Sory, this is about me, not the children.
Dh is away in china, which, alone, is scaring me as he has never been so far from me before, but in this current terrorism crisis, is even more scary. Also, I have 4 children on my own to care for. Also, after leaving the children with parents this evening, I then have to go and oversee, single-handed, the removal of our possessions from our old home to our new. It will take 2 days and I am nervous about it not going right. Then I have MIL staying with me. Dh not back until Friday evening.
Anyway, last night, I had a terrible night. Firstly couldn't sleep as 2 of my children have coughs. Then I did something I have never done before and it really scared me - more now than at the time - I sleptwalked. I was fumbling around the bedroom, unable to find the way out, didn't know where I was or what I ws doing. had a panic attack before I finally twigged where I was and went back to bed. Then ds3 needed a cuddle. Then I had a scary nightmare (very uncoomon for me to remember dreams at all, and I have even fewer nightmares.) I was being chased by a psychopathic rapist. I woke up, my heart pounding....
I feel really washed out today. Really quite freaked out by my sleepwalking. Does anyone esle sleepwalk? I suppose I did it because I was so stressed. And words of comfort? Anything you can say to make me laugh instead of feeling so freaked out?
