You know you're exhausted when you fall face first into your morning bowl of cheerios; doze off at church and drop hymnal when everyone is standing up singing; you get up in the morning to take the dog out for usual walk and wake up in bed with dog still on leash begging to go outside.

You realize that you've poured the milk into a glass and the orange juice on your cereal. And, then afterwards you put the cereal in the refrigerator and the milk in the cupboard.

...you are worried and you know you have good reason to be; you just can't remember what the reason is. Later you remember what you were worried about and are frightened that you could have forgotten.

...you tell your spouse the things the pediatrician said that upset you, and your 6-year-old helps fill in the details.

You wake up and your Pot Bellied Pig is sleeping faithfully at your feet on the bed again. You feed him, give him a bath in the tub, let him go for a car ride with you. When you get back home you let him out in the yard to play. Then you realize, you don't own a Pot Bellied Pig. You start to wonder if being exhausted is your ONLY problem.

When you buy some expensive cheese for a dish your going to prepare in a few days, and you don't really cook much, but when you go to make the recipie you can't find the cheese, then wonder if you bought it, and then wonder why you have, because you don't really cook, but you're turning the kitchen upside down and don't find it until 2 weeks later, when you don't really care about it! But hate it cause you swore you did buy it and spent too much $.Then just when you're over all this...You go to work and the damn Principal tells everyone they have to read read the book, "Who Moved My Cheese" and tell how it can make us grow! Just my luck.

...you come home, throw your lunch dishes in the sink, turn on the water and then run to the bedroom "real quickly" to change. When you get back to the kitchen after tidying up the bed and bathroom, the suds are standing 12 inches above the sink and the water is (thankfully) overflowing into the other sink and not on the floor. Two hours later, on your way to bed, you find the groceries you bought earlier...still on the counter.

...when you fall asleep when reading to your 4th grade class-and nearly fall off the chair.

Oh SU, don't try to tell me this exact same situation hasn't probably happened to most of us here several times.
Well if not, I'm just blaming the whole thing on Pre-Pap Brain Fog...

You are dreaming about doing the dishes while laying on the kitchen counter (I know, a very odd dream), when suddenly your spouse comes into the kitchen and startles you awake. You then come to realize your hands are really in the soapy dish water and your head has been resting on the counter next to the sink for who knows how long. Try explaining that one away... "No Honey, I wasn't sleeping, really"

"I wasn't asleep, I was just resting my eyes."
"Do you always snore when you rest your eyes?"

1. you talk on the wrong cell for an hour
2. no reflection in the mirror
3. a sleep study is preferred to a day spa
4. you try stuffing your dog into a drier after its washing
5. you sit down to work at your previous place of employment
6. you realize that you don't recognize the new room-mate
7. you say " uh-huh " to everything the kids want
8. you arouse to a cop tapping on your window
9. daydreams segeway to dreams while in class
and the number ten reason your exhauisted
10. the movie "50 First Dates" always seems new
