You Know You're Tired When....

I'm used to being tired all the time. It comes with the territory. What bugs me is feeling that hard-to-shake, fuzzy-headedness first thing in the morning, when I just feel like I can't get going. Because Anna is usually going at full tilt in about 30 seconds.

So, I wasn't quite awake when Anna asked me to draw an octopus for her the other day before school.  This is what she got:

Mama T's "undecopus"
Yes, that's right, it has eleven arms. I even took the time to draw the little suction things on the bottom of the arms, I was that alert....yet somehow I didn't realize that I drew 3 too many arms. My little freak of nature is now proudly hanging out on the fridge next to Anna's art.

This is why I'm not quitting my day job!

  1. Oh yeah? LOL At least you have a reason to be tired.. I'm reading your post and thinking to myself - what's wrong with an octopus with 11 arms?  Then it dawned on me.  And I have a degree in math.. Sigh.

  2. Haha! I can't believe i did it - it isn't the first time I have drawn one. I have even made one out of femo clay! I must've been really sleepy. And I haven't taken math since I was a junior in high school :)
