Late nights and early mornings

with the occasional feed in between are not doing me any good.

The late nights are my own fault. Small is now tending to go to bed by 9 ish (although sometimes it takes til 9.30 or 10 to get him to sleep) then I’m spending an hour or so faffing about, an hour or two working and another hour or two avoiding going to bed.

I’m not quite sure why I’m avoiding going to bed – something to do with wanting to pretend the next day is going to come quite so soon. But it is, so I’ve got to get more organised, get to bed by midnight, and stop exhausting myself.

The best laid plans…

  1. Oh i sympathise- if i have a lot to do or a lot on my mind, i avoid going to bed because i know i will lie there getting wound up about things. Lists help.. but only if i haven’t got to the point of making lists of lists!!!

  2. I may resort to earplugs tonight as I can’t sleep when it is a howling gale! The wind sort of plays a deep pipe music sound through one of the windows in our bedroom (even though they are only a year old – don’t get me started on that LOL) and it must be just at that resonance that my ears can’t stand. May end up on the sofa tonight – we live at the top of a very high hill – wind is a way of life here.
