    Default Does anyone else want a nap?!

    First day back and just put the 9 month old down for a nap and I feel like I could do with one! Lol
    Got 2 new starters today. The 9 month old and a 20 month old and then later I'll have a hyper 47 month old. I've also got my gym induction tonight Didn't think that through! Lol

    Aw no! Yes am tired too bit of a shock to the system getting up at 7! Was only due to have two this am (and one of them only for the morning) but mum of third Lo rang to ask could I have her for the morning., was gonna go out either to playgroup or just a walk around the shops but won't be worth it if I have one walking as it's pelting down! They are all tired though and I think need to re acclimatise to each other and me so we are just having a free play morning

    Hope ur day goes quickly and Los settle in well.. You Are a barge woman with two new starters in one day!! Fair play!

    Yes please x I woke at 5.30. Thought I could come down at 6 and do some coursework but I had bern down for 5 when ds' s little voice was asking if he could join me. Guess we will both need an early night.

    Lol barge! I can't sleep the night before I have new ones either so last night wasn't fun! Luckily the 9 month old is still napping and the 20 month old is being good so far (fingers crossed!) I don't think I would of had 2 new starters on the same day if they were older or the same age.

    It does always seem that way, also throughout the holidays my own children were up by 7 each day but today I was having to drag them out of bed at 8!

    Braver than me with two new starters on the same day and first day back!

    For the first time in ages I don't feel like I need a nap (which is just as well, for me) but I feel your pain. I've very much enjoyed being able to have a nap during the holidays. At least the gym induction may help you sleep better tonight?!

    I'm shattered slept rubbish last night think it was worrying I wouldn't wake this morning and had a lot going on over weekend. Ive had 2 weeks off. Ds woke at 4 wide awake and it took me till 7 to get him bk to sleep then I had to wake him at 8 for school. One set of mindees were meant to arrive at 8.30 then strolled in at 9.25 not dressed or had breakfast. Everyone's out of routine and a little temperamental and its peeing down and blowing a Gail. Happy Monday everyone

    Yes! First day back after a long time off is hard work! Probably not helped by the fact I decided to finish off all the wine in the house ready for my health drive starting today so I'm feeling a bit fragile!

    My first day back in over a year. Feel like a nap but mostly because everyone is napping and they are giving off sleep vibes and the house is quiet. Really not used to it.
