I bloody hate summer part 2

[Jimjamskeepingoffvaxthreads]

He's STILL up. Grrrrrrr. And will bounce out of bed at 5.30am tomorrow. Double grrrr.

[Jimjamskeepingoffvaxthreads]

Thank god we've done the bloody longest day. Roll on November. He sleeps 12 hours then.

[eidsvold]

although we don't have the long nights like you do - I am enjoying the winter sleep ins - at least until 6.30ish. But in summer - no such luck.

[moondog]

I'm assuming you've tried blacking out the room???

[Davros]

Yes, I was whooping with joy when we passed the longest day! Sleep not the problem for us but not being able to go out, use the garden, everywhere full of people, grrr

[Jimjamskeepingoffvaxthreads]

Oh that's true Davros as well. Going to the beach is very difficult in the summer, I take ds1 quite a bit during the winter. Is your garden shared? I'm a bit dozy because I didn't clock that.

I did elbow dh in the ribs on the night of the longest day to point out it was getting darker from now on. He's been moaning since the clocks changed.

[coppertop]

I'd been wondering why ds1's behaviour had been so much worse over the past couple of months and why he always seemed so tired. Turns out he's been getting up as soon as there's even a hint of light outside. Grrrr! Got up at 5am to feed dd and there he was.

Same here. Not bed till 10.30/11ish although fortunatley sleeps in the morning, struggle to get him up for school though.

AND its the school holidays on Friday - arghhhh!!!!

[eidsvold]

having said that - this week with no school etc despite being out and about ( and I think missing dh) dd1 is not getting off to sleep at 7pm her normal time but a bit later around 8.30 - 9pm. Nothing like your time though.

[Eulalia]

Oh no, school have just phoned and said he's not well enough to come in the next couple of days (he's been a bit iffy recently).... so that's our school hols starting as of 2.30pm this afternoon....for the next 8 weeks.... and no holiday club till Monday.... sorry jimjams total thread hyjack.

Im hating these sunny light mornings too. I dyed my sons curtains and linings navy blue to keep the room dark. I did have a blind up but my two boys pulled it down so its just curtains up for the time being.
