You know you’re really tired when...

10. It’s 2015 and you write 1983 on your checks.

9. You know you’re really tired when you’re enjoying Jimmy Fallon’s monologue, and then, without warning, Seth Meyers is saying goodnight to his audience.

8. You know you’re really tired when your husband points out that you’ve fed the cat twelve times in the last fifteen minutes.

7. You know you’re really tired when you’re playing Sudoko and you start looking for the tens.

6. You know you’re really tired when you sit back to relax in a first-class seat of a luxury jet, then realize you’re supposed to be in the cockpit.

5. You know you’re really tired when you’re walking around the garden of a large estate, savoring the aroma of newly mown grass and heady June roses, and suddenly your husband nudges you to say, “You’re snoring.”

4. You know you’re really tired when you decide those were the best chocolate-covered raisins you ever ate and then you realize that that wasn’t chocolate, and those weren’t raisins.

3. You know you’re really tired when you’re a contestant on the reality survivor show Naked and Afraid, you don’t have your shelter made, you’re being bitten by mosquitoes and fire ants, you hear the low growl of a large cat, and you still manage to get some sleep.

2. You know you’re really tired when you close your eyes, settle in for a refreshing eight hours of rest, and feel a restorative sense of peace fill your mind and body. Unfortunately, however, you’re driving on the New Jersey Turnpike.

1. You know you’re really tired when you can’t think of a tenth item for a top ten list of things that happen when you’re really tired.



(Hubby made some contributions to the list, because I was really tired.)

    I'm a New York grandma, living in San Antonio. I've been writing nonsense for a few years now, and I think there's enuff of it now to start a blog.
