For God sake I managed to get all the kids to sleep on my own as the hubster is out at shooting practice and I feel amazing.
My plan was to then wash baby bottles, sterilise them and get some shut eye on the sofa till Hollie decides to wake up again!
I was singing a little victory song until I walked into the living room to see giganta spider has returned. The dyson wasn't quick enough to vacuum it up and the bloody thing was so speedy. Evalyn then woke up and wanted to cuddle on the sofa, so we sat down and I was routing through my changing bag when out literally jumped the bloody spider.
Ffs I set the cat on it but buzz wasn't quick enough and I now can't nap till I know the little bugger isn't going to eat me in my sleep.
Where's the justice, I have sleeping kids but I'm wide awake on spider watch!!!

So what idiot thinks it's a good idea to write a blog about not sleeping. I am honestly deluded and a bit of a fool for thinking it was actually possible to achieve such lofty parenting feats when in such a shit headspace!
Well I'm now on child number 3 so have begun on the road of no sleep again. Not only do I lack sleep I am pushed daily to my patience limits with all the bloody bickering that goes on between my 4 and 3 year old!!
On a slightly different tact, the other day I went to a friend's wedding who I haven't seen in a long time. His mum was there and came up to me and the hubster, she started rubbing my tum and asking when it was due. Oh my god - that's right that awful thing that you hear about happening to other people happened to me. So what grown up stance did I take!?! I told her I'd had the baby 4 months ago then turned on my heels, ran to the loo and had a little cry!
Wah - since having Hollie I've felt pooped about all the weight I've put on but Ive tried to chill out about it. Ffs this woman just confirmed my inner voice that constantly moans at me if I try on some new clothes or just simply look in the mirror.
But rather than bottling it up I've talked about it and although it's a bit shit admitting to everyone this has happened I actually feel a bit better. The worst has happened so it can only get better from now on right!?! (Well here's hoping anyway)
Well tonight is going to be pants, poor hollie is really really snotty and full of cold. Every time I try to lie her down she cries, then wails like a banshee and starts coughing on her snot. I shall have another night sleeping upright on the sofa trying to help hollie not choke!
In addition I suspect my middle child jack will wake up and demand something of me. Last night the Lego aeroplane he went to bed with had broken. So at 1am I was rebuilding said plane so he would go back to sleep!
Although sleep is massively a thing of the past for me, it's definitely not so bad with the 3rd child. Although she doesn't sleep perfectly I am more relaxed about it so life definitely feels easier even though it's probably a bit harder!
Right I'm stopping now and gonna resume my upright sleeping position for the night.
Sleep well everyone
Peace xxx
