Anyone Up?

[Christmasfairy07]

I’m watching The Real Housewives of Cheshire - The Reunion whilst thinking I really should be in bed. And I have the munchies! Crackers & Brie methinks.......

I’m up - I can’t sleep, my brain won’t shut up tonight

DH has a cold and has made our bed all sweaty and his snoring sounds like a whiney chainsaw so I’ve given up and come downstairs

The cat is very pissed off as I’ve kicked him off the sofa

My brain is very tired but my restless legs are giving me hell. I'm just waiting on medications to kick in now.

Bird Box is a horror/thriller film on Netflix.

I have eye shingles of sorts and it hurts

@Juanbablo

I remember getting the same both my boys did aswell (not for a while thankfully) the youngest used to sleep crying and couldn't wake him up but he would shout in his sleep about sore legs.

Been in bed hours but restless. My brain is working overtime. First day back at work tomorrow. Over Christmas been feeling anxious. I just want to sleep

@Christmasfairy07

It's a "horror film" on Netflix with Sandra bullock. It was good, not scary but it's the tension because there are children in it. My body gets all would up. Hate watching things like that with children in it.

DD 9 woke up crying hysterically that her nose hurt and then her legs hurt 😔 (growing pains) she's now laid next to me with the hot water bottle and DH has gone to the sofa 🤔.
She's absolutely fine now she's calmed down and I have a sneaky suspicion she has scared herself watching Dr Who.

@KTyoupigeon it's my other daughters birthday In the morning (she will be 13) so I was feeling a bit excited too before my other dd decided to scream the house down 🙈.
I hope she has a good day

Awake, I fall asleep on sofa. Wake go to bed and just lie here awake... Back to sofa it is then.

Yawn. Another bloody sleepless night.

I need a wee and can't be bothered to get out of bed until I'm desperate.

I’m a Scot in Florida, it’s only 22:18 here

I'm just about ready to give up on sleep. I'm tired and took two sleeping tablets but all they've done is made me slightly drowsy. Now I'm feeling rather manically productive but not in a way that makes me want to move and do anything other than make lists in my head. Which for some reason right now is just food. Which isn't helpful because I've already sorted what I'm eating tomorrow.

Breakfast: bacon, hake, prawn, onion and mushroom omelette (because the fillings need eating up).

Dinner: Spaghetti bolognese sauce with baked potato and salad, cheese and coleslaw.

Tea: Chicken Thighs (roast with some sort of seasoning) with rice noodles that's been tossed in butter, soy sauce and a little of whatever I marinade the chicken in.

And my brain is screaming at me to go eat a massive bowl of weetabix (which I don't like) because there's no cornflakes (I'm not hungry so this shouldn't be an issue), to pack up the things I've sold online ready to post as soon as the post office opens (I don't drive and know my mum can't drop them off till the afternoon so there's no reason for me to fixate), that right now is a good time to sort and start doing my washing, cleaning the fridge and climbing in the loft to put things away.

Instead what I am doing is contemplating making a cuppa and possibly doing some online shopping (which I won't buy till tomorrow around sixish in the evening to prevent impulse buys as I really need to save money).

Sometimes I really hate my brain. There are actual important things that I need to do tomorrow that will be drowned out because I'm tired or fixating on something else. I've already changed my pjs twice because nothing felt right and been in and out of bed opening and closing the window because I can't decide if I'm hot or cold and now I really want some flash fried chicken mini fillets coated in mock nando's peri peri garlic sauce.

Still awake because I have a bad back and painkillers have given me indigestion so I thought I would be better sitting up, which is good as this afternoon I couldn't sit, only stand or lie down. Not sure now if I can stand up but hey ho, it all makes for exciting times

Still awake. Why is my mind doing this? I'll be useless tomorrow and have so much to do.

I'm awake. It's my first night without DP for two weeks (he works away but had two weeks home for Xmas) and I always struggle to sleep for the first few nights. Bed feels empty and uncomfortable without him. We've had a tough time this last year and it was so nice to spend some time together finally. Ahh, just feeling sorry for myself really! Many have it might worse!

I'm still bloody awake aswell, my mind can't forget that film, I'm actually feeling tense while I think about it. It wasn't even scary fgs!

I am awake thinking about my lovely dog who has aged massively in the last two weeks. I found a lump in a teat when grooming her today and just can’t switch off. I will take her to the vet, not sure why as I won’t put her through surgery at 14 .

My pooch is having cruciate ligament surgery tomorrow. He is at the vets tonight.

I'm stressing about his recovery.

Ds 1 also woke me up with leg pains around midnight and ds 2 who is 8 weeks will not settle tonight! Possibly the worst night I've had with him since coming home from hospital, lots of coffee needed 😳

I managed an hours sleep between 1-2am, given up now as youngest DC back at school today and I need to get him up at 7.30.

I've got severe back pain from bastard spondylosis which won't let me get into a pain free position to sleep. The only time I'm not in pain is if I'm walking .

SN DS was also downstairs at 3.30am which is what made me have to come down, still awake at 5.00am, as his routine is out of whack and he is stressed about going back to college.

So much for starting back at the gym today!

I woke up 3.42 and couldn't get back to sleep because DH was breathing (I fall asleep before he comes to bed) and because the headlice are still crawling about, if not actually biting, and it tickles.
