What’s Happening In Your House?

Hope you’re all having a good Thursday evening so far. I should have done quite a bit of housework today but sadly it remains on my increasingly long to do list! Hey Ho! I have been loving the sun but it doesn’t half show up the dirt & dust lol 🤣 DH is cooking tonight ( yummy sausage pasta). I’m on holiday & feel I’m not making the most of it so will do more over the next few days, weather permitting. Had a nice walk with DH today. DD12 has grabbed a Hot Cross Bun & says that’s all she wants for tea. She’s in her room as usual but I’ve told her she needs a shower before bed. Bit of an oasis on the tv tonight so might catch up with “Bloodlands”. I need to advertise my I Phone 6. Annoyed that I didn’t keep the box as you can charge more.

Kids are in bed, 2 asleep and ds1 is reading something that is making him giggle. I’m on the sofa mumsnetting waiting for DH to get home from work.

DDog asleep next to me on sofa with his raggedy blanket wrapped round him

DS1 in bed either asleep or keeping quiet about it for once (he's recently discovered the game getting out of bed and then charging back giggling madly when start coming up the stairs).

DSD18 is in her room revising with occasional bursts of baby elephant noise, we do not ask.

Me and DH are on the sofa watching anime. I'll probably fall asleep soon, and he'll chase me to bed and then do an hour or so tinkering with work stuff while everyone is off their network and can't be inconvenienced if it breaks.

I suddenly realised at 1:30 am that dd really does only have one pair of school trousers and she hid them in her room. Hoping that I’m not pissing off man downstairs with an emergency wash!

Yesterday evening had sausage, mash and long brocolli for dinner followed by some Kinder chocolate bars. DS had a bath. I booked a bulky waste collection for 3 knackered dining chairs and 1 chicken coop. I tried to find out how both kids Maths Olympiads had gone at school but just got grunts.

Reminded DD and DH its DD's orthodontist tomorrow morning. DS uniform has been washed. I'm watching 90 day fiance. I looked at lidos to see if you can go to them in wetsuits even if they are heated and its April, it appears you can. The wetsuit I ordered for DH arrived as well as his swimming cap. We have a mouse in the house who have named Rodrigo, he's cute but we need to get him out.

I'm awake at 2am after going to sleep at 9pm absolutely shattered. Yesterday was myfirst perky day since covid jab but obviously still not completely 100 percent yet.
NeedyCat is snoring next to me on the bed. Proper Cat is either enjoying having the sofa to himself or out murdering small defenceless animals.

Dd is whimpering in her sleep and I'm worried about her because she only ate half her dinner and half her slice of cake and she NEVER doesn't eat unless she's death's door ill. I hope she isn't ill. Please don't let her be ill.

DS shares a party wall with my bedroom. He keeps flailing around in bed and crashing into it. It's noisy, especially in the wee small hours.

Perhaps if I go to the loo and put a meditation on i can go back to sleep. I need to be rested so I can finish some coursework for my masters. It's due in next week and I want the weekend off.

Is my birthday soon and I don't think DP has done anything for it. Half of me is mentally preparing to be understanding because he's working bloody hard and he's there for me in the little things, but half of me is going to be a bit hurt if he does nothing.
I don't need stuff, just a bit of effort. Birthdays are important to me and he knows this.

I need some water.

Up with 18 week old baby who likes a 2am party 💤

tobee · 19/03/2021 03:23

My sleep pattern is even more all over the place than usual. Had AZ jab on Tuesday and have been kipping at stupid times since.

Also, catching up on sleep still after dropping dd off at A&E the other night. She's still not well and have been keeping her company.

FrenchieMomma · 19/03/2021 03:29

I’m sat in 6 month old DD’s room cuddling her and waiting for her to be asleep enough for me to put her down, which I’ve been trying to do since 1am I woke DP up to watch her so I could make a hot water bottle to warm her cot up and put the dogs out for a wee, they’re all back asleep now. Last night we had homemade fish cakes for dinner and I got an early night because I’m exhausted with non sleeping baby. In the morning I’m meant to be meeting a friend and her baby for a dog walk and at this rate will be having an afternoon nap with the baby!
