So tired (again)

Partly my fault. I went to bed late last night. However if I'd have fell asleep strait away then I would not have felt so bad today. For some reason though I could not settle off to sleep.

I am going to make sure that I go to bed at a decent time. I have been falling asleep at various points when I have sat down.

My youngest cut his hair at nursery. I have been told two things. The teachers told me that it was because his nana told him that she did not like his hair. My son also told me that a boy at nursery had told him that he did not like his hair. I will mention it to the nursery and my partner will talk to his mother about what she says to the wee ones. She might not have done anything this time, but she has commented about his hair before. I am not happy with her as she should keep those opinions to herself. I have told my son that his hair is lovely and that he should not listen to what others say.

Lie in day

Yay it was my lie in day today. though I always end up staying up to a really silly time. It was nearly four in the morning when I crashed.

Though one thing was good which caused my to stay up later. I was chatting to my friend in Canada through Facebook. It has been the first time that we have been able to chat at the same time. Sadly though she is going through a tough time at the moment and I pretty much thing that things will be over between her and her man. It would be really nice if she could find a good man who lives in the same city as her.

Today has gone well. I still have got my cold but thankfully it is not really too bad.

I was even able to get a lot of housework done today. I really seem to have been cooking with gas today. I got the kitchen and living room looking nice. I even cleaned the hall, did a little work in the bathroom and in the wee ones room (I need to properly clean it tomorrow) but it is so nice to see the flat getting clean again after recently it had started to get messy again.


The downside of course was that I did not spend much time with the wee ones as I have been so busy rushing around getting jobs done. I will be able to spend time with them once the jobs have been done.

Saturday - The Lego Incident

When I woke this morning I did not feel great. My voice did not sound good and I needed to take a Lemsip. Thankfully though I felt better quickly...which was a good job after what happened.

I was busy getting a job done when my daughter started moaning at me. I was not sure of what she was saying as I was not really listening to her. When I did listen to her I realized that she had manged to not only put a piece of Lego up her nose but it was now stuck there (not a wise thing to do...bless her)

She was not a happy bunny about that (not surprisingly enough. I tried to get her to blow it out into a tissue but that did not work. I then phoned NHS 247 as I did not want to put something up her nose. They advised me to take her to the hospital.

We were waiting to take her down when I decided to show my partner what she had done. I noticed that the Lego piece was not that far up and after a quick dash to the shop I got a pair of tweezers and managed to get it out.

Bless my wee one as she was so happy that it was out that she was making little excited noises. Hopefully she will not do that again.

So tired

I am so tired today. I am not too bad when I am walking about, however it is when I am sat dwn that I have been getting the challenges.

I have fell asleep a few times today due to tiredness. I must make sure that I get to bed at a decent time.

Not feeling so good

I have not been feeling good today. Even though it was my lie in day I needed to get up in the morning as we got up later than I had planned on (though saying that I did not have an alarm I am very happy that we were not later)

I got a beechams and after that I went back to sleep. I ended up getting up at 12 but it took me a while before I felt better.

A hectic day

Part of it went fine (though I have not got that many jobs done)

It was just when I went to get my eldest from school. The wee ones were messing around, I had to get them to sit still while I filled out a permission form that I had not been told about. We then had nearly got home before I noticed that my youngest son blanket was not with him.

After mush frustration and moaning from the wee ones we eventually got home (we were only a short way from home but it took the longest time to make that distance once the frustration levels were rising rapidly)

i gave us the luxury of five minutes rest before we set off again (adding to their disappointment that not only did my eldest not get to go on the computer but he also missed out on the ice cream van that had just arrived as we were getting ready to leave...cruel mummy that I am)

After more moaning on the way to school we managed to get there in good time. Thank goodness there is a park by the school as I was able to leave them there (which they were happy about) and got and check the school. thankfully after checkling I saw it and after a mad dash to the reception I was able to get it back.

However ironically the blanket went missing again so he had to go to bed without it after all.

Lovely lie in

I had a lovely lie in this morning. I did sleep in a little later than I would have liked but I do not feel too badly for it. I managed to get some reading before I got up though so that is not too bad. I just did not get the time to clear the clothes mountain.

One thing that does bug me is that when I have a lie in, by the time I get into the living room the place looks a mess. It is like all the work that I did yesterday has been undone.

I did see some sad news about one of my friends. She and her husband have split up. It is not too suprising though but still sad to see. Thankfully it has been a good split. Hopefully it stays that way.

Time off

My partner took the wee ones to his mums house today for a good amount of time.

I did not get much time to relax though as I spent much of the time cleaning the living room. I moved the computer desks so I could clean under them. I really cleaned it properly.

Not a great sleep

Even though I got a long sleep it was broken so it was not that great.

Feeling better

Even though I went to bed later than I had hoped it was enough for me to feel better than I did yesterday. I think if I can aim to get at least seven hours sleep a night then that would be good enough.

Need to get to bed earlier

I am getting to bed too late and it is making me really cranky.

I had hoped to be in bed with the lights off by twelve, but as I need a bad it looks like that is not going to happen. I will have to make it half past now. I will have to make sure that happens as I have been really off with the wee ones today. I do not want another day like today as it has not been nice at all. It does not feel nice to be cranky and I know that it does not feel nice to those who are around me as well.

A good thing did happen today though. My partner brought me back a lovely rock from the Angus glen where he went with college. It is so pretty (though sadly he was not able to get it identified)

Getting bad tempered again

I am not getting enough sleep at the moment (my fault for going to be too late) but this morning I was really snippy with the wee ones)

I made sure that I meditated when the twins were at home but even with that I had my moments in the afternoon when I snapped at them. I need to make sure that I get a good sleep.

I am getting better at hula hooping though. It is only my second day at doing it but it is great to notice progress.

So tired

It started as being my fault for going to bed too late, but it ended up being tired through just being so busy during the day. I have done so much walking throughout the day.

My eldest son had a friend come over for a bit. It felt strange as his parents did not know, but they did not seem to be bothered when I took him home. I did not see them but I did not hear anything from them when he went in.

Keeping calm

My wee ones are getitng loud and my youngest son is getting really bad tempered.

I tried today getting close to him and lowering my voice when reasoning with him. It worked. I think I will have to lower my voice all of the time when dealing with him.

Computer working again

My partner had a mess around with my computer and managed to get it working again. I am pleased to get it working again. Now all I need to do is to get it to recognize my second hard drive so that I can get the edited wedding photographs for my friend off.

My partner was a bit miffed that he ordered a new mother board and processor, however I think I will still use them and use the stuff that is now in my computer to build up a third computer for the wee ones to use.

I was so lucky that I got a lie in this morning (very helpful as I went to bed so late) when I got up though I spent most of the day in the bedroom sorting through the pile of stuff on the chair that I had put there yesterday. I cleared the clothes pile, now all I need to do is get rid of the clutter (that is the challenging part)

I have got good news about the wee ones. After having a few accidents with them recently at night time. They did not have any last night. I hope it continues.

Happy Birthday

To my twins. They are five years old today.

They really liked their presents (I eventually found the missing present so my daughter was so happy to get her very own Felix cat)

The tent was well liked and used. Though sadly it also got damaged. The boys ran in and out of it so much that they ripped it. I will have a look at it and see if there is anything that I can do to fix it.

Lie in

I got a treat of a lie in today. My partner told me that I could get a lie in both today and tomorrow. That was a good thing as I ended up staying up too late last night.

I am really getting frustrated at home though at the moment. Lots of things are really getting to me. Though it does not help that I am the only one putting the work into keeping the home clean. I went away for a few hours in the evening for my photography club and I got home to find that not a lot had been done. It feels like I am fighting a never ending battle. I wish that my partner would do more to help when he is at home, but sadly he is more interested in browsing the Internet. He had not picked up the towels that had been used to dry the wee ones after the bath. He had not even emptied the bath. I think I will be spending a fair bit of time cleaning the living room and kitchen before I go to bed.

Visiting friend

I  went to my friends house this morning for the first time since school started back. It was nice to have a relaxing morning for a change. It was also nice to chat to my friend as we do not get the chance to do so very often (what with us both having three children it amske it challenging to find the time)

Waiting for stuff

I do not know what the matter with the post is but nothing seems to be getting delivered at the moment. I am waiting for the last of my sons presents and some DVD's. the4y all should have been delivered by now, but none of the have. I missed a parcel yesterday and I asked for it to be delivered today but that too has not showed up. No doubt it will arrive tomorrow when I am not in to collect it (today would have been good as my partner was off college due to one of the tutors taking a day off)

Back better

After a challenging nights sleep I woke feeling not too bad, but the best thing is that my back did not hurt much at all when I got up. I was so pleased about that as I was not looking forward to struggling to do the school run this morning (the post that I put on Spirit and destiny last night has done some good, thanks to the hope from the others)

I still ache

I must be sleeping in a bad position as when I woke up I was aching so badly. I think a zombie was more agile than I was.

Thankfully I have improved during the day so now I just feel like an old lady. I think I will get up a little earlier in the morning so that I can limber up for the school run. Hopefully my partner will be able to help as well.

It was entertaining when I went to the shops. I had to make sure I was really careful when getting things off the lower shelves. I also had to be careful that I did not overdo things. Thankfully I did neither and by the time I got home I felt fine.

Ow,ow ouchie

My back.

Ow, ow, ow

After deciding that I would take the wee ones the long way to school to avoid the ice, I decided to change my mind in the morning as I did not think it looked that bad. Sadly it was and I fell badly and really hurt my back (It is still aching now)

Thankfully tomorrow is my lie in day so I get to relax.

So tired

I have done so much work recently that I am shattered. Though it does not help that I have not been sleeping well at night.

Cleaning like a woman possesed

I did get a lovely lie in today (I really needed it after how late I worked last night)

Today was  the turn for the kitchen (thankfully the wee ones and let me do my jobs in peace, but it did help that my step daughter was here as well to help)

I cleared the clutter off the sides and cleaned them properly. I need to sort out the clutter corner (the area where the fridge used to be and where all of the bagged clutter is being put) I still need to clean the floor but I will get that done before I go to bed.

I also bagged the stuff from my desk and cleaned it. My desk looks so much better, now all I have to do is make sure that I keep it like it. I will also need to make sure that I sort through and get rid of the stuff that I do not need.

I really am determined to get rid of all of the clutter from my home. I knew that we can make our small home work for us, but we need to be as efficient as possible and ruthless with the possessions and clutter.

Decorations Down

I thought I would leave them up till the fifth. But I decided today that they should come down. It took me a couple of hours to get it all done, but they are all nicely boxed up and ready to go away until later this year.

Sunday 2nd

I had a lovely lie in today. I certainly needed it as I ended up staying up until 4am.

I have discovered a computer game recently that I like to play. It was on offer on Steam so I bought it for me. It only cost £2.80. I ended up playing it all night. It is sucha  fun game to play. Not too difficult at the moment, just fun and very addictive.

Konnichiwa 2011

Ooh the New Year is here. I wonder what will happen this year. I do hope that there is not a repeat of last summer and what happened after.

But the New Year is here and it is time to think about what I hope to achieve from it. I do hope that I am able to get the wee ones to do as I ask without having to get mad with them.

The twins start school this year so I need to make sure that I am well prepared for when they do start.

Today has gone well. thankfully the wee ones did not get up too early (that was a good job as I went to bed late) I in fact went to bed so late that I needed to take a nap in the afternoon.
