To ask why you are awake?

[hellcarryingahandbag]

Hi all, I’m visiting my grandparents overnight, and I heard Gran coughing so I got up to see if she was OK, and she was asleep by the time I got in to the room she was sleeping in, and I’m now sitting at the kitchen table crocheting and Mumsnetting. What about you?

Woke up by youngest wanting bf now awake as I have grunting snoring oh on one side of me and snortling, snoring child on the other. My mums (snoring) on sofa bed downstairs so can’t even get up for a cup of tea. Send earplugs. Oh woe is me.

I taught myself to knit from a book, but I cannot for the life of me figure out crochet. I've tried YouTube videos, books, and two friends have tried to teach me, but I just can't get it.

I am on night shift on a maternity ward. Everyone is settled and sleeping or feeding their babies. I'll just have a stroll round to see if anyone needs a bit of tea and toast.

Was woken up by DP who was randomly vomiting :(

Lying awake giving up on ever getting sleep 😩 fed baby at 2am and he’s still awake!!! Why! 😭

Feeding baby zzzzz

Nightshift listening to the torrential weather outside and longing for my bed.

Lovely to hear the maternity ward is quiet and happy. Well done to all of you looking after unsettled babies and children

It is really windy here. The trees on the green are making quite a noise. An owl was hooting earlier.
It is 4:38.

My son's Imaginext Bat Cave suddenly started making noises! Has no off button!! Thankfully it has stopped just as randomly as it started...

It's supposed to be really windy with thunderstorms here tomorrow. I love a good storm, but our power tends to go out when it's windy. It happened last week and it got really chilly in the house before they got it fixed.

I’m now eating sweet dreams choc nibbles. How ironic! I bought them yesterday/today/on Friday, to keep in my handbag, and I think I might have a few.

Baby had her MMR yesterday and she's got a temperature, just got her back to sleep and can't sleep myself now.

@Disfordarkchocolate I learned from googling how to do the stitches, then following a pattern.

@steff13 I used to knit years ago, but fell away from it and went back a few times, but the last time, I couldn’t get the hang of it, so I just stopped it and continued crocheting.

I don’t know why I am awake I want to go back to sleep but have to be up in 2 hours.

No idea why but I’m wide awake, no sign of going back to sleep so I might go and do the ironing

There's a walrus in my bed making an horrendous noise so I'm on the settee watching Cities of the Underworld (everything else is teleshopping) and bad driving videos on YouTube. I might remove the walrus and go to bed myself.

I have just finished getting ready for work, will be leaving at 5:15 for a 6am start 😩

Been awake for an hour or so after thinking I heard DD2 cry. It was just the wind. Now I'm awake worrying about money and career. Been freelancing for 4 years now and it's been up and down at best; a struggle really. I just can't seem to get the work in. I don't sleep very well generally because of it. I distract myself with podcasts to get to sleep but it's a terrible habit and now I'm so used to worrying about money and my "career" (ha!) that it's just something that is there in my head night and day 24/7. On the one hand I'm really confident in my ability to do the work, on the other I see jobs ads and think "they won't let me do that part time" or "sounds like a job for someone who didn't take so many stupid risks and end up where I am, having done a bit of everything but not much of anything (specialism wise)".
Feel more wide awake now than I did at 3pm yesterday.

I’m awake because my 13 month old still wakes every couple of hours and feeds. The 3am ish wake is brutal. Takes him forever to go back to sleep, I’m normally busting for a wee and then I can’t get back to sleep myself. Husband is now in with him so I’m hoping to grab an hour of kip!

I'm cleaning. Stressed about my mother visiting for the weekend.

My stepdad once ran his finger through the dust on top of my bookcase and made this face so now I scrub everything.

I'm too short to see the top of my bookcases so never really thought to dust up there... Now I do it every week and wondering what else I should be dusting that I don't typically do.

Feeding 7 month old DD but know she won't go back to sleep once I am done so we are now up for the day

I am in NZ too and the weather is fantastic, lovely hot sunny day with a gentle breeze. Am sat in the garden with a chilled glass of Rose. Hope you all manage to get some sleep.

Lying here wondering how much longer I can put up with my cheater husband living in the house.
The thoughts and rants are constantly with me.
