Insomnia!

First, hasn't summer gone now! Urgghhh Rain Rain Rain!

Second, thanks to all the people that read and liked my blog, if you have a spare 2 minutes on the toilet or whatever you may want to continue to read my inane pointless babble as my hubby to be puts it!!  He also pointed out then when I start work (school) again my post will read something like:
'Back at school, so much work, so tired, sorry I can't blog anymore'.
He's probably completely right as he knows me so well and what full time teacher would have time to blog anyway?? But until then I will continue!!

Still at least it's still the summer holidays for me, which brings me onto Insomnia! Not the cool track by Faithless but me not being able to sleep.  Unheard of for me and probably most mums and teachers because we are permanently tired.  However, now that I am on school holidays I'm finding I'm actually being able to stay up beyond 9pm!!  The night before last I stayed up to watch Men of Honor with Cuba Gooding Junior and Robert DeNiro - great film, then didn't go to bed till 1AM as I watched Alan Carr Chatty Man. 1AM that's definitely a record for me.  I am loving the school hols!!

But then we come to last night, my lovely girl Heidi decided to wake up at 12.30AM, went in gave her a cuddle and a drink, then still crying at 12.45AM.  Think I've sorted it and she wakes up crying again at 1.30AM.  When she finally drops off I'm bloody wide awake at 2AM but also quite tired.  My hubby to be has to get up at 6AM so I'm lying there eyes wide open staring at the ceiling.  I decide to go to the lounge so I don't disturb him.  I did finally manage to get to sleep on the sofa about 3AM after surfing the Times online on the Ipad.  Now annoying as it was, the thing with being on my summer holidays is; it doesn't matter that I couldn't sleep as I can chill out today!! Well, Heidi did get me up at 8AM but that is still a huge lie in compared to when I'm getting up to go to work (school).  So to those that suffer from Insomnia, I do feel for you.

Coming back to yesterdays Things to Achieve - 2 out of 3 aint bad as they say.  My lovely BFF designed my save the date cards for the Italian wedding and they are WICKED.  I would post a pic but I don't want to spoil it for those people that will shortly be receiving one in the post!!  but once they have gone out I will post a pic as she is really a very talented designer : )
Kind of cleared my hubby to be's wardrobe, didn't clean the kitchen cupboards but did clean the bathroom!

Todays Things to Achieve include:
Cleaning the kitchen cupboards (if I keep writing it, I will soon feel obliged to do it!)
Getting my haircut and coloured this afternoon (long long over due, roots are terrible - I will post a pic of this when it's done!)
Print a sample of my save the dates on paper!
Email everyone for their home addresses (so if you're reading this you can email me yours - thanks!)

Not a huge amount to achieve today but must set achievable goals teachers!

Favourite today is going to be old school sweet - mine has got to be fizzy cola bottles - whats yours?
