I’m up with 2 poorly kids and haven’t been able to get any sleep yet! One of them has already thrown up all over his bed so I’ve had to sort that. Not got any sleep so far and don’t think I will get any. I’m exhausted, would just be nice if there’s anyone who’s awake to chat to, sorry

I’m on a night shift and doing some e-learning, would rather be in bed though 😊

Yep. Had too much coffee. Watching the Empress on Netflix with one eye and browsing SM with the other !

bizzey · 09/10/2022 01:33

Ohh poor things .
What about all climbing in your bed with an audiobook?

KoalaPineapple · 09/10/2022 01:34

I’m feeding my newborn 😂 sorry you’ve got poorly ones! Can you snuggle and get a film on maybe?

bizzey · 09/10/2022 01:34

Might help you all drift off for a bit ?

Lots of extra towels on the bed in case of accidents .

I'm awake as my daughter is at a sleepover and I struggle to sleep when she's not here. Stupid I know

SmotYci · 09/10/2022 01:36

I'm awake too! Thinking too much and can't sleep!

Elleherd · 09/10/2022 01:37

I'm in hospital full of drugs to try and stop me projectile vomiting and worse across the bed which I and HCA's have already repeatedly changed between us.

I'm so sorry, so aware of not having to do every part of it myself, or wash it after.

Elleherd · 09/10/2022 01:38

How old are they?

RightsHoarder · 09/10/2022 01:38

Just watched Doctor Sleep - sequel to the Shining, sort of. That hasn't helped the sleep situation.

MissingNashville · 09/10/2022 01:40

I’m awake, waiting for a text to pick my partner up, hopefully soon.

It’s tough when your children are poorly, I remember those days when all you want to do is sleep. Do you have anyone to help out tomorrow
so you can get some sleep?

Night owl. Always awake!

stillvicarinatutu · 09/10/2022 01:41

Awhile when the kids are ill.

I live alone now and only me to sort !

stillvicarinatutu · 09/10/2022 01:43

I'm watching g the OA on Netflix and about to have a sausage sandwich.

I actually cooked langoustines earlier but the fact they had eyes and legs freaked me out a bit .

I'm hungry again now . Lots of prep for not much meat !

Hmm.... nothing to do with shift work then? Grin

stillvicarinatutu · 09/10/2022 01:47

Shift work knackered the body clock !

Elleherd · 09/10/2022 01:48

I'm sure it did.

Barnowl25 · 09/10/2022 01:50

I'm awake. On an overnight at work on an island with only 8 other people who are in a different building. Beautiful moon. But just can't settle. Hope the kids are managing to get some sleep.

A little story to bring a smile to your faces and because I am so excited at the turn of events....

Young adult DS's birthday soon.
He was given a teddy on the day he was born from my mum .

Teddy has not faired well into adulthood!

What was a big teddy has now disintegrated to 2 components of just head and legs 😅 thiugh is still lovingly kept on the bed.

Recently ,ds asked if I had a picture of what teddy looked like full size /new

I said maybe but I wasn't looking just now.

Well tonight I found 2 lovely photos of ds and teddy in all his glory !!

I am going to get it enlarged and framed for his birthday present...
cos I am a big sop !

So excited to give it to him 😂

stillvicarinatutu · 09/10/2022 01:52

There's a meteor shower imminent. I saw a few shooting stars the other night . Might go out and see how clear it is .

popo50 · 09/10/2022 01:53

I'm awake working nightshift. Struggling big time to stay awake and already 4 coffees in and a bottle of coke.
Hope your wee ones (and you) get some sleep soon
