To feel smug AF I've just woken from a solid 13 hour sleep 🤭

I have literally just woken up at 12.30pm after going to bed at 10.00pm last night and now DH is stropping around huffing and puffing like a 14 yr old Kevin n Perry tribute act. We're at our Caravan for the weekend and he went out yesterday afternoon to visit his friends around 4ish, leaving me on my own. (Not that I was bothered by that) I had a lovely evening, walked the dogs, made a lovely pasta salad for myself and had 2 glasses of wine. He text at 9.30 to say he was on his way home what's for supper and I replied I've boiled the kettle, you can have a pot noodle GrinGrin and buggered off to bed. I really couldn't be arsed. I now feel as smug as a smug thing in a world of smugginess as that's the first time in donkey yonks I've had more than 5 or 6 hours uninterrupted sleep. And I don't feel an ounce of guilt for it.... Time for brekkie me thinks.Brew

Jealous. I have never in my life slept that long.

YANBU, that’s an epic sleep, I’m jealous! Is it the change of place that helped?

But why is he in a strop? Because diddums had to make his own tea? Or because you weren’t up this morning to dance attendance to him? Fine for him to leave you all afternoon and evening yesterday though!

womaninthedark · 23/06/2019 13:31

Congratulations! I had 5 hrs 34 mins last night, which is a good hour more than usual.

SnowdropFox · 23/06/2019 13:31

I hate you a little bit haha

AlaskanOilBaron · 23/06/2019 13:32

I salute you. I'm now part of the middle-aged can't-sleep-past-6 club.

Bethiboo40 · 23/06/2019 13:47

I have "nobody gonna break my stride, nobody gonna bring me down oh no!" playing on a loop in my head. I feel like I've conquered the impossible. So DH can go and fk himself I'm not gonna give 2 shits about anything today, I'm having a REAL DAY OFF and only seeing to myself. CakeHalo

May I ask, what is your AIBU?

Queenoftheashes · 23/06/2019 14:04

Jealous. I woke up really early, vomited in my bed and all over floor and then had to wash sheets and clean it all up 😭

blackteasplease · 23/06/2019 14:08

Of course yanbu.

Why on earth would he be in a strop? He's the one who went out without giving you any idea when he was coming back!

RogueV · 23/06/2019 14:10

Jealous

imnotcheryl · 23/06/2019 14:10

Yanbu to sleep. Yabu to be married to a knob.

Mrsjayy · 23/06/2019 14:12

Blankspace4 · 23/06/2019 14:13

@Queenoftheashes are you ok??! Hangover or poorly?!

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 23/06/2019 14:21

I'm really jealous - ive only had 6 hours ish the last couple of nights and I'm waking early stressing about everything I have to do!

Shayne11 · 23/06/2019 14:26

Hahaha Nothing to add but have a lovely (remainder of!) the day.
Good. For. You.

Bethiboo40 · 23/06/2019 14:33

There was a recent thread in which a husband booked an activity for the day and when it was cancelled decided to take the day off anyway. Cue outraged mumsnetters decrying him as childish and irresponsible. Presumably not the same mumsnetters who are replying to your thread?
I do think people can take a day off but your original post sounds full of hate for your partner. Not a nice read though I support your choice to have a day to yourself, just not the nasty undertone to your post.

dottiedodah · 23/06/2019 14:52

Just relish the fact that you had a super long lie in Tee Hee!.DH can just suck it up if he left to have an afternoon with chums!.Your turn for some R and R I think!

Vulpine · 23/06/2019 14:54

I don't like sleeping that long

HavelockVetinari · 23/06/2019 14:56

Ooh, I'm soooooo jealous! (As is every parent of a baby/toddler). Envy

One day my time will come. Although actually I'm thinking about booking myself into Claridges for a night with late check out for my birthday and having ALL the wine and ALL the snacks and a brilliant novel before having ALL the sleep! Grin

Bluerussian · 23/06/2019 15:00

Well done you! I bet it was sheer bliss, my idea of Heaven.

Yeahnahmum · 23/06/2019 15:02

Whahah you are the queen of sleeping! I am beyond jealous. Gimme some Smile

suzy2b · 23/06/2019 15:06

i sleep between 10 and 12 hours every night

DerelictWreck · 23/06/2019 15:36

I have literally just woken up at 12.30pm after going to bed at 10.00pm

Errrr that's 14.5 hours!!! Not 13.

My god I don't think I could ever sleep that long.

Bethiboo40 · 23/06/2019 15:42

mrsmuddlepies, I really am not full of hate and had hoped this had read more tongue in cheek than hateful. I am last to bed in our house usually around midnight and first up in the morning at 5.30. My Granny used to say years ago when I was a teenager "a mother's day starts when she opens her eyes and ends when she closes them" and I would laugh saying "well I don't know what you do all day" Now I've been a mother for 23 years to 3 I can honestly say never a truer word has been spoken. So to be slightly miffed that my DH was huffing around when I woke up passing comment saying "hmmm must be nice" and "well, you must have needed it" and taking the proverbial with me for accomplishing a probable once in 23 years achievement of more than 8 hours uninterrupted sleep (I usually get 5-6 hours but have on occasion slept for 8🤫) and for me to be quite chuffed with myself for once comes across as hateful then you have taken it the wrong way. Sorry.
