One of those moods….
Today i’m in one of those moods that could swing either way…i’ve slept really badly the last two nights and had hoped to get at least 5hrs (just to catch up on some of the lost time earlier on) but that didn’t happen.
A few things contributed to this:
1) *** cat decided that it was time to loot the shelves in the laundry at 2:30am.
2) my oldest daughter woke up in the early hours in the morning with a nightmare and i had to go settle her back to sleep which took a good 30 minutes.
Now mind you, i don’t particularly care that the cat loots the shelves..i don’t use it as my wife does the laundry but it did make quite a racket which resulted in me waking up.
My oldest daughter is probably of an age where her imagination runs wild and it’s a parents responsibility to comfort them – so daddy duty it was. the bad side of this was naturally that i had to sleep next to her, in her single bed, which leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of space for an adult (slightly overweight male) together with 6000 teddy bears.
so, no sleep and i’m feeling edgy today.
I don’t want to take my potential bad mood with me home – not fair on the wife, kids and dog (the cat can have it!!), so what do i do to make sure i snap into happy camper mode in 8hrs time?
I think coffee is in order…yes…dubious amounts of ridiculously spiced instant coffee coming up.
