Me, reading for my book club next week. I am a bit behind.

So what happened?

The baby won't sleep tonight. He's been to bed 3 times so far and has been merrily playing with wooden blocks for the past hour. Surely he has to cave and sleep before 3am when DH will take over for a stint? 😭😴

I saw a mouse in the lounge and now too wired to sleep. Hate nice. That, and watched too many Below Deck episodes.

Da l, 5, woke up facing the wall so started crying as he's s a red of the dark. Settled him and he must have woken again and got upset again because the door was in the way (closed, like it always is) so it's now open.
Rearranged my entire upstairs today for the babies and my dust allergy is now horrific, I can't breath throughy nose and my ears feel bunged up

I’m always awake, though have just popped an antihistamine in the hope it will knock me out.

I’m preoccupied with the notion that I may have rheumatoid arthritis. It would explain some things, unforch.

Up with a newborn. She's constipated since taking medication for reflux. Trying to feed her but it's not happening. I'll be up for a while yet 🙄

17CherryTreeLane · 05/07/2020 01:34

Me, my lovely, kind 15 year old DS came home very drunk and has been sick everywhere. I'm staying up to watch him.

Sparklfairy · 05/07/2020 01:35

I had a "lucid nightmare" last night where I knew I was dreaming but could actually feel everything that was happening physically, but I couldn't wake up. Then when I did wake up in my room, weird stuff happened and I realised I was still dreaming. Proper inception style, dream within a dream. I have a headache and a lot on tomorrow but scared to sleep Sad

Oh yikes - as long as he's stopped throwing up he should be ok for sleep.

You'll have a very disgruntled and confused teenager in the morning though! Leave a bucket!

Oh no Cherrytree!

I'm up cos DS2 had a small gathering with five friends and I had to stay up to drive two of them home (no car, they came on bus, no buses at midnight). We all wore masks dw.

Now I've had a glass of wine and feel too awake to sleep!

17CherryTreeLane · 05/07/2020 01:38

He's never done this before, Nd I'm a bit out of my depth! Are you ok op?

LetMeVent · 05/07/2020 01:40

I came on here especially to vent about my own family of crazies. I told a sibling that I have fairly recently split up from a toxic, aggressive and controlling ex who I has stayed with only for the sake of the children (as ludicrous as that sounds now). Her response was that I must have done something to make him aggressive and controlling. Really?! Blaming ME! I have the least supportive family imaginable and can't believe I was stupid enough to discuss personal issues with my sister. She's awful. :(

WinterAndRoughWeather · 05/07/2020 01:43

You’re very kind to look after him CherryTree. When I got into pickles like that my mum’s approach was very much, “that’ll learn ya!”.

HRTRefusal · 05/07/2020 01:46

I popped one at 10:30pm so I hope you have better luck than me.

17CherryTreeLane · 05/07/2020 01:48

Sorry to hear that Letmevent. Do you have friends to support you?
