Urgh.
Nearly didn’t post at all today – am just so incredibly, bone achingly tired.

By Muddling Along, on August 22nd, 2011% I’ve tried to write several versions of this but have given up – the words don’t seem to be flowing properly

Is there anything that is quite as divisive within a relationship as the fact (or perception?) that one parenting partner is getting more sleep than the other?
From comparisons of the length of lie ins to the trade off between getting up early with the monsters for a decent afternoon nap, sleep is . . . → Read More: The Friday Rant Club – sleep inequality sucks!
By Muddling Along, on July 26th, 2011% The final few days before a long awaited holiday always seem to be the hardest. There’s still several days of work to complete, packing to be changed from long, scribbled lists into actual things in bags and still the day to day life to get on with.

By Muddling Along, on May 17th, 2011% There were times in my twenties when I thought I really knew what tiredness was.
One week stands up as a pinnacle of awfulness – working 20+ hour days, crying in the shower in the morning with exhaustion but still managing to go out an party on the Saturday night at the School Disco . . . → Read More: You don’t understand tired until you become a parent
By Muddling Along, on January 21st, 2011% Funny how your life changes.
I remember the pre-children days when we could sleep in until nearly lunchtime. When we stayed up late but still got lots of rest.

The hour between 10pm and 11pm is when I should be tucked up in bed but instead is when . . . → Read More: Other people fantasise about sex, me its all about sleep
By hannah, on October 15th, 2010% On the plus side, a couple of nights away with work, being full of cold have meant that Mr Muddling has had to take some of the night time load.
