I CAN'T GET NO SLEEP......


Used to be a song I listened to very late at night....out somewhere..in a time far far away.

I was up then because I chose to be...I was young, having fun....long time ago.

Anyway,Now I can't get no sleep because the little person doesn't let me!!!!!
It starts off with an extreme resistance to bedtime.

Then comes
"One more drink of water please?????"

Then.........
"I'm hungry."

Then.....
"Can I watch a movie on the laptop?"

Then
"Nooooooo!!!!!...I'm not tired..."

And so on and so forth.

Eventually the little one succumbs to sleep...but there is a catch. It is Only in MY BED!!!!!!!
So the night progresses and I sustain multiple random injuries....kicks to the head,whack's in the face etc etc.

I love my little munchkin so....In the morning all is forgotten,but then so it begins again the next evening.

I know it is probably just a stage...But should I take some kind of firm hand here????

Surely tears before bed cannot be good??????

If anyone out there is reading this what do you do with your strong minded,sleep resistant munchkins?


Peace out....xxxxx

Affirmations


I am BIG into affirmations. I know they work. They so totally do.

An affirmation is something you say to yourself or write down that is positive and good.

The idea is if you repeat it enough you come to believe truly what you are stating,you then feel it and so it comes to be true.

So whatever you are thinking or feeling , even if you are a doubting Thomas just try it.

I've got one for today as an example.

                                            I LOVE MYSELF JUST THE WAY I AM.




No matter what you THINK you look like ,whatever issues you think you have or flaws.JUST SAY IT.
It helps even more if you look in the mirror and say it.

Fake it till you make it.

Chuck out bullshit doubting Thomas and give it a go!

My.First.Post.

What to say? Ohh so much. My life is very busy. I am a mother to a wonderful 3 yr old little girl person.
She is spiritied,feisty.kind,well spoken and funny. Currently we are on our journey together just the two of us and everyday I do the best I can. We are both still alive so I must be doing something right. (dramatic)...
Most days we sit in Sydney traffic each morning and afternoon for aproximately 40mins for the work / daycare pick up drop off routine. The drive is accompanied by the same soundtrack morning and night and that is the Chipmunks Chipwrecked soundtrack at the moment.
A real favourite of my daughters is the Chippettes version of Lady Gaga's Bad romance....oooh la oohh gaga lala ooh gaga...you know how it goes. (if you have a 3yr old)!.
My current favourite is the chipettes version of Destiny Childs I'm a survivor ...yep anyway I digress.
We are Sydney siders, my rent is quite high and I use a lot of petrol driving in circles!!!!!
Any way I've been Inspired to write after discovering "mummy bloggers"!!! A whole new world.
So bear with me as I try to make it pretty...and work out how to upload photo's etc etc.
And maybe one day I'll bump into some of you at IKEA or Toys R US or somewhere similar.........................Ciao for now. A xx
