Jaded!

Last night was a good night.

We stepped out of character and accepted an invitation to celebrate with friends, staying the night and trying to go with the flow.

I have to admit that when that included not minding that the children were still awake at one this morning and they were flying high on the hyper scale and finding it hard to sleep on the floor, I did consider whether the flow might wash us back home right then.

However, I managed to relax and go with it and we survived. This morning we ( fifteen children and ten adults) went for a bracing walk and then had a fry-up for brunch. And it was fun.

This afternoon I did the only thing that I could think of that would allow me to survive until evening without a nap and took the girls to see the film Hugo. I have to admit I rather liked it.

Now it is eight in the evening and the children are washed and waiting to be tucked up so off I go, and then into bed I will go too.

Because if I don't I will go and have a second supper and that is probably something I should avoid!

Glad you had fun celebrating! I'm impressed that you can stay awake during a movie when that tired! Sleep well :)

I can't sleep during a film, even if I hate it! I can doze in cars and fall asleep in seconds during my lunch break at school but there is something about films that I just have never been able to sleep through!
