Oi, you. Why are you awake?

I think I have a wee flu.

My ears hurt, my throat hurts, my nose is blocked. I can't sleep because I can't breath through my nose but breathing through my sore throat dries it out and hurts.

Luckily I can sleep on the sofa tomorrow and not do much.

Why are you awake?

Breastfeeding an 8 day old

I have a 3 week old who is refusing sleep since 12.30. Just ate a chocolate brownie to ease the pain after losing it at a capri sun and the stupid paper straw that doesn't pierce the stupid hole.

My sleep pattern is out of kilter anyway (m.e.) but right now I'm wondering where to accomodate DS2 who has recently separated from his gf and whose alcoholic dad , my exh , has just been admitted to a nursing home with dementia .
DS3 and his many children moved back home recently although for different reasons .
I have run out of rooms ...and storage space !

Fell asleep at 9, bolted awake seemingly up and ready for the day about 20 minutes ago…

Anxiety, mainly because the pharmacy can't get the meds I need, or any of the alternatives, because all suppliers are out of stock. Not having them is going to make me quite poorly and I'm not looking forward to the consequences. It's been going round my head for hours. I've got up to make a cuppa and read for a bit - maybe that will calm my brain down.

Hope the mums on here (assuming it's mums but might be dads, if so I apologise) get their little ones settled soon and get back to some shut-eye.

AlwaysFoldingWashing · 04/07/2024 03:40

My brain doesn't seem to know it should be resting!

Beaverbridge · 04/07/2024 03:41

Staying with DD2 to help with kids in the morning as her partner away with work. Strange bed and surroundings, just had tea and toast. Hope folk feeling ill can get some rest.

It's lunchtime where I am.

Menopausal night-time bladder emptying time! 🙄🤣 Fingers crossed HRT solves this! 🤞🏻

1AngelicFruitCake · 04/07/2024 03:44

Hope anyone I’ll is better soon.

Ive got lots on at work and it’s whirring around my head.

PosingPosture20 · 04/07/2024 03:44

Took ds3 to bed at 7.30pm and got in with him for a quick cuddle.

Woke up at 2am 🤦🏻‍♀️ and that's my nights sleep completed. I'll never get back off now.

It's going to be a lonnnngggg day!

BestIsWest · 04/07/2024 03:46

Election anxiety.
Having a cup of tea and some ginger nuts in bed.

LawrieForShepherdsBoy · 04/07/2024 03:48

Cystitis. Luckily not super bad. Fiddling on phone and necking water.

Janeykat · 04/07/2024 03:50

Feeding my 11 week old daughter. Again. Currenly up 3x a night for an hour each time. I miss sleep :(

mumpenalty · 04/07/2024 03:50

Kids.
2.30am: 6 year old calls out for company. I join her.
2.50am: 2 year old cries out, possibly fell out of bed and then comes looking for me.
2.55am: I return to my bed with 2 year old
3.00am: 6 year old stomps upstairs and demands to get in. DH grudgingly goes off to her bed.
3.10am: both demand water, I go get it
3.15am: 6 year old decides she’d rather be with dad than share me but needs me to go with her.
3.16am: back in bed with 2 year who is now making a fuss
3.46am: 2 year old finally sleep with hand in my top and attached like a limpet. I’m now wide awake.
3.48am: spoke too soon. 2 year old wants water

give me strength!!

Theothername · 04/07/2024 03:51

Horrible mid cycle anxiety. And I’m away so I don’t have my trusty weighted blanket.

Sorry you have a dose op - hot water with a dollop of honey, squeeze of lemon and a little bit of ginger helps and is nicer than it sounds.

Hugs to everyone!
