After an eventful day finally got the little man into bed (hes full of cold so didnt offer too much resistance) and cooked our "celebration" meal which was everything I expected it to be. Dishwasher loaded and on and chill out time.....wrong. I could not get to sleep, tried half sitting, lying on my left a bit sor, lying on my right a bit sore, lying on my back totally unnatural, sitting bolt upright, and so began another night of no sleep. Even sky tv gets a bit crap once you enter into the wee hours. Hubby woke up at 4 asking why I was still awake and why didnt I go to sleep (the urge to slap was quite strong) and after explaining that I just couldn't he promtly fell straight back to sleep. Must have dropped off after 5 so when the alarm went off it felt like I had only just gone to sleep. Still new day so up and about and then made an executive decision that today was probably not the best day to start back at work, so coffee kids and playhouse disney again.
Unloaded the dish washer and then put the washing machine on and have spent a very nice day with my little one just pottering about and have decided that its quite ok to just potter on some days. Maybe I am getting the hang of this thing....
Spoke to another site member today on the phone and it was lovely to be able to match a name to a voice and she was full of sound advice and information and as she is already into her chemo treatment which is the same kind that I am going to get she answrd a lot of the questions that have ben tearing around inside my head. (thank you).
Well going to try a nice bottle of red tonight see if that helps the old sleep situation. Hope evreyone has a great weekend.
take care love Terri xxx
