Yeah, about two weeks after we brought our third home, I got up at about 2AM and for some reason I can't think of, I went downstairs (and had to open two locked baby gates in the process) turn on the lights, and brewed a pot of coffee. Problem was I put the grounds in, put the water in, but forgot to put the pot under the drip thing-a-mabob. All 12 cups ran over the counter and kitchen floor. The missus wasn't too happy, and neither was I. Not so much for the cleanup, but the fact that I had to clean it all up before I could make another pot.
The things you do when operating on autopilot.
Just about anyone who has been in the Army (or prob any branch of service) has developed a talent to sleep at a moments notice ANYWHERE. On a ten minute bus ride, standing in a water filled foxhole, whatever. I put that to good use for all of our children. Rocking them and feeding them - I'm snoozing. Ten minutes in between dinner and setting the table - snoozing. You name it....
