On Thursday I decided I needed to see my primary care doctor, I'd been holding off for a while, but the sleepless night finally decided me, even if we don't know what my sleep problems are, when they are that bad, I need help! She didn't have any appointments free for 2 weeks, so I said I'd see a different doctor and they gave me an appointment on ( Read more... )

I don't think this in an achievement, but on Wednesday night for the first time ever, I did not sleep the entire night, despite trying, needless to say I felt awful on Thursday. In an attempt to avoid a repeat, I went to bed around 8pm on Thursday, after almost an hour of not falling asleep, I took a sleeping tablet, which I rarely do, the ones I ( Read more... )

My to do list for Monday never even got started, I slept very badly Sunday night, so I wasn't exactly full of energy, Ada had gymnastics at 11, so I was busy making lunch and doing other things in the house, then during preschool, I wanted to keep Ada awake, so we were very productive doing some shopping that needed to be done, then after we had ( Read more... )

For various reasons the kids end up having late naps, so when Andrew got home and they woke up, we dashed out to the pool, strange thing is, it isn't really that warm, it's probably 16ish, but the pool is heated and the sky was clear and initially we were in direct sun - but it's still warm enough to have a quick dip and run back to the house, we ( Read more... )

Last week wasn't exactly warm, even when the sun came out, there was still a chill in the air, but yesterday turned out to be a glorious day. I went through the gatehouse and noticed the pool had been opened, the official date is 1st May (not that we remembered that), but the necessary work had been done at the weekend (which we didn't know about ( Read more... )
