I'm in today and glad it's just the living room as DD3 had me up every hour from 3:30am onwards and now DD2 seems to have come down with a cold so probably won't go in to preschool this afternoon. On top of this, DH worked last night and is sleeping upstairs so I can't even go up there and lie down with my girls later.
Will get on with this once I wake up a bit more - at least DD1 is ok and went to school today.
