to ask what you long to do tonight...

[cjt110]

...when you get home vs what you will be doing?

I want to go, have complete silence and be on my own. Maybe a soak in the bath and some wine then take myself off to bed and sleep in the middle.

What I'll actually do is head home, go to the gym for about half an hour, get in, make tea for the child and manchild, usher child to bed then sponge on the sofa watching crap telly.

[50sQueen]

Thanks. It's not looking good, but let's hope tomorrow proves the doctors wrong .

[Nononononono33]

Would like a full uninterrupted night’s sleep. I won’t have one as I can’t ever seem to do it (literally). I can’t even blame children!

[Hotfootit]

I want to go and join my friends at our regular fortnightly pub evening, but I can't as I couldn't as my regular babysitter has (selfishly) gone to university and DH is abroad this week.
Instead, I have put my lovely kids to bed and am cuddling the dog whilst I mumsnet (I guess it's not really that bad, tbh). Might get myself a gin and watch some TV.

50squeen

I hope you get a good night's sleep and your DH responds well to his treatment.

[ScouseQueen]

Hope things improve for your DH 50squeen

I'd like either a quiet night watching crap TV or a night out. Instead am doing admin things.

[JudgeRulesNutterButter]

50squeen for you and your DH

I would like to be downstairs drinking wine with DH and celebrating our anniversary.

Instead I am sitting in the dark waiting for DS to go the fuck to sleep. And when I do make it down, DH probably won’t want to drink because I think he’s going to log back into work later. Meh.

[Threefaries]

Just seen your post 50s queen. What a leveler. I hope that you do get some sleep and sending you my best wishes.

[gttia]

50s queen, I hope you get some rest x

[himalayansalt]

Oh no 50sQueen! How awful. Where are you now?

[Threefaries]

To drink wine, eat crisps and not be disturbed by anyone. To not be woken several times during the night by small people.

[himalayansalt]

I long to sleep for 7 or 7 and a half hours. I don't think I've done this for 20 years.

[Celticlassie]

I want to sleep all night. But my 1 year old has the cold and has been awake 4-5 times a night for the last few nights and I can't see that changing tonight.

[theredjellybean]

I'd also like to be doing this with dp.. But he's in London and I'm in Cornwall

[theredjellybean]

I want to drink a whole bottle of champagne and eat calorific dinner with no consequences tomorrow

[TheWoollybacksWife]

@50sQueen that sounds like a rough 36 hours . I hope things improve for you soon

[user764329056]

I would love a hot bubble bath, only have a shower and I dream of baths!

[gttia]

I'd like to not talk about a person who is dominating all our time. Cuddle up, eat dinner and laugh.
In reality I may eat and the conversation will follow the same path it does every night

[mancmummy1414]

I would like to: get dressed up, go to a new restaurant in town with DH, drink wine and then go clubbing all night like we used to, then have the whole day in bed tomorrow shagging, only getting out of bed to answer to the takeaway delivery man.
What I’m actually doing: trying to get some food, any food down my child before getting him asleep, cleaning the house, and sitting in front of Eastenders eating a full bar of chocolate.

[callmekitten]

Dream: I want to have a nice warming soup served to me for my dinner. Then I want to sit in the big squishy chair with a package of cookies and watch my favorite movies and surf the 'net until bed time. Would also like to squeeze a pleasant conversation with DD in there somewhere.

Reality: I will make dinner - something which I haven't planned yet. DD will complain about whatever it is and will leave half of it on her plate. 10 minutes after I clean up the dishes, she will complain of being hungry but will refuse to make herself a sandwich. After that, I will take her to Tae Kwon Do class where I will sit and admire her killer moves for an hour and a half. We will then go back home and have a cup of tea and a snack and DD will go off to bed leaving me about 2 minutes to relax before I have to get to bed myself.

[Helpmeltb]

I would like to have a long soak in the bath and an early night.

Reality: 2 kids already been in bed an hour cos they aren't well. I'm about to start working some overtime hours. Will be having a late night.

[RoboticSealpup]

I want to have a few drinks in a nice bar, wear a sexy dress and flirt with my husband. But I'm going to bed at 9 with a toddler who still wants to sleep on top of me and DH is going to bed in the other room, which I haven't slept in since... Actually I've never slept in there!

And still I can't wait to have another baby...

[50sQueen]

I want to snuggle up to my husband. Instead I will be getting in bed alone catching up on 36 hours sleep. The time he's spent being ventilated, sedated in intensive care .

[Teachtolive]

I want to have a takeaway, drink a bottle of wine and slip into a lovely relaxing deep sleep.

What I'll actually do is eat whatever is rustled up and go to bed to prepare for yet another night of breast feeding every 2 hours til dawn.

[JaneEyre70]

I'm finishing DDs tea while DH is truffling on about every minute boring detail about his day. The house is a bombsite after having a fireplace knocked out .....

My dream would involve Tom Hardy in Christian Grey's playroom. Sigh.

[stegosauruslady]

I want to have a couple of glasses of wine and some chocolate by myself while I write in my journal and then read my book. Then DP could turn up for a lovely shag before sleep.

Reality - kids home from school, kids through their homework and reading, made dinner, washed up, one kid out to an activity, then doing bedtimes.

After bedtimes there will be tea, biscuits and shagging.
