Sleep!

Well, sort of. Last night, we decided to go back into the lounge (*gasp* Twice in one day!) and watch a movie. Cellular, written by the same guy that wrote Phone Booth (one of my favorite movies!) is similar in that a guy is stuck on the phone - but instead of being stuck in one place, he has to rush all over the city to save a kidnapped woman. Not quite as gripping as Phonebooth, but still a damn fine film.

Anyways, while we're watching this, Tam flakes out on Jo's lap - who is laying on the sofa - and we think "Great!". Plan of action - Jo sleeps on sofa with Tam, disturbing her as little as possible, and I go to bed. Well, who can argue with that logic. By bedtime I had a migraine coming on, and my lower body was just one lump of pain - which I suspect was due to exhaustion. I hit the sack and flake out. Only to wake up every half an hour to a large empty bed.

But, I slept - that's the key.

Of course, today I feel like I've run a marathon and can hardly keep my eyes open. AND I have a sore throat to boot. Jo didn't sleep very well - she only managed to doze and nap, as Tam kept waking up every half an hour for a little drink of milk, and didn't really settle properly at any point. So now I am struggling to keep my eyes open, Jaysen is being taken to school by Ruth (thank heavens), and Jo is asleep on the sofa.

But Jo has a sore throat too. Place your bets on which of us are ill first!
