for us to all still be in our PJ's here and MN when I should be doing

[shimmerysilverghosty]

worthy half term activities with my dc.

Oh well it is only the first day after all and I did need help with a bit of a dilemma on here. Can't seem to get off and get started though.

Quite agree. Must shower soon, need another tea first though.

yanbu - my two are onto dvd number 2, whilst I MN and doze on couch. Im my defence I am 37 weeks pg and was up all last night with feckin heartburn and no gaviscon.

I may get them dressed later and venture to the park if the weather stays sunny, but don't hold me to it

Oh I do too, unfortunately I forgot to take my alarm off this morning so was still woken up at 7.30 am [hangry]. I think I deserve a morning slobbing around to get over that!

so how old are they before this is possible?

its half term - relax and enjoy

Mine are 7 and 4, only recently become possible. In fact life has suddenly got A LOT easier in the past couple of months, in terms of practical child care stuff that is.

Right, off to count down the days
(I ahve a 3yo and a 1yo)
3 years or so
I should get a full nights sleep
I should be able to cope during the day
Roll on October 2013

Well I have certainly earned this time. I haven't had a lie in for 7 YEARS! Ex didn't believe men should get up with kids, charmer that he was. Luckily mine always slept well through the night, I feel your pain Shriiieeek.

Mine are back at school now (Scottish half term was a couple of weeks back), but dh took the morning off this morning, so he walked the dog and made sure the dses got off to school whilst I stayed firmly under the duvet.

I am now up, but still in my nightshirt and snuggly wuggly dressing gown (what a treat for the windowcleaner - lol). I will shower and get dressed later, but my first definite appointment in choir practice at half past seven tonight, so I've got time to spare!

Well, my DH brought me a cup of coffee in bed at 7.15, and proudly announced that he'd done the packed lunches. Then said DD was refusing to get out of bed.

So, we are all up and dressed. And he has sheepishly sloped off to work.

I'm dressed but only because dd2's friend was being dropped off! Big girls dressed but dd3 still in pjs I haver very bad period cramps so I need to keep still

I was up at 7:30 with 18mo DD, but she went back to bed at 10:30 and I had a lovely soak in the bath (Don't have a shower :( ) and now feel very chilled out listening to classical music, while waiting for all hell to break loose again her to wake up.

I've had a lovely bath and am now half dressed (top half) while I have a cup if tea and feed ds. No need to be anywhere til 2 so I'm not rushing with the other half.

Pyjama day here to. DS1 playing games and TV DS2 Only 2.3mo needing a bit more amusement but still happy bimbling around the flat.

Me pretending to tidy up but MN keeps calling

been up since 6am sadly. ds is dressed and i'm pretend dressed as in jogging bottoms and jumpers - only due to coffee crisis and shop run first thing otherwise we'd probably be in pj's.

i'm looking forward to this lying in business.

Dd snuffly, feeding and coughing all night. Co-sleeping so no rest for either of us. Have cancelled day and am on sofa with snuffly, feedy, sleepy person and ironing is NOT doing itself. When did high powered career become this?!

Any advice on decongesting 5mo very helpful at this point. (or on getting ironing to do itself) :)
