🤎 Man came to fit the bathroom blinds!
🖤 Sneaky 45 minute nap because I wore myself out painting
❤️ Fed everyone, even DD who swore blind she wasn't eating with us then turned up looking hopeful!
🧡 Fixed DH's mask with new elastic. He is going into Actual London tomorrow for a meeting and we have all forgotten how you go about it.

Another night glaring at clock.2 hours try relax myself back to sleep.ive accepted ain't happening now and go faff on MN/alphabetty/Pinterest couple hours then get up

Thanks zoo I’m really pleased. It’s just getting a lot better in the house and it feels like the more I declutter and organise the easier it is to do the next bit. Still a long way to go though. Itching to get on with stuff today but I know I need to conserve energy as lots of phone/online meetings :o and the nursery visit this morning.

Had a much better sleep under my weighted blanket. Problem is I now don’t want to get up 🤣

Tada

Lil zoo went school yesterday but felt rotten and nauseous and consequently didn't eat snack,half lunch or any snack after-school so I'm keeping her home today in hope can keep food going in,and settle gut.tjey break up for half term today

Morning

Sing - you are doing amazing! Weldone!
I would love to see the shelves, as my two are bonding over lego.
Was it easy to put them up?

Zoo- hello! I usually am on Mn at 2.30am for abit just to help to get tired and go sleep.
Fell asleep at 9pm last night and woke up at 12.30pm 🤦‍♀️. I fell asleep at some point.
I have got kids to school just before they close the gates.

Yeah I understand that.

I am on a go slow this morning. Not helped by the teen asking complicated questions about his boundaries... dude let me drink coffee first!

Sorry your sleep is so shit Zoo how is the anemia treatment going? Did you get it resolved in the end?

I am on the whole sleeping ok atm. Odd night of not at all, but otherwise actually waking up feeling pretty rested. Of course I m currently cheating and taking a herbal sleep aid. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

to do
Survive work
stay up to wait for teen to get back from leavers do
Deal with whatever batshit crazy gets thrown at me. - the people have been on top form lately.

I suppose i should throw clothes on and leave for work. I just dont want to today.

Nursery visit done. She’s doing well, they just want to work on her confidence among bigger groups of kids (they see a big difference in how chatty she is on a one to one task). Quick stop at the park after - lovely to sit in the sunshine - and I’m just sitting on a bench again having stopped at tesco while the others went home.

Cagletini’s sleep went all out of whack again since the injecments :o so I’m hoping the lack of actual nursery session today means she won’t need a nap and we can get her back to sleeping at a decent time.

hills mines slowly improving,have see if DD takes tablets to improve hers!
Tada
