I have been v run down recently (sorry to be so self indulgent, but background) and this morning when little bear decided he was going to play downstairs I said fine, but mummy needs to sleep, you must let mummy sleep.
I crawled back under the duvet on the sofa. Snooze for ten minutes...
'muuuuum, where's my pink motorbike?'
'Mummy is having a sleep, I'll look for it later.' Ten minutes pass.
'Muuuuum, where is the remote?'
'Mummy is having a sleep. You had the remote last, is it on the chair?' It was. Another ten minutes passed.
'muuuuum.'
So I am grumpy from tiredness, grumpy because of little bear's determination to be bouncy, grumpy because the five minutes I wanted to browse the forums (and it was five minutes only) were similarly punctuated, and completely ready to sulk. This is not a grown up position, and I am doing my best to be a big girl, but my best is not currently v good. Being called smelly pants by little bear didn't improve my mood (he had a disciplinary tickle).
And evil cat is sulking about the current lack of fresh chicken.

Sending big hugs - not much else I can offer, except understanding, cos I have been somewhere similar.....
Thank you for the hugs. I think every single mum in the world has been in the same or similar place. Also my darling uncle when he cared for his father forgot what regular sleep was. Embarassingly, still grumpy. Feel the need to grow up. WS x
Sybil I'd be grumpy trying to sleep on a sofa every night.Maybe you should consider purchasing a bed settee and then you might get a decent nights sleep.There isn't beatification for motherhood you know we all just struggle through trying to do the best we can and hope that things turn out well in the end.You are a fabulous mother and you just need to accept that
