Anyone having a worse night than me?

[zigahzigah]

Very lighthearted, I know there will be people having a worse night than me.

Daughters birthday today, I have been at trampoline park and then out for dinner with her and her two friends who are staying the night.

I have sat from 5 pm till 12 am doing a rough draft of a 1500 word essay (so not a lot but a lot to get done in that time) with constant interruptions (to be expected I suppose).

One of the girls is sleeping in my daughters bed whilst the other two are downstairs. I finally shut my laptop and said good night. Finally lay in bed and up they come requesting a pizza. Back down to do that.

Living room, kitchen and daughters room is an absolute bomb site after I had a cleaner in on Friday so it was sitting all nice. Now laying in bed and cannot sleep.

Roll on 10 am pick up time tomorrow morning. My daughter is going to her dads then too.

Then I will clean and try and do another draft of my essay. Promised myself if I did draft tonight I could have some wine tomorrow afternoon, it is the ONLY thing keeping me going tonight.

Anyone else's Saturday night so shit?

My night has been awful. I was up from 4AM on Friday night/Saturday morning because my OH is away for the weekend and he usually gets up with our dogs so I got up instead so he could get enough sleep.

with the help of my wonderful mother I coped through all of Saturday with my 3 dogs and 2 children under 5. My youngest napped from about 3PM until 6PM which meant he didn’t go to sleep until 10PM. I ended up a with a bagel for dinner 😭

my youngest dog wouldn’t settle in the crate as normal so I went to let her out and give her access to the kitchen, she still whined so next time I went to check on her she had severe diarrhoea all over the kitchen 😩 my other half isn’t home until 10PM tomorrow and I’m probably going to have to call the vet as she’s not had all her jabs yet but want to rule out catching anything from my other two who seem otherwise healthy 😕

so overall bad night.. worse in a long time

this is a terrible combination of things! I hope you sleep soon.

if anyone is interested, I just manage to start to drift off at 3am when sleepover girl 1 has thrown up again. So now I try to get back to sleep… again. I’ve had two hours so far tonight. Also running out of sheets so have put a book wash on!

It was you @georgarina i meant to say - that sounds tough!

My eldest boy (20) has just come in at 2:45am and was obviously drunk and had hiccups. He tried to quietly come upstairs to his room but was hiccuping and giggling to himself. Glad he's home safe.

My elderly Jack Russell woke up and needed a wee so I went down and let her out and she took agggggggeeeeeesss.

We are both back in bed now and DH is snoring away beside me oblivious. Why do men snore so bad? I'm tempted to move to the spare room.

@lovelilies
I don't want to panic you but tummy pain that suddenly goes away is a sign of appendicitis.

It's no use now @HighlandPony but when you do get some milk put some in an ice cube tray and freeze. For drinks you can drop a milk cube in and it melts almost instantly.

On a weekend away in a caravan in North Devon. DD (11) has been emotional about food because of her coeliac disease and lack of options for eating out. The light switch in DS's room broke at bed time and gave me a small electric shock. DS freaked out but I calmed him down and we all went to sleep but now I'm awake worrying that he will forget and wake up and touch the light switch. So I can't sleep.

STBXH came over to see the kids last night. He pissed me off with his stupidity, yet again and reminded me why we are separated.

Was feeling wound up by him and didn't go to sleep until midnight as just couldn't relax and switch off.

Have just woken up and put my hand in something... one of the cats has thrown up on my bed

I'm awake with 4yo non verbal autistic dc, who has awful cough and fever (hello, covid, yay).

Ah thanks, you too - hope she feels better soon!

Just washed my hair and did my nails so not a total waste being awake...will hopefully get an hour before morning

First night for new puppy in the house. Apparently 3.30 is playtime now she's stopped howling.
I can forgive her as she's so cute.

My best friend died

Is he back? What a worry for you.

So sorry x

@bettbburg My best friend died in August of pancreatic cancer. So I know how you're feeling. I can't even say her name out loud yet without crying. Big hugs to you.

Grumpy customers, infected leg from a cat scratch and have to do laundry yet (and fold about two weeks worth)! I had a whole bag of diretos for dinner

@Yayasisterhood that sounds awful, poor you!!! I'd have been straight on the phone to the parents to come and collect the first sick 😂
Insomnia here.... but gives me a good excuse to browse the AIBU boards 😁

I think I can maybe compete!
Baby has been hard to settle, went to a friend's house with the baby for dinner, her baby was asleep, mine was absolutely not.
We got home, house has been transformed into a tip.
Baby has been up every hour on the hour for a feed, and a bit of a scream into his mattress.
I've had precisely 1 hours sleep and I'm due to be up in an hour to get ready for a family day out.
The heating was turned up this evening, DH conveniently told me that either the thermostat was broken or the actual heating was playing up. Too tired to care, but the heating has been on since about 11pm. Its very very warm! Too warm!

And picking up DS hourly has meant that my sciatica is already v painful. I've taken paracetamol, cannot take ibuprofen and cannot take anything that could potentially become addictive)
And my duvet cover is covered in dog slob er, he locks the duvet.always on my side

I had a rare night out. It was with my daughters and I was so looking forward to it. One of them clearly didn't want to be there and had a face like a slapped arse most of the night. (She didn't have to come the night out was planned by me and other daughter) we ended up going home at 1030. Feeling sorry for my self that I don't have friends to go out with and I was really excited about this night as I go out maybe once or twice a year.

@AppleTrousers hugs to you.
I just found out.

I had years of this. Until we moved.

The best was a nasty divorce costing tens of thousands and then having been a total toss pot over every other weekend contact he told me how much he missed me and how he wanted to come back and how much simpler his life was married. And now poor little man child went home and had no friends and the house was quiet, 😜that night I couldn’t sleep for chuckling 🤭

I’ll play had to take 9 year old home from sporting stuff this morning as he didn’t feel well. I’d driven 90 minutes to get to the match. It was right on the beach so had packed up a whole day of picnic and stuff to do after - literally filled the car up. Not his fault. Came back he had a temperature of 40 and wanted me next to him constantly. I’ve been like this since about 1 pm yesterday. He wakes every hour and I check his temperature and dose up with calpol etc within limits. Temperature is coming down but I cannot sleep as I’m in Mum Doctor mode. He won’t sleep in his bed - fine but also the dogs won’t leave him at all and as always when someone is Ill they stand super close to that person so I have him clinging to me like a limit and a huge Labradors curled up on the bed just below his feet across the bottom of my bed keeping guard

Currently feeding DS. Woke up at 3.30am to him happily kicking the bottom of his next to me cot...and a strong smell of poo. Checked him and his nappy had leaked - went through his vest, baby gro, and his bedding. Woke DH up so he could sort the bedding while I dealt with DS.

One hour later, finally put DS back in his cot after a clothing change, bedding change and a big feed. Took me ages to drop off.

He woke up crying 45mins later so here I am giving him another feed and hoping I'll be able to get back to sleep or if this is me done for the night.

Hae been up on and off since about 1 AM as the dog keeps barking. He has doggy dementia and gets separation anxiety but it is getting worse. I think it might be time 😢

Catastrophic argument.not slept as today I don’t no how it can be ok.and by the end of today things will have only got worse with the consequences and pain for all.
so now say dreading and thinking I can’t breathe.and how to get through.

Woke up at, I think it was 2:50 as my OH came back to bed (was getting a drink if I remember correctly), I then woke back up at almost 4 as I needed my painkillers.

Having taken codeine and on the coffee, I feel pleasantly light headed. Just sorting out in my fogged up head if I am painting DS2 bedroom ceiling first today, or the kitchen wall.

We've had our first child free weekend in 20 years. DS1 is at Uni and DS2 off on a camp. It's lovely and quiet here, until the unwashed 15 year old gets back later.

Did he get in? My ds17 got in at 1.30. I know how difficult it is waiting. Last week I woke up at 3am and saw he hadn't left me a msg that he was home, fretted for half an hour, called him (phone off), eventually got up and he was asleep in his bed. 🙄
