At My House

At my house today we will be taking it very easy. My 4 year old woke at 2:45am and couldn't get back to sleep. This happens every now and then. She listened to a favourite CD... twice. She got into bed with me and booted Dad into her bed. She got up and watched Hooray for Huckle... twice. Finally, the cat vomitted on her when she tried to get her off her lap and the hysterics began... at about 6:30am. I dragged her into my bed and lay with her until she fell asleep. She still is now at 10am!

This would be fine enough but I could not fall asleep myself last night. Was awake still at 12.30 and must have fallen asleep before 1am. It seems I am having some form of midlife crisis. Plagued by questions that buzzed in my head all night... where will we live and bring up the kids? Who will we do it with? Why will we do it? How will we do it? Small questions to be dealing with at midnight on a Sunday!

Anyway, it is a beautiful sunny day and I don't feel like I had 3 hours sleep, yet. I have decided we will make lamingtons today. That was a much easier decision to make than all the others.

UPDATE
Lots of fun and mess made making chocolate and strawberry jelly lamingtons. Followed by "the best tea party ever!"

The questions always start when you can't sleep or have not had enough sleep.....
Good luck with the lamingtons.

Oh Kate, I feel your pain. Can't remember the last time I had a full nights sleep! Those lamingtons will make up for it no doubt:)

I also feel your pain with the sleepless nights - but that sounds like an absolute shocker. I hope you get a better nights sleep tonight.

Lovely to see some photos of your lamingtons added - I am always scared to make lamingtons, they seem hard. Well done.

Thanks for joining in this week. Lou.

Wow, after such a horrible night I can't believe you even contemplated cooking, but I could be projecting there.
