To Sleep Perchance to Dream

I have always loved my bed,perhaps a bit too much. And i've always loved a lie-in.
Since having children i've learnt that the lie-in is long gone,i've had perhaps 3 in 3 years and im ok with that,really,i am,really.
But I do really miss being able to look forward to my evening,as a chance to relax,unwind and a restful nights sleep. Kitty,quite simply is a horrendous sleeper. Last night (due to a combination of a snotty nose and too much sugar before bed ) had me up every hour most of the night. I an exhausted and quite frankly hateful today !

Sometimes she sleeps great, and im such an optimist that I presume this means that she WILL get it one day and will be a brilliant sleeper. I do kinda still believe this in my heart of hearts,i think I may have to cast a spell actually.

Until that day,i'll remain knackered and lurching from mild tiredness one day to suicide watch the next.

Bedtime - almost done

Well, the little darlings are almost all tucked up for the night. Gabe's fast asleep and Kittys just falling asleep on the boob as is her custom.

She's such a mardy baby when it comes to bedtime, she has to fall FAST asleep on the boob and I have to place her gently in her cot that way, god forbid I should attempt to place her in her cot asleep but only just, she screams blue murder and wont be consoled! She will however then self-settle when she wakes in the night generally until about 2am when only boob will do.

So different from Gabriel who is a fab sleeper and always sleeps at least 13 hours and more if he can! I think this is the only way that Gabe is a real Callaway like me, that and his obsession with Ice cream. Every other way he is like a mini-Gary.

I can smell that my tea is ready downstairs so I will attempt to gently lay her ladyship in her cot and quietly retreat from the bedroom praying she stays asleep so I can drink white wine and have some adult conversation over Haddock and Chorizo with cherry tomatoes (or 'Chorizo Thing' as it is called in this house) . Fingers crossed.
