Top 10 Signs You're Sleep Deprived

3/21/2015

10. Making frozen veg in the microwave requires reading the directions at least 8 times (what?! At least it's vegetables?)

9. Entertaining the baby means scattering Cheerios on your dirty kitchen floor, like feeding chickens (What?! I had to distract so I could read the directions on the frozen veg)

8. When baby discovers an empty beer bottle in the recycling you are thankful for his resourcefulness in finding new toys (what's the worst case?…a few drops of beer soothes those raging gums?)

7. You spend the day at home trapped in this thought loop: "how did I get in this room?" "What am I here for?" "Did I leave the baby gate open!?!" No.  "How did I get in this room?"

6. It takes a good 10 seconds for you to register that your child is speaking to you

5. You see an image on TV of an empty jail cell with a single bunk and wonder "what could I do to get in there?"

4. You spy an old Christmas chocolate (it's March) under some rotten fruit in the fruit bowl and it's devoured at lightening speed. 

3. Your middle of the night lullabies, while still gentle in tone, contain more F-bombs than an episode of Jerry Springer.

2. The text from your husband saying he will be home 5 min late sends you into a rage so fierce that your revenge plan resembles something you saw once on Criminal Minds.

1. You decide driving is too dangerous in your condition, besides finding pants is also too hard

All characters and events in this list are entirely fictional, any resemblance to my entire day is completely coincidental

This is me in my pj's, bouncing an overtired baby, while reading a sleep book and typing out my sleep plan.  Because when I read and write about it I get to enjoy the illusion of having complete control of the situation.  At least for those precious 15 min.

    Karen Barré is an accomplished mom of 3 that can make snacks ALL day long and still find the time to make light-sabers out of paper and duct tape.  As long as the conditions are perfect.  And everyone slept the night.  And we have groceries in the house.  Or paper.  Okay, I did it once, it was a highlight.
