nursy school called us because DS had been looking up suicide methods.

This was about 3 days before Easter holidays and he had a nasty cold so I kept him off.

Spoke to DS and he explained what was going on.

Need to call them tomorrow. Was a TT Day today.

Awake with a 2mth old who doesn’t want to be put down.

Queen of Wands - thank goodness they realised and let you know.

ethel, it seems a haze now. DP would share some of the load and I'd grab 1-2hrs uninterrupted sleep.

Against every rule in the book I used to fall asleep on the sofa with DD and wake up feeling horribly guilty.

We had help from family so I used to grab sleep in the day time if I could which would help in the evenings.

TheQueenOfWands · 17/04/2018 01:56

Yes. Only DP knows. I've not actually mentioned it to anyone else.

I'm not sure whether to cry pathetically or rip at the school like one of the scary rabbits in Watership Down. I suspect neither is helpful.

I just want to keep him home and safe!!

My mum is also causing me some stress, but that's stress with a small 's'.

I've been on AL from work the last week and sedating myself each night with Night Nurse, watching hippie movies, and smelling incense.

Now I'm back in the cold, harsh reality and I'm just not that into it.

AzamiFalls · 17/04/2018 01:59

I know it's light hearted but..

I'm awake because tomorrow (today?) DP finds out if he still has a job and I'm worrying about what is going to happen after.

starsandstuff · 17/04/2018 11:55

Azami fx for your DP...

Also awake - seem to spend all day knackered and then just can't fall asleep at night

JaceLancs · 17/04/2018 23:41

I’m always on here at this time!
If I went to bed any earlier I would never have any leisure time

cafenoirbiscuit · 17/04/2018 23:50

Me me me - I’m awake. I’m v happy to see this thread. I do most of my mumsnetting in the night. Glad to see I have company!

JessicaJonesJacket · 17/04/2018 23:56

I'm awake. I'm not sure if it's because I'm in pain or if it's because the medication to help with the pain causes insomnia. ..

Copperbonnet · 18/04/2018 00:00

I am, but then it’s only 6pm where I am.

( 28 C and sunny too)

IntelligentYetIndecisive · 18/04/2018 00:04

It's cold, wet, windy and the Eastern European tenants in the dodgy HMO next door have finally stopped roaring at each other.

College tomorrow and I've done no homework. 😳

Janniohlosty123 · 18/04/2018 00:04

I'm awake. I have a shift in 4 hours but hey 😂😂

Millybingbong · 18/04/2018 00:06

I'm awake. I've had a shit day and then I've had a thread in chat which has made me feel even shitter.

And DH had sex with me to cheer me up so now he is snoring and I am awake.

Copperbonnet · 18/04/2018 00:07

Intelligent Sad. Sorry I can’t send you some sunshine for tomorrow.

Imnotacelebgetmeouttahere · 18/04/2018 00:08

starsandstuff · 18/04/2018 00:08

Getting ready to go to bed and the assholes that live next door (to my terraced house) are already shouting at the tops of their voices Angry Idiot boys who have encouraged me to TTC so I can have my revenge via a baby squealing at 2am Grin

Imnotacelebgetmeouttahere · 18/04/2018 00:11

That's quite the revenge plan Grin

Rachbones1992 · 18/04/2018 00:29
