It's Monday morning & we had a terrible night last night! I made the mistake of drinking coke before I went to bed (I knew it wasn't a good idea, but it just tastes SO good!!) which made me keep waking up anyway, then my youngest kid (3) woke up in the night twice briefly which resulted in my wife falling asleep on the couch in his room & me wondering where she'd gone. Then at 4am, my daughter (6) complained of a stomache ache & ended up in our bed - with me on a matress in the spare room which had just been vacated by some friends who were staying over to catch a taxi to the airport at 4.15am (they had just gone!) so then I'm lying there for an hour unable to go back to sleep - no radio to listen to etc & I eventually give up, come downstairs & watch TV which sends me straight off to sleep on the sofa from about 5.30 - until my kids come down at 6.30 to watch CBEEBIES. I give up & go back to my own bed & doze till about 7.30 when we have to get up to start the day! Wow what a night. We have had some pretty rough nights in our 6 1/2 years of parenthood (like the time theye were both sick simultaneously in different rooms!) but that one comes fairly close!
Thank the Lord that this is not normal and that today is my day off.
