    Cosmic forces were conspiring to deprive me of my sleep-in today. I was just trying to make it to half 8, but it wasn't meant to be:
    • 6:08: fire alarm chirping every minute due to a low battery
    • 6:44: cats fighting
    • 7:10: kids up early talking a full volume right outside door
    • 8:00: jackhammering from construction site
    • 8:10: wife coughing

    Can anyone beat me? What ruined your sleep-in?

    Alarms usually goes off at 8.10 during the week, I managed to sleep until 8.18 this morning, listened to the second Captains Football podcast then I got up

    8 year old fighting with 6 year old. 6 year old teasing 4 year old. Our bed is indoors trampoline. 6 year old playing twinkle twinkle very loudly on keyboard. 4 year old trying to get poor old puss to do dress-up. 8 year old singing Counting Stars very loudly and badly. 6 year old decides to make breakfast and kitchen now looks like bomb zone.

    I feel like I'm in a bad sitcom most weekend mornings.

    I bet you wouldn't change it for the world though!

    We were woken up at 5.30 with one of the cats hanging out of the door handle to get out of the kitchen and wake us up. Drives us nuts and it eventually woke up our two year old.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    As with most other people, kids.

    Eldest fella wakes up before 6, and I shuffle around like a zombie after him. Doesn't help that I am off work and have been up til all hours playing Destiny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    If this thread tells me anything its that kids are a pain in the hole. Slight hangover for me. Probably roll over a try for a few more hours soon.

    It depends on the person. Some people like going out getting locked every Friday and Saturday night and spending the next day in bed. Fair enough. I did my fair share of it but eventually decided I wanted more to my life

    I really needed a piss.

    Agreed... Too many years going out and ending up in Leggs on lesson street for me and hubby. And sleeping all day sat and Sunday... At least now I feel like I'm actually doing something... Even if I do give out about it...
