We never bed shared.

We kept losing things around the kitchen and came to the conclusion one or both of us was accidentally throwing away things. I really miss our old paring knife.

[mainelyfoolish]

I used Playtex nursers with my kids, the kind you need to put a liner in before you fill them with milk/formula. On more than one occasion I poured my kid's food into a bottle with no liner, i.e. a hollow tube, only to watch the milk pour all over the counter and floor. Eventually I wised up and started storing the bottle bodies with a liner already inserted.

[blueberry10]

Some of these are too familiar! Mine is driving-related, like so many others...

My first solo outing with both kids after DS came was to Target and I was all concerned about getting them in and out of the car together. So I got the kids all settled back in after shopping, breathed a sigh of relief because yay, I did it!, put the car in reverse, and...backed right into the shopping cart that I had left sitting right behind the car. Oops.

I did that more than once with DS1. I never got smart enough to store them with liners

I was laughing so hard I was crying. Just this week I did the nursing bra one. It was all sad trombones when I realized I was no more/less supported eith the straps on or off.

And I don't think the breastmilk one should be allowed on the list. I woukd cry real tears over that.

[browneyedgirl9]

These are so funny!

And feel terrible for that poor mom who was taking care of a 1 week old baby, herself post delivery and a toddler on her own.

[halfpint]

I definitely caught myself "hanging out" post nursing. I was nursing him in the carrier once while walking around a cute historic town - so think touristy people everywhere, lots of older women visiting quilt shops and wine bars and gourmet food stores. He unlatched and fell asleep, I didn't even think about readjusting, and I obliviously walked around town for a good 45 minutes all exposed out the side of the carrier. Like, EXPOSED.

I've turned on the coffee maker without putting the pot underneath on multiple occasions since DS was born. There is no bigger mess to clear than hot watery coffee grounds all over your counter/floors.

[amandakisser]

LOL I definitely texted my husband once to ask when he was coming to bed...and he was already asleep next to me. He wasn't very happy that I woke him up but, well, at least he got a little taste of how I was feeling that night

[divanerd]

So funny I dumped dishwashing liquid in my coffee instead of cream

I did that several times too! Such a mess.

My kids are 4 & 7 and this morning I wore my house shoes to school dropoff and then got into the backseat of my own car! DOH
