I woke up the other morning at my usual 5:42 am….why it is 5:42 exactly nobody knows for sure! 🙂 But as soon as I awoke I noticed both my eyes felt really strange. At first I thought maybe I had pink eye, then I thought they just felt really dry. I rubbed them, washed my eyes out a bit, and it was still no better. My vision was a bit blurred and I was a tad concerned as to what was going on. I also noticed something really odd, I could see quite well. I wondered to myself if God performs healings while we sleep just to humor us on a busy morning. I was quite perplexed as to why my eyes felt horrible and why I could see so well. I got in the shower, some how thinking that would fix my situation. After all the shower can fix everything in the morning. 🙂
After I got out of the shower, still feeling dry, foggy, weird, eyes….I decided to put my contacts in……………yep you probably figured it out by now………it was then, and only then, when I reached for my contact case and found it EMPTY, that I realized I had slept with my contacts in all night!
What a ding dong I am, and the funniest part about it is I had NO clue!
So this post is just something for all you young 30 something readers to look forward to when you become a 40 something girl, you will see how your brain turns to mush and this is simply a new NORMAL! Just a little something to look forward to.

well I am glad you found them!!!
I often go looking for my cell phone when I am talking on it! Mush is right!
I call that Mom brain and I am so there. I can’t tell you how many times I have done that. Man it hurts too. Hope they came out of your eyes eventually. 🙂 Have a great Thursday and don’t forget to remove the contacts tonight. LOL
oh my gosh…..been there done that only not with contacts but with my car keys…my teenager found me wandering around the house asking where are my keys when the whole time they were dangling from my jacket pocket. sigh….a sign of getting older! you made me laugh today!! God bless you!
A few weeks ago I stayed at a friend’s house. I got ready for bed and completed my contact ritual. Then I purposely took my contact case with me to my bedroom because it is the type that has a vent release on the top and she has cats…didn’t trust that combination. Anyhow…I woke up and immediate knew I still had my contacts in (because I do it all the time!). I had filled the case but never taken my contacts out of my eyes. doy

You aren’t alone.
I used to have a “If I Only Had a Brain” as my default ring tone on my cell!
