morning peeps
Had grand plans for today but feel like !!!!!! and not going to attempty much other than survival.
Not much sleep here last night either, most of it self inflicted as I sat up way too late. Then had to get up with LO at least once,to be honest its a hazy blur. Feeling really low this morning cos of her sleep (or lack thereof).
She's almost 7 months and her night time feeding is totally random. Its doing my head in. She goes to bed 7.30pm ish and some nights has a reasonable feed off me, some nights only a tiny bit.
Some nights she will take a bottle at midnight-ish but she's started refusing that bottle more and more. If she takes that bottle then she usually goes through til 6am, but sometimes not. If she doesn't take that late bottle she wakes for a feed around 3 or 4 I just want her to take the flipping bottles at midnight and then sleep through.
She has 3 massive meals of solids a day.
She has a first thing in the morning feed off me.
She wont feed off me again all day and usually wont take a bottle though sometimes (for no particular re4ason that I can see) she will take it. Even if she takes it it has no bearing on the evening/night.

I can't work out
a) if she really is waking for a feed or if its comfort
b) is she waking out of habit
c) is she waking because her dummy has dropped out

Suggestions for what I should do on a postcard please!

So dont reckon I'll get muhc done today. Got DD swimming this morning and friend coming after school with her boy and twin 1 yo girls.

Good morning,:j :j

A good start here i.e. I was awake early (okay I was awake most of the night)and was able to ralley some of the troups to do some work. DS3 is still in bed though.

DD has done the kitchen except tops of cupboards. She says we did them before we decorated about a month ago! I didn't so have to presume someone else did. DD moving into her own place today so my best helper will be gone!Killer Kitchen - Monday

Morning!

Im in again for this week... up earlier than expected! Was surprised by my OH creeping into my room at 8am this morning! (i live alone remember) Gave him the spare keys back yday (my parents borrowed them about 2 weeks ago when i was sick) and so apparently when he got home this morning to his house after finishing work at 7am he got into bed.... BUT he realised he missed me too much and wanted a cuddle.. so got up and drove here to get into bed with me for a cuddle! How sweet is that?! The big softie!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Problem is it woke me up... so now hes snoring away (will leave him till about 1pm as its his day/night off today) and ive been up pottering... WM is on, dry clothes off maiden and folded, wet clothes from overnight WM load on maiden. Breakfasted... washed and dressed.... just debating popping out the bank while OH sleeps as have a cheque to put in thats nearly a month old now that OHs parents gave me as they wanted to pay for the cot but couldnt get the shops themselves... feel guilty cashing it though - specially with them being ill and only on a pension But know i'll be shouted at if i dont cash it! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Then plan is i *think* visiting FIL in hospital... hes not doing too good OH went yesterday and hes back on oxygen.. his diabetes has suddenly spiralled out of control.. and his blood is too thick and not circulating properly! Hes also really fed up and weak and said hes lost all fight he had as he just wants to be out now! Its his eldest grandaughters 8th bday on friday and he was really looking forward to being out for it.. but now looks unlikely

Anyway will attempt my list at some point too today....

ARGGGHHHH

Thats better :rotfl: Having one of those days, overslept until 7.30 when DD shook me awake and went "Mummy is it Monday today? Am I back at school today?" :rolleyes: The fact she then tells me she's been laying in my bed reading since 7am did not put me in a good mood Chaos here as I ran around trying to get me and her out the door and some paperwork together so HHE didn't happen. Probably won't happen at all today in fact (:mad: ) as I still haven't done any painting in DD's room and I sat down here at 10am (But I've been having a much needed chat to a friend as he's having a time of it ATM so its been worth it!).

Been to the council offices with paperwork regarding housing benefit - they've put it on fast track (10 working days) and also I filled out the form for the school meals & uniform allowance while I was there .

Ex's parents card posted, money from the cash machine gotten, and breakfast/afterschool club request put in to school - DD can start when I need her to but at £1 a time for breakfast club and £5 a time for afterschool club she can wait until I know for sure whats what before going - especially as I'll be claiming the fees back from the government through one or the other benefits

No idea what I'm doing for the rest of the day except heading to DD's room with the magnolia paint, tray and roller, oh and brush. Laters :wave:

Aww, that was really sweet of your OH Johanne! Just a shame it woke you up. Must say i would have got a bit of a fright if it had been me:rotfl:
Sorry to hear your Fil isnt doing so well.

Think i may be having an early lunch, LO is constantly hungry right now! Bit too late for a mid morning snack though, will try and stall her a little:rolleyes:
