Me, this morning feeling slightly more human after some breakfast ice-cream.
E woke up at 5:36am on the dot yesterday, like she does most days.
Try as I might, I cannot for the life of me find her alarm clock that wakes her as this ungodly hour to remove the batteries from it. She's hidden it well, the little monkey.
Yesterday morning we really weren't feeling the early wake up call, and we could not wake up all day. This is why it came to be that I ate ice-cream (Vienetta to be precise - because I'm classy and was wanting to channel 1986) at 10am in the morning. Some might say 10am is too early for ice-cream, and perhaps if you rose at the less ungodly hour of 8am perhaps, or 9:30am on a Sunday, as we did in our childless days, then yes, you would be right - 10am is far too early for ice-cream. But when you've been awake for 4.5 hours with a baby that is looking like she might refuse all her naps all day then you might agree that not only is 10am not too early for ice-cream but it is positively the best idea ever. And it was, because I was right, there was no napping to be had in the Red Boots household at all.
E's toy dog felt how we all felt by 12pm:

By 3pm there was still no napping to be had. Then we got to 4:30pm and a massive meltdown was had by E because she was tired. We couldn't put her down for a nap at 4:30pm because then we wouldn't get her back to bed for the evening until midnight, so we managed to keep her awake til 6pm (let us please never talk about the horror of 4:30pm to 6pm yesterday evening ever again).
I have a feeling she's going to wake up earlier and earlier until I'm eating ice-cream at 3am and weighing 40 stone.

It is never too early for ice cream! I eat it before getting in the shower sometimes. And I hear you on the sleep front - I have to wake up at 4:30am every day to get ready for work. It's misery.
ReplyDeletemmmm ice cream. Can't remember the last time I had it but I want some now!

Oh you don't have to justify this to me, I hear ya loud and clear!
ReplyDeleteas someone who is 20 weeks pregnant this is FILLING me with excitement, and excuse to eat icecream before dinner, hurrah!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWait, ice cream isn't a breakfast food? Haha, just kidding. It is. It's an all day food!
ReplyDeleteLady you deserve a bucketful of the stuff! Disturbed sleep however much we love the bambino is rough! I made an ice-cream bomb at Christmas which for reasons I won't go into here, never got eaten, hence over the past week it was my very important job to cut myself a slice every other night and work my way through the beast so I could truly begin Jan 13 detox!Incidentally if ever my hubby and I fall out, the best peace offering I can give him? A vienetta!x
ReplyDeleteEat as much ice cream as you want, you deserve it! I like to tease my kids and say that I haven't had a good nights sleep in 32 years (that's when my son was born) and it's not far from the truth. Hang in there and rest when you can! xxoo
ReplyDeleteVienetta? Awesome! I didn't even know you could still get that stuff!
ReplyDeleteI remember well the horror of getting practically no sleep at all. If ice cream helps, I say go for it!
oh, the sleepless years!! it'll get better, but in the meantime, i'm going to cross my fingers that E sleeps well tonight for ya!!! p.s. i like the logic of eating ice cream in the morning. duh. ;)
ReplyDeleteI will have to try ice cream next time Jonas don't want to nap. But those days are the worst, no napping means no time for you to relax for just a few minutes.
