On Crap Nights

Some nights I can go to bed and just lay there - nothing really playing on my mind, but no matter how tired I feel, I just cannot get to sleep. Other nights I drift off, only to jolt awake, then drift off to jolt awake, ad infinitum.

When Jo isn't around, it's even worse, and when I am hurting, it's becomes even less fun.

Last night, my body was fighting sleep through till the early hours. I was up till gone midnight, and then laying in bed till nearly 3am, awake but exhausted, before finally falling asleep. Only to have no reason what so ever to bolt awake at 4am. I bolted up, awake and completely with it. Still totally knackered, but unable to sleep.

So I got up and watched some cartoons, mature as I am. Then my alarm went off at half six, so I've been doing morning things since then.

I'm cold, tired, aching - but at least it's Friday. Tam is being taken by Jo's mum, Jaysen is going to school, and there's a risk of people coming over this weekend which means I need to work my arse off and clean up this pig sty of a house. On an hour of sleep. Then it's get the boy from school, sort dinner and... well, assuming visitors don't arrive till tomorrow, I might just try to sleep.

I can't stop yawning, my eyes look like piss-holes in the snow, and I am cold all the way through by body, even fully clothed. But the world carries on around me...

Em's way said...

On me way rofl!!! But would it not get a bit crowded :p

Dan said...

Pffft you're only fun-size, you can sleep in the cupboard

Posh Totty said...

Huh!!! how comes she gets an invite and I dont? *sulks*

Dan said...

She offered me sexual favours in a private message... Now unless you can make the same offer PLUS more, then the job is yours.

Posh Totty said...

You may need to explaine to me what the plus more part is before I agree to anything ;o)

Em's way said...

SSssssh don't tell everyone, they will all want some ;)

Dan said...

Mand, it's up to you to offer - I can't tell you what it is so you can automatically outbuy Em...

And Em, it's hard to keep such things secret... Most people guessed I'm sleeping with everything that moves anyway.


(But don't tell Jo!)

Posh Totty said...

I will make my offers in private so not to give that Em ideas ;o)
