To think I can't be the only one who is knackered but can't stop scrolling thro MN

I'm beyond drained.
I have had a hectic day getting lose ends sorted. As well as DS off school sick and a two month old baby..
I have just sat down now after a soak and feel a sense of achievement, all the odd jobs done that been putting off since baby born.
Dp is at work, will be home about 2am.. He left at 8am and only popped home for an hour.
And now I'm sat down half asleep but also scrolling thro here, wanting to unwind but also want to crawl into bed and sleep..
Does anyone else do this.. Think ' just 5 more mins' and then ends up being hours on here?

Hell yes. Was trying to read wine glass thread last night with matchsticks propping my eyes open 😴

LineyErgoSum · 05/05/2018 00:00

Yeah ... easily done!

Singlenotsingle · 05/05/2018 00:03

It's addictive

DramaAlpaca · 05/05/2018 00:04

Me too. I really, really need to go to bed...

But I don't have young children at home so will have a lie in tomorrow morning.

I am addicted to sifting and reading through so many posts that relate to me it's scary! However this is my first ever reply to a thread. It's helped me through heartbreak, alcoholic n abusive relationships, no contact, teenage kids...the list goes on.
But the biggest and most important lesson it has taught me, is that...thank god, I'm not the only one..

Me, everyday. I don’t seem to have grown out of that teenage thing of staying awake as long as possible, even though I’m tired. My mind’s always racing though so it’s good to be distracted.

ijustwannadance · 05/05/2018 00:44

Yeh, i'm waiting for baby to fall asleep so I can go to bed. I'm crap at going to bed early though. I'd rather have the lie in than the early night. MN is good to scroll through whilst doing night feeds.

Erm...... yep. Too many nights I do exactly that Blush
Like tonight, get to bed.... I'm still on here. Argh.

KittyVonCatsworth · 05/05/2018 00:48

I made the fatal mistake of having a nana nap earlier so pretty much a member of the wide awake club now. Having a glass of wine and MNing to help me get to sleep. I love MN like that, there’s always someone awake! X

TotHappy · 05/05/2018 00:49

Yes. I'm knackered. It's nearly 1. What the fuck?!

ConfusedWife1234 · 05/05/2018 00:49

Me too lol

ScreamingValenta · 05/05/2018 01:05

Yes. I've had an awful week at work. I want to hold onto that 'it's Friday night on a Bank Holiday Weekend' feeling as long as possible ignoring the fact that Friday night finished over an hour ago

AntiHop · 05/05/2018 01:07

Me. waves

gluteustothemaximus · 05/05/2018 01:17

Erm, yes.

I said 5 minutes about an hour ago...

WidoWanky · 05/05/2018 01:18

Me too! I am not looking forward to tomorrow so am putting off going to bed.

Might get the kindle out in a min. Save the phone charge for the morning.

ConfusedWife1234 · 05/05/2018 01:28

I wonder how many answers this thread will have the next morning.

seven201 · 05/05/2018 01:42
