No Listening to Rain

It is a rainy day here and was not keen to get out of bed, it was comfy and I was very happy there. Julia came in and woke me up and then I realised that I was never going to sleep in. We have swimming lessons for the girls at 9.30am and I would like to do my aqua aerobics class at 10.30am, and then we are off to visit the girls grandad in hospital, he is fine just recovering from an operation and we are going down to make him feel better about being in hospital.

So a rainy day relaxing at home is not going to happen, we are off out and about. I just hope that the pool has fixed the hot water for showers. Last time the girls told me it was cold, another lady in the change room said the same. I am not going to be happy with having a cold shower after swimming.

Do you like lying in your bed listening to the rain? I do, and like it and even more so when you have magically made yourself super comfortable and just don’t want to leave the magical area of your bed.

I type this now after giving kids their breakfast, which they both finished so that is a miracle unto itself, I have finished some toast and now just finishing my coffee made by my lovely coffee machine.  Kids are watching ABC for Kids and I’m off to give the kitchen a quick tidy before we leave for our big day out.

Then to pack all that is needed, swimmers, towels and changes of clothes.

Have a great day everyone and hope that you are able to lie in and listen the rain.

Sleep In – I Think Not!

Why oh why do kids wake up early when you can sleep in? Today is Sunday and the kids woke at 6.30am. Weekdays, I have to wake them to get both kids ready for school. Doesn’t seem fair does it? It was not a total waste, the twins have a 9.30am swimming class. Yes I know annoying on a Sunday morning but it was the only time I could get. So in a way it was a good thing the girls got up when they did and although I wanted to stay in bed, I got up as I did not want to sleep in and then be late for the lesson.

Does this happen to you? One of my friends from school has this happens a lot. Do kids have timers on them, do they know when their parents want to sleep in? Or is it just a case of being excited about going somewhere like swimming.

Why Can’t Mummy Sleep In?

Drooling over going to bed
Drooling over going to bed

Last night the kids had a late one. There was a free info session about bats and a walk to see if we could spot one, we ended up walking in the dark and it was a nice bush walk. I did not see one myself but the twins decided that they saw ones of all different colours, yellow, pink, blue and so on. I think we might have seen one at a distance but it was hard due to it being dark and the torches I had were for the kids and one decided not to work, and of course they are not that powerful. Next time will need to bring a better torch.

After tucking in the girls for bed time we asked that they allow us to sleep in, if they did get up we suggested that they play quietly in the living room or their bedroom. As you have guessed from the title of this blog post, it was not to be. Mummy was woken by one of the girls to get her breakfast at the early time of 7.30am, I know this is not that early compared to some other kids, however we have had a terrible couple of days and as I am sick and receiving bad news about a mate, a rest was in order.

I was living in hope to get this sleep in and I should have known that it would not happen. I have been walking around today with my eyes hanging out of my head. We took the kids to the Dinosaur Park in Bathurst. This trip to the park will hopefully help with the sleep and not sure on the sleep in but might make it an easier bed time. Usually it is a lot of mucking about and playing, the issue here is that the twins share a bedroom. Hard in a small house (maybe winning the lotto will help us win the money for the new house that will give us more space!)

Do you as a mummy ever get to sleep in? Is it possible? Please tell me how you manage to do this with kids wanting mummy all the time? As I am writing this hubby is reading the bed time story and I am sipping on red wine. Nice and relaxing, and looking forward to falling into bed to get some much needed rest. Maybe hubby can wake up early tomorrow?
