YAH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!!!

4.30am?!?! holy crap.

Han gets up at 6am at the moment and I've not been so impressed with that. All I can say is thank god for Barney being on at a stupid hour of the morning and having a TV in my room!

Yeah I'm looking forward to it too cos ayja's been the same... however, i know for her it will be short lived cos i am about to start a run of 5 morning shifts.. meaning they will wake early anyway and get back into the habit..

The suckiest thing is, since i start at 7 am tomorrow morning.. i have to get up even earlier really - i loose out on an hour of sleep so tomorrow will be gruelling, lol. Would have loved to be on night shift tonight - they get to go home an hour early and still get paid for the full 8 hours.

Piper wakes at 4am every day, even if she has been up late the night before. I run my day on lots of coffee if I dont get a morning nana nap

we've been giving the boys dinner and bed time ten minutes earlier each day - so Taine was having his at 4:30 instead of 5, and his bedtime was 5:30 instead of 6, after three days....so tonight he will go to bed at 6:30, then the next day at6:20 until he's back to six o clock. *smiles smugly*. i'm about to do supermum dance....course no actual guarantee this plan will actually be obeyed, but at least i have a plan!

Yeah, i remember talking about that last year to you Emma!

Feck. I completely forgot about the changes it would make to Han's bedtime. She's probably not going to go to bed until 9!!! Argh!!!!

It's also the worst time in the world to lose an hours sleep... just before my essay is due. The world is cruel. So cruel.

I might have been on here while Han was glued to the TV watching the zoo.

My problem was that I had a shower with Han straight after dinner and she was actually easy to dress for once, preventing the struggle that usually tires her out before bed and also ready wayyy before time.

I tried to put her to bed at 7.30pm. She laughed at me. So then I was an extra bad mum and let her out again. (I think she laughed at me some more, but that could have been my imagination.) Gave her some of my dinner. Tried to put her down again. Didn't happen. So then I decided she could have another bottle of milk (to simulate bed time routine) and then she snuggled down and went to bed at 8.30pm. Will try for 15 minutes earlier tomorrow. Damnit.

On the plus side... I have finished most of my referencing tonight. Just have to do another proof read and corrections tomorrow and hand the stupid essay in. Yay!

And Liz - atleast they are due just before and not after... can you imagine trying to do last minute work with a house full of rellies?

We just did Erin's last two feeds of the day half an hour earlier than normal (well, DH actually "did" them) and it seems to have worked ! I can hear Erin stirring now, but hopefully she won't fully wake up for another 15 mins or so

lol i had x all ready for bed so early last night, ready to go to bed between 7 - 7.30. i went off to work, and when i asked dh what time she went to bed he said 8.15!!! i was all ready to get growly with him when he said she had told him "its still daytime, not bedtime" oh crap. not sure how we will work around that one. i thought we could start watching the simpsons on channel 5, and so she has to go to bed when simpsons finish.... worth a try?

Han slept in my bed too.

I went to bed quite late after doing my essay and knew that I would be exhausted if I had to keep putting her back in.

As a result... have to do 'tough mum' tonight. Ah well.. atleast I got my essay in.
