"Do Apples Eat Alligators?" And Other Tales of My Dork-ness
When I get really tired, I get really loopy. When I have a migraine on top of that, I just get plain dumb.
Let's go through my yesterday so I can illustrate it for you...
It started with making a piece of toast for Madeleine's lunch. I buttered the bread and out of habit, put the knife straight in the sink. Then I realized I had to cut the toast. So I washed the knife and put it... straight... in the... dishwasher. You think that's bad? You should have seen me searching every where for the knife I had just barely washed.
Not two minutes later I was cleaning up the rubber spatula, wooden spoon mess she had made and instead of trying to put them in the cupboard where they belonged... I tried putting them in the fridge. !!??
A bit later, I got in the shower and shampooed my hair, not once, but twice! Yes, I just love wasting shampoo.
While we waited for Dan to shower, I read Madeleine her Zoophabet ABC book. I've read this book 8 million times and have it completely committed to memory. And yet, not two pages into it, instead of Alligators eating Apples, it was the other way around. It was just down hill from there. This was not the only set to be confidently flip-flopped. (I seem to recall something about Nectarines being fond of Nightingales.)
And this was all before lunch! It feels like a piece of my brain just goes missing when exhausted and migraine combine. While I am sure it gives my family a big laugh, it drives me right up the wall.
Had any good "duh" moments lately? Or did I use up everyone else's, all by myself, in one day?
