Day 138

One restless night and I am ready to be labelled a Granny!
I don't know what was wrong with me last night. I just couldn't stay asleep. I think the quilt we have on our bed is too thick for the time of year, and the heat keeps waking me up. We have been saying for a while that we need to change it again for a thinner one. But does either of us do it? No, of course not! We just carry on as before and then moan like mad in the morning, or I do, when I am too tired to get up and get the girls ready. My stint of making my partners lunch whilst preparing all of the breakfasts and my obligatory cup of tea has well and truly ended. It is becoming more and more common for me to kick him out of bed to make the tea, and then rely on him to help rally the girls into action. I wouldn't be surprised if his workplace didn't run a sweepstake on his arrival time everyday.
Even after my morning shower I still felt really grotty. Am I allowed to go for a short nap in the afternoons at my age or is that just the privilege of the retired? Oh and expectant and new Mums as well of course.
I should have gone shopping. It is Monday after all. But I just couldn't face it after the morning school run. Maybe later. I am also supposed to be taking the girls swimming, as part of a fitness and activity drive. I can't see me making that either today. Besides eldest wanted me to help her make a den after her failed attempt yesterday, and she wanted to finish watching the film from last night. maybe I can secretly sleep while they watch that? How old am I again? I must change that quilt pronto otherwise my partner will threaten to send me to the knackers yard!
