Not the kids, me! Its 10.22pm as i start typing this, and im still up. When will i ever learn that i need to get to bed earlier. I have absolutely no trouble sleeping once i get to bed. Just seem to have an issue getting off this computer and getting there in the first place. Im such a slow learner. late to bed means less sleep. Early wake ups are then hard, and I promise myself i'll get to bed early that night and then don't.One day i'll get it. Good night kidspotters..... im actually going to bed now.

The title says it all really. Im extremely sleepy today. My body must truely be in 'winter mode' now, as Im finding it harder and harder to get out of bed in the mornings. Its cold, and im all wrapped up snuggly under far too many blankets to mention. who wants to get out of bed then really?I have an alarm set for 6am each weekday morning. Orginally it was set for 6.15, but i kept snoozing it too many times and was rushing to get the kids ready by 7.05, at which time we MUST leave the house in order for my eldest to catch the train to school on time. But 6.15 wasn't allowing me the much needed, wake up and just lay in bed time my body needs before I get up.My lying i

Nobody said being a parent was going to be easy. Trouble with that mantra is, that nobody said that the hard bits would be quite as hard as they are sometimes.Now, I don't for one minute either condone or engage in child abuse in any form, however when kids turn shitsicle in the middle of the night I get an insight into how someone with a spot of post natal depression, sleep deprivation or simply a short fuse could easily turn feral and lose it completely at their child.2am this morning, Pocket dropped her beloved 'Bob' off the side of her bed and cried out for me. A pain in the butt, but never the less I know how ragged old Bob the bunny is her most prized possession in the w

| Sleeping for Daylight savings

With daylight savings starting tomorrow we decided to put the girls to bed 15 minutes earlier last night. They were awake 15 minutes earlier so I is working already. Tonight we are going to put them to bed even earlier. With the girls in bed by 6:30 we won't know what to do.I must remember to put smoke alarm batteries on the shopping list.I have been looking forward to daylight savings as I hope that the girls will sleep a bit later in the morning but then will it make for more of a rush/battle in the mornings?

I don't know what happened in my household last night but no-one got their full quota of sleep. The girls went to bed a 7pm as usual. Hubby popped off to the supermarket and returned at 8pm to find Miss 3 staring out the window at him. I went to bed at my usual 10pm and was woken by hubby coming to bed at midnight declaring he had forgotten he had to start work early in the morning. Miss 19 months does some whimpering at 4am but settles herself just as I get out of my bed.Hubby then goes to the toilet a 6am and returns to bed. The noise wakes the girls so they were up 1/2 an hour earlier than usual (and Mum had to be too).Miss 3 had a big tantrum this morning over the smallest of things

Since we got rid of my daughters dummy day sleeps stopped happening, I then sorted that out by putting her in her sleeping bag for her day sleep like we do at night. That worked for the last couple of months. Now miss clever pants has worked out how to get out of her sleeping bag so no day sleep happens. She still needs it though as she turns into Miss grumpy pants by 4pm and the night routine is hard till dad comes home. I need to try and find the old style safety pin (that's safe) so she cant get out of the sleeping bag. I would love to have any other suggestions, helpful hints so my little Miss almost two keeps up her day sleeps.

When Pocket was born, we couldn't believe our luck. She was the perfect example of a baby. She slept through the night after only a few weeks, exactly what you imagine a baby would do. Trouble is, it didn't stay like that forever. When The Legend was a baby he had reflux rather badly and I was up and down with him all the time. Around the age of one year it started to get better and he started to sleep like a log. That was a long haul. Not as long however, as Pocket's post one year old sleeping habits.I'd take a reflux baby for one year over a night waker for two and a half years any day. You see, Pocket, at the age of three and a half has been to put it bluntly a crap sl

3am. A time when even mothers of newborns can usually find themselves some slumber in between feeds. Not I though. Not last night. Pocket, bless her cotton socks has an awful cough which has been waking her up in the night. Thing is, it doesn't bother her too much, but I hear it, and it's loud, and it goes on and on. You know the kind of cough, the cough which gets stuck there and hack as you might, you just can't seem to get rid of the annoying tickle in your throat. An adult would take a glass of water to bed for such an occasion, but even with a drink bottle in her room, it's a hard concept to grasp for a three and a half year old who is half asleep.So being the caring

Wee Sterling is now nearly 2.Apart from the first few month's adjusting to the whole newborn routine,he has been a brilliant sleeper,well that was up till February this year :(One night he escaped his cot set his alarm off & rode into our room on his trike calling Mummy,Mummy.So up I got & put him back into his cot,he cried for a few minutes & went back to sleep.From that night on wards he escapes his every night,unlike his older brother if I put him in bed with Hubby & I he wont go back to sleep,he just fidgets like crazy,talks & wants to play.So I end up putting him back into his cot,he cries & sometimes goes back to sleep.But more often than not he just escape
