10:20pm and my wife has gone to bed after sleeping on sofa. I was drifting off a little after our large tea we made and my two bottles of badger bitter. Four years and we are total lightweights at drinking and even staying awake. My boy must run us ragged. He had a temperature today though so I feel I've been wearing him like a necklace he's been so clingy. He finally ate at half eight and had medicines and went to bed just in time for us to watch tv for an hour. I tried to stay up playing Splinter Cell Conviction but at 10:45pm I too was in bed.
At 3am my boys voice was cheerfully telling me he wanted to come in my bed, I put him back, then again at 3:30 and 4:00 and 4:30, when he said he needed the loo, which is just a taste of things to come when in taking him to the toilet in the night too. At one point as I'm wrestling with him, my says bring me up a fresh water please. She had not helped with him once through the night shift. At 7am it was commercial radio that woke me and my son up coming from my step daughters alarm clock.
So yet again tiredness is going to rule my day and have me in bed early.
