Wasting the day away

I sit here at 4.29 and wonder where the day has gone. I guess the answer is that a lot of it has gone with me spending time on here.

It has been a productive day - I've almost completed my list of tasks but I have had a lot of time sitting here in between tasks.

I think last night is to blame for the most part and my two adorabl e (and helpfulvm mvmmv - yes. there's one of them now) children. It seems that despite my best intentions of having an early night and catching up on some sleep they had other plans. Sure, they both went to bed okay and were settled by the time I headed to bed a bit before 9 but from 10.15 it was on. Round 1, Miss G - resettled and me back to bed. Round 2, Miss A, towel on wet patch in bed, change of clothes and me back to sleep. Midnight saw me up again and so we continued until about 4.30 am when it seemed that they were both happy to sleep and yet there I lay feeling edgy. Thankfully I did finally sleep but my plan of up to 9 hours of pure bliss sleep was reduced to possibly 6.5 hours of broken sleep, kids in my bed, kids not in my bed etc etc

I don't cope well with broken sleep at the best of times but when I'm 36 weeks pregnant and trying to get as much as I can between doing 74 point turns its even worse. I've just thrown today's plans to the wind and gone with it as much as possible. Unfortunatley Miss G decided to throw any plans of being something other than grumpy to the wind as well and despite being horrendously overtired still managed to reject a morning sleep. Thankfully a bite of lunch and a bit of a play and she finally settled.

Anyway, I have managed to tidy their room, put away washing from last week, remake A's bed (wet TWICE overnight - new record), put through about 7 loads of washing and get them out and tidy the kitchen to an extent. I need to get the washing in again tonight and hopefully put away and then I'll feel more on top. Pity the house is such a mess!

Now I must get on with dinner and tend to Miss G who is AGAIN upset.... I also need to get my head around how busy the next few days are going to be. Tomorrow is work as usual before daddy flies in and then Tuesday is kindy, shopping and other bits and pieces. Wednesday is fully booked now with kindy, then a maternity photo shoot and then my baby shower as well as hubby possibly having a friend over while I'm out. Thursday is kindy again, MW appt, predicted top of 40 degrees and a trip to the pool before Friday comes and hubby flies out again! The weekend sees us going to 2 birthday parties which will be lovely and then we're back to Monday again!

I just hope that this time hubby is home we get to spend more family time. We seem to always be rushing around trying to get things done for us or the house. Hopefully we can get those things out of the way on Tuesday while A is at kindy
