That is what Micah asked Eloise this morning, because I have officially lost my mind. I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or what, but I have been so out of it. Yesterday Eloise had a major blow-out, and I had to clean all the sheets on our bed. I put them in the washer, and when it stopped I went in to put them in the dryer. Then I remembered that I had forgotten to even put in any... what is it called? Detergent? Soap? (See? Losing my mind. Micah confirms detergent though.) Anyway, so I had to re-wash. Then I put all of it in the dryer, but forgot a dryer sheet. Then when Micah got home, I was going to make rice, but was way too tired to clean the rice cooker (I think sleep deprivation is racking up the points as the root of the matter...) So I made pasta. I got out the pot, and then could not remember how to make pasta. How. To. Make. Pasta. And then this morning when I was taking my shower, I poured shampoo in my hand, but then rubbed it on my body instead. Oops. More shampoo, this time in the hair. Then when I poured conditioner in my hands, I started to rub it on my face, thinking it was face wash all of a sudden. That one I realized sooner, because it's such a crazy texture. Anyway, altogether I need to get some more sleep. I need energy back to fold laundry and do dishes. And I need my brain back.
Welcome to motherhood. Now I attribute it to age. Just yesterday I poured shampoo in my hand and started to wash my face with it, so I know exactly what you're going through!
ReplyDeleteAw, poor Laura! I remember those days. Everything is harder when you aren't getting any sleep. Do you need me to take Eloise for an afternoon? I can come get her tomorrow if you'd like, and you can just rest.
ReplyDeleteYou and Lucy can commiserate - sleep deprivation is not so good. But you are cute to see the humor in it and write so cleverly!
ReplyDeleteWell, at least I know I'm not alone! And Charity, that would be fantastic. I just feel like it has all added up recently, and I just need some solid rest, haha.
ReplyDeleteI resolved when Jericho was born 21 years ago to just wash myself with Shampoo and then I do not have to worry about it... At least it is "cleaning something" It is ok. It will get better :) They will be cute and sweet and thank you when they have their own kids. My mom got a gift from me once... It said "If I'd known Grandkids are so fun I would have had them first!" hahahaha
