Weekly Flylady Thread 24th September 2007

pigpen

Toria.. 1am is an early night in here!!! And we are up about half seven.. and I'm usually up during the night.. putting a child back in bed, kickng one out of my bed, loo trips etc I only usually have 4-5 hours sleep.. every few months I will sleep for 36 hours or so.. like a huge catch up.. the bizarre thing is I slept less when I was drinking decaff so I can't even say it is the caffeine.. it is just me!! My mother is the same.. we are just weird..

mumoftwo.. I won't let mine have the link cable for that reason and they argue over the pokemon games at the moment.. but they are all the same!! lol.. and we have about 5 of them.

juliejim.. no I'm just about still intact lol

Aaawwww bless... Tiddles has just come over and asked where all her friends have gone (she means her siblings) I said they have all gone to school and she said but they have left me! .. I might cry!!! love her!

lil_me

I'm going to steal Tiddles, aww how cute!!

School run done, emptied most of car myself, DP just got up, so much for getting up at 8am, he can move that battery himself however weighs a tonne! Coffee then get going! Cuppa anyone ?

Michelle pleased to hear Charlie is better, I'd take tomorrow off too, if DH offering is him saying he needs a break then let him too.

Pigpen I get between 4 and 5 hours because of DS1s erratic sleeping patterns, if he sleeps at all (can do 3 days with no sleep) if I get more I feel shattered, weird isn't it. I can survive without coffee aswell, even more weird. 3am when I got to sleep last night, up at 7am....still alive. My Dad says he doesn't know how I do it as I used to sleep loads as a teen.

pigpen

lil_me.. she is a minx!!! lol totally adorable and bright as a button but so cheeky! She is just doing the who has a willy and who doesn't thing at the moment lol. And you mean you emptied the car OH said he was going to do?? lol After 30 hours of no sleep I tend to be bouncing anyway.. totally past it.

We have to leave in 45 minutes so I am going to have the kitchen almost done by then.. watch me FFFLLLLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for their kind thoughts today, mum is at the vet now with Timmy. he's such a lovely dog, but he's had enough now and it's for the best.

lil_me

If I didn't do it it wouldn't have got done, must vow new car will not get this bad, filled two boxes of crap and then there was the dog guard and boot liner! 7 empty cig boxes which DP left in there, so that's no smoking allowed in the new car, that will teach him!

I am sat here procrastinating, have printed and almost packed ebay sales, need to go to the PO to send them and pop to the shops for bread and fresh supplies. Also need to make a couple of calls which I am not looking forward to.

RIGHT, I'm shattered on my second cup of coffee since 9am (thats ontop of 2 cups of tea between 7-8.30!) and I still need matchsticks for my eyes! BUT I have a mountain of washing to do (and it's chucking it down on and off :mad: ) and deep cleaning to do as well as baking as it's "balley ann" week until OH's transfer to me clears :rolleyes:

:mad: why does nothing ever go smoothly, garage called to say can't have car until well after lunch, it's on disabled tax so they have to go to DVLA office to change it which is 20 odd miles away, but here is the problem, my other car we have cancelled the insurance on from 12 noon! Balls! So will have to drive it there, drop it off, get DP to follow with other car and wait for a call. Well it's either that or drive it there uninsured.
