It’s not for ever, which is just as well, really.

Last night

10.00 pm Bed

11.55 pm Plaintive roar from boys’ bedroom. Rise to quell the boys

2.30 am Return to my own bed.

4.00 am Further plaintive roar from boys’ bedroom. Drag myself into their room and begthem on bended knee to go back to sleep.

5.40 am Hand boys over to my husband and collapse into bed.

6.30 am Princess rises, husband abandons faint hope that he had hitherto entertained of getting back to bed.

7.40 am I rise to greet the day.

And that was a pretty good night. We can remember a lot of what happened. Usually it’s just a blur of rising and collapsing.

    I feel your pain, though thankfully I only see in double at that time in the morning xx

    How awful. The Little Demon sleeps 12 hours a night unbroken. Not sure I could cope with your situation.

    Susan, Minks, DLD, your sympathy is balm to my tired eyelids or something to that effect. Ta.

    Amerly, I’m touched, but you’re not exactly selling it, you realise…
