Why do I do this

Lighthearted, promise I'm not being miserable. For the first time in months, my youngest DD has started falling asleep quite early which means I can finally get some good sleep which is LONG overdue. So please tell me why I am sitting on the sofa and looking at pointless things online at 12:44am?

My kids aren't even home. I'm not on a night shift.

I'm also looking at pointless shit online 😁

I have no kids, have been tired for 3 days and I have work tomorrow. And I am also on the internet for no good reason. 😬

IneedcoffeeinanIV · 23/06/2023 00:49

Why are we doing this to ourselves?! Tomorrow I know for a fact I'll be livid at myself but currently I'm just thinking 'Oh well that's tomorrows problem'

I'm up at 6, working all day and have a team meal to attend straight after so I am excited to see how long my social side can last. I give it until 9am at the latest

I'm justifying it. I don't have an alarm tomorrow

(Im also laid up with a uti and chest infection) so have dozed somewhat today.

Im scrolling for wedding hints and ideas. Evening though all of the wedding in planned and booked!

Me too

Doing the same...I promised myself I would go to sleep at a reasonable time earlier in the evening 😂

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! Also I have been doing the same with my wedding, all sorted but now I'm looking at so many alternatives for absolutely no reason

I'm very glad it's not just me. I could be tucked up sleeping which sounds like a dream but I just don't want to move yet

@IneedcoffeeinanIV

Not entirely sure what I'll do with my time once the day is done 😂

TulipTuesday · 23/06/2023 00:51

Me too

Haha, this 100%. I did loads of housework, prepped the kids for nursery and school and then had a nice shower. Then my plan or downtime was scuppered by a night feed so I think I deserve to do nothing (albeit it regretting it as I know work is going to be horrendously busy tomorrow)

Plan a fake one after, just so you can keep busy

Honeymoon is planned for the day after! That'll keep me busy!

Oh exciting! Are you going anywhere nice? (Not that anywhere wouldn't be)

Mexico for ten days!

Wedding isn't until sept 2024! We have a holiday. Someone else's abroad stag and hen. Then their wedding then are own tag and hens before the wedding actually comes around though! 2024 will be expensive!

IneedcoffeeinanIV · 23/06/2023 01:03

That sounds incredible! Minus all the money 2024 will take from you. We're postponing our honeymoon until the youngest is a little older, I'll probably (hopefully) feel less guilty about it. Thankfully we are still having a night away the day after, gives me a night to dramatically cry about feeling old as I am now a Wife

Yes this is me and it's 100% because it's when I feel like I can relax without anyone asking anything of me except the cats who want fed if they hear me get up for a pee

mrsneate · 23/06/2023 01:29

Now I'm hungry 😂
