Why do they call it a sleepover??

...........When the little devils hardly sleep and then get up at 5am ha ha !!!!

Well, I survived Laurens first official sleepover ~ it was actually very nice. They were no trouble ~ just little girls, doing little girl things!

They both got up a few times in the night and then decided that they would get up WAYYYYY too early ~ but I managed to convince them that 5am was a little too early for their day to start!
I managed to drift back off for half an hour ~ but come 5.30am ~ I just gave up and got up anyway!

As a result of this ~ there were two very tired little girls today ~ one very tired and slightly grumpy Mummy ~ luckily Dan was his usual happy go lucky self ~ he slept on the pull out bed in my room ~ so was undisturbed by the girls and their antics!

But ~ I know that my girl had a fun time ~ and in the end, that is what matters!

I am sat here now ~ exhausted ~ but with the knowledge that tomorrow I can lie in .......as long as I want to YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
We have to go to the pet shop ~ as our gold fish went to fishy heaven this morning and the black moor fish that we have left (Bubble!!) ~ is swimming around looking very lost and lonely without his little friend ~ so we are off to get him a little fishy friend.....or two!!
Lauren was actually very upset (even though it was Dans fish ~ not hers...) ~ I think a bit of it was just over tiredness and drama tee hee!!

I wanted to thank all of you who left such kind and sweet comments on my post about 'The dark days' ~ it is so nice to know that you are all there for me ~ and your thoughts and words really do mean alot to me. My friends know me so well ~ they have all known me for such a long time and they tend to just nod and agree with me when I am in a funk ha ha !! We all have dark days ~ and I am still not out of the tunnel yet ~ god alone knows what it is ~ I just think that I have reached a point where so much has been sorted ~ I ended a marriage that was destroying my very soul ~ got divorced, moved on ~ lost 6 stone in weight and found some of the 'OLD' me again........now that there is not so much important stuff to focus on and occupy me ~ there are other worries and problems that have reared their heads (no one said life was easy!!).
I think that all I need is time ~ just to get re focused on everything ~ I just need to relax and not panic and worry sooooo much ~ about EVERYTHING (yes, that is easier said than done!).....

Why is it that when you think that all your problems are over ~ a whole new set come along??
I suppose that life would be very boring otherwise!
Anyway ~ best get to bed ~ hope that you all have a wonderful weekend ahead of you.
I will be back tomorrow with some pictures of our new fishy friends......

We have soooooo many sleepovers here at my house - girls are so much easier.

I've missed you - I hope you are okay and all is going good. I have missed reading about your life and need to go back and catch up. I'm sorry I've been away - I'll try to come back really soon.

Have a good weekend - Kellan

Yes Sleepover is abit of an oxymoron eh??
Have a lovely restful sleep tonight.
Glad you survived it all.

You are right there ~ if there was nothing to worry about life indeed would be boring!
But boring for just one day would be nice :o)

Glad the sleepover went well ~ i know it was a long night but well worth it when the little ones have lots of fun. And it's only missed sleep ~ who needs sleep anyway ~ sleeps for wimps!

Looking forward to meeting your new little fish!
Hope Dan's alright.

Love,
Amanda x

when katherine had her first sleep-over, i asked the little girl what she'd like to have for breakfast (expecting her answer to be cereal, donuts, cinnamon toast, etc... easy stuff, you know;). she replied, "miss dani, i'd like to have two eggs over-easy, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and a coke!".
guess what... i got up and cooked, ha!!!
sorry about your fish:( i hope the kids weren't too upset about it.
