Delusions of Mediocre

I keep turning on the windshield wipers in my car instead of the headlights.  I have repeated this annoying mistake countless times since I got my car out of the shop.  I realize it has been a few months since the van and I were together, but is that really long enough to completely forget where the light turn on-y thing is?  Maybe lack of sleep has left me completely unable to think and learn properly.  I haven't been sleeping well at all since my knee surgery, and I've noticed a few other things amiss in my everyday activities.  I've heard stories of new moms doing some pretty strange things when they are faced with sleep deprivation for the first time, but I'm a pro...with 4 kids, I haven't had a decent night's sleep in over 13 years...so why would it be affecting me so harshly all of a sudden?  I'm not sure, but here are some more wacky things I've done this week:

Tried to open my store with my house key.  Everyday I worked last week.

Fed the cats Cocoa Crispies instead of cat food. 

Maybe it was fed the kids cat food instead of Cocoa Crispies.  Not too clear on which.

Left 3 or 4 people on hold at work, completely forgotten.  Until they called back angry on line 2.

Had a daydream about the new Zombie Apocolypse birthday party option at Chuck E. Cheese.  ???

I'm sure there are a few more goodies I could add, but these are the highlights.  Perhaps it's time I broke down and asked the Doc for that Ambien prescription.  For the kids' sakes.  Or the cats.  Can't remember which.

  1. I'm sorry to laugh at your misery, but these are hilarious.

    For laughing at you, I'll share this, I accidentally ate a piece of cat food the other day. I thought it was a piece of cookie. It clearly wasn't.
