YES! I get it! You’re tired! Me too, Mama! In my 1+ hours of awake time at night, I wrote the following Top 10 Signs You’re A Tired Mommy. If you love these and want more posts like this, please comment on this post and share it with your buds.
10.
When you are irritated at him, you accidentally call your husband by your child’s name. Awkward!
9.
You dread the end of nap time… even though they’ve been down for nearly 4 hours.
8.
You have to set an alert on your phone for things like: “take a shower” and “make dinner”
7.
You’ve called your child by another name… and you only have one child.
6.
You close your eyes when you’re on the stationary bicycle and you actually feel a little more rested afterward.
5.
The fact that you have two different socks on doesn’t phase you. Instead, the fact that you remembered to put 2 socks on makes you proud.
4.
When you finally get the chance to go to the movie theatre, you choose one you could do without, because you KNOW you’ll fall asleep.
3.
You haven’t made it out of the driveway without having to run back in for something for the last, say, 1-4 years!
2.
You taught your 3-year-old to feed your infant. However, you DID get the food ready for the occasion. Kudos!
1.
You contemplate buying a camper just so you can get a few more minutes of shut-eye on your way to the grocery store.
——————————
Oh wait! I just thought of one more… A bonus, if you will!
Bonus: You blow dry your hair in hopes it will hold your eyelids open and
they’ll stick that way until bedtime.
Bonus #2: You can’t read a list of signs that you are a tired mommy without
nodding off at least once.
Now, go take a nap, Mom!

#9 and #3 are so me!!! Love this!
Thanks for sharing, Jennifer! I’m happy you enjoyed it!
#9!!!! like every.day. #10 and #3 as well.
At least now you know you are in good company!
I only have #9 so far but maybe that is because I don’t own some of the things on the list like a bike or a driveway or a 3 year old….
Haha! I guess those things would make a difference. 🙂
I am not a mummy and not tired, but 3 can be a sign you’re a FORGETFUL mummy and 10 can be a sign that you’re a forgetful mummy with an annoying family
Haha! You can definitely look at it that way!
