Exhaustion is one of the hardest things about being a parent. I remember one early morning when my kids were about 2 years and 2 weeks old that I called my sister in law and said please come help. I don’t think I can make it through the day. Being that tired is painful.

Luckily, the older they get the more you sleep. But it’s just never the same. There is always at least one bad dream, one wet bed, one ear infection, one tooth being cut.

Here are ten signs you’re a tired mom and I would love to hear all the crazy things you’ve done as an exhausted mama.

13 Signs You’re A Tired Mom

You are in the car and you’re running an errand.. but where were you going? You suddenly can’t remember why you were ever in the car to begin with.

You put the milk in the cabinet again.

You lost your cell phone for the third time today. Oh wait, found it. It was in the cabinet, too.

When your husband says he’s tired you roll your eyes at him so hard it hurts.

If he falls asleep on the couch after dinner you “accidentally” drop a pan in the kitchen while you’re doing dishes.

Your car keys are in the fridge.

You look down in the afternoon and realize, that is not my wedding ring on my finger…

Someone wasn’t paying attention this mining. That is NOT my engagement ring.

You realize that in the last year you’ve increased your coffee consumption from one cup each morning to four.

You’ve also switched from Morning Blend to 100% Columbian.

You can’t remember the names of things. What is the thing you stand on in the ocean to ride waves? Oh yeah, surf board – thanks.

You started dishes, walked away and forgot the water was running.

When you leave the room and forget you have the water running. Not sure how I’m gonna dig myself out of this one…

You beg your children to take a family nap. You resort to bribes. It doesn’t work. They expect you to pay the bribe anyway.

When your head finally hits the pillow, it only takes a maximum of 14 seconds to fall asleep.

You’re turn! Leave a comment and tell me your crazy tale.

    Forget coffee. I drink Monster..and I need at least 2 to survive the day.

    I’ve left the garden hose on..created a mini flood outside.

    I pray my son will take a nap..and when he does, so do I.

    I was making breakfast for my son (porridge) and coffee for myself, started stirring the porridge and it was turning brown. That’s when I realised I’ve put coffe to the porridge instead of having it in my coffee cup! Will never ever forget that!🙄

    I tried to nurse my 2.5 year old instead of my 5 month old. Literally picked him up and began to position him in my lap before I realized I had the wrong kid. My 2.5 year old has been weaned from the breast for 9 months.

    I forgot the name “UPS” as I was telling my husband where I was running errands to. Out of the back seat my 5 year old speaks up “USP mom” close enough help for me to actually form a sentence. 🙄

    When you consume green tea just to keep going to get it all done and you have gone from a regular cup of tea to dunkins monster energy mixer to keep going . When you start crying instead of yelling at your kids for misbehaving.
