Tuesday already? But I've only had.....um, NOT ENOUGH SLEEP!
So, hubby made it to the cricket grand final. Excuse me if i'm repeating myself for the 50th time, this week is a bad one (stupid chronic illness and pain syndromes!). Out of the 4 teams in the semis - all 4 teams made it, only his got through. Typical. But he's worked hard for it. He runs that club sometimes single handedly (i don't care if spell check tells me that's not a word, i just added it to the dictionary - go on, i dare you to look it up!) and he's Mr Competition. It nearly cost us our relationship but we made it through. I'm down to 1% function and am running below empty so the end of the season can't come soon enough for me.
Yesterday I slept until 2.45pm and I hurt so badly everywhere. If you could see the handful of meds i take several times a day (all in one go, i must hold a record or something, surely) you'd be wondering how the hell i could still be in so much pain. I often wonder that myself. Then I remember that I didn't have a nap at all on the weekend and I didn't take my huge magnesium & extra extra doses of B12.
Today I managed to fall asleep on 3 separate occasions during the day. And today is not a Kinder/Day Care day. Mummy guilt - 125% and climbing but as i'm so tired, I won't remember this tomorrow! (seriously, i won't!). And these are the fall asleep mid conversation type things, like a narcoleptic without narcolepsy.
It's funny, one of my GF's, who has 3 kids (my idea of hell, as I struggle with my 1 angel...maybe in another life time) said to me how hard she found it when she had larangitis to keep things together. And the time she went on the biscuit and couldn't move for nearly a week. And being wives/mothers, not sure how it is for everyone else, but things tend to not get done, or slacken off considerably if you're not cracking the whip. Anyway, point of the story, apart from she is exhausted and at the end of her rope from trying to keep everyone else chipper, she said to me - how the hell do you do it? Seriously? I can't even begin to imagine.
I try not to think about it. It's too hard. You just keep going because you can't stop. Oh, and did I mention that I am stubborn. STUBBORN!!! I refuse to give in (although that might be just what i need). And apparently at the moment the body is forcing me to give in. I HATE not having control over when I am awake and asleep! A 3 year olds feet kicking me in the back during the night for the past 2 nights has not been helping either.
Gotta hand it to hubby tonight, he did the dad/mum duties (probably only for an hour or so but it counts because i was unconscious) and when i did wake up from some freakishly bizzare dreams he got me dinner in bed. Even gave me coke in a sippy cup like i asked for. He didn't want me to have my laptop 'because then i'll wake up and not go back to sleep and i need to rest because he can't help me this weekend due to the grandfinal' (seriously.... ok, i guess so) but no amount of anything is going to keep me awakes.
I did achieve one thing yesterday - apart from those pesky house duties i still manage to do.....
I occassionally do some testing (can't be bother spell checking etc tonight, can barely see the screen. Feel free to arrest me grammar nazi's, i could use a week in grammar jail to recover) for a very creative embroidery designer at A creative Medley. www.acreativemedley.com/
Obviously not my 'official' photo but he's so cute and bunny owl fluffy!
Hubby, my dear sweet sleep police, has just come in to take me laptop so I have to give in to sleep again. I DON'T WANNA GO TO SLEEP! Who am I kidding? Of course I want to go to sleep, just want it it happen when I chose it , not when my body decides.
Sweet dreams lovelies xoxxo
I think i took a short cut - feels like i'm already there.
Rock on peeps, rock on!

Shitty crappy poo bugger wee bum!
Don't sew when you're not in the mood for it. 3 broken needles later and 2 hours of my life that I shall never reclaim, all for nothing. Didn't even get to finish watching my movie.
Night night sweeties.
It's not pants off Friday.
I always say to worm 'it's not pants off friday' because you know how 3 year olds love to run around without their pants on? Anyway, they do.
Turns out that friday is in fact 'bra optional friday'. Also shower optional and getting out of your pj's optional. With this new knowledge in hand I decided that I would go to the shops without any make up, not brushing my hair and not changing out of my pj's and see if anyone would know the difference.
You many be shocked to realise that NOBODY even gave me sideways glance. Mind you my pj's consisted of some baggy cropped harem trackies and a t-shirt but I kid you not, I think I may have been better dressed than some people who had gone to effort. (self important much!) Spotlight is having major renovations done, so there were tradies everywhere. Don't guys like beer and boobies?
This is my pj top...
So, the moral of the story is, don't stress about your appearance because nobody really notices if you are still in your pj's, have no make up on, aren't wearing a bra, haven't had a shower or washed you hair! xo
Well, hello there.
I've never done this before. One of my gorgeous friends (she's real, i promise, i just only know her through facebook, but isn't that where most of our friends reside these days) has just started her own blog and it was great so I thought, what the hey, I'm going to give it a go!
The surprising thing is that I've actually given it a go! I have the best intentions in all the world to do things, especially things for others, but i'm lucky to get out of bed in the morning and make it through the day without a nap. No joke. It's now known as 'having an Andy' (daytime napping that is) and I expect that Websters or Collins will be calling me any day now to request my consent to update the definition of 'nap' in their dictionaries!
I know pink can be a bit hard to read, but I so love colour. Especially pink. Which is weird as I used to always wear red, not pink. Pink was my sisters colour but she lives far away and is all professional and such so it's not really an issue anymore. Now that I think about it, most of my clothes are black. I am so not confused.....really, i'm not!
Half the time I'm either so tired i don't know what i'm doing - like I put the kettle in the fridge or I can't remember if I actually went to the toilet so I do it like 3 times in a row before I decide that I must have pee'd only to still be awake 10 mins later wondering if i really did pee and freaking out that i'll pee in my sleep (it hasn't happened yet) so i get up again to pee. Really, it's ridiculous!
So for now, this page might look a bit 'bare' but as i figure it out, probably slowly as the brain just ain't what it used to be (and sometimes I take enough meds to knock out 3 small very cute ponies but i'm still wide awake) it will get more pretty and sparkly! Erm, that is to say, informative and witty!!!
Have a beautiful night and I shall try and sleep around my 2 dogs and 1 cat currently sleeping on my bed. Princess feisty lou lou is bigger than my puppies.
Love and happiness peeps xo
This is my worm showing me how to sleep.... with one of my Un paper dolls that I make. The design is by BeeStitchin' - a very clever lady I know makes all these wonderful designs that send me broke! On a good day I get to sew some of her stuff :)
