Today I am feeling....

cranky, irritated and very very tired. I have shouted at all and sunder and really, I need to regroup myself here. Center on being a better person. All because I am exhausted and tired - yesterday was extremely hot in our part of the world and last night was terrible. Both the boys woke up, hot and sweaty and of course, L struggled to fall asleep again. Last look I had on my phone was 3:30 - somewhere after that the two of us fell asleep to wake up at about 6 again.Poor kid must be exhausted too - hope he sleeps at school.

We have had two weeks of good sleep with only 2 of the 14 nights not sleep through nights - the last 3 has not been great. Amazing how quickly one grows used to good sleep and how your body (and in my case mind) struggles to re-adjust. Here's hoping this is just a glitch due to the heat mainly and not a new pattern.

  1. I know how you feel. Have also been shouting and irritable since last night. I'm tired and over it. And also, A2 was restless because of the heat also, so we didn't get much sleep which adds to the me feeling.

    Hope your lil man L sleeps good again soon.

  2. There's nothing like poor sleep and heat to mess with my mind and up the irritation levels.
    Hope you can "catch up" sleep tonight.

  3. I'm guessing the glitch is really just due to the heat - I'm struggling to stay asleep now too. Hoping you all get some good sleep soon.

  5. Oh my friend. Sterkte.

    I am sure the heat wave you guys are experiencing has a lot to do with it. We all struggle to sleep when it's that suffocating heat outside.

    Go home and relax in a cool bath with your new book!

  6. Last night was particularly hot. We slept with all the fans on, the windows open, no blankets and it was still unbearable.

    I'm almost positive he had a bad night because of the heat. I'm hoping tonight will be a bit cooler and we can all sleep a bit better xoxox

  8. Oh I'm so so sorry! Yes, I remember how the heat used to sometimes get to me. I think after living here now, if I had to have that heat again, it would be way too hot for me.

    Lots of thoughts and prayers!!!!!

  9. There aren't many things in this world worse than being sleep deprived. I SO get you on this one! When we have had a rough few nights, I really just want to be left alone, else I am sure to bite heads off!

  13. Hi Cat - It has been unbelievably hot in Joburg and Pretoria is always a couple of degrees warmer...Hopefully the heat breaks soon-perhaps we will have some rain...Funny though, in winter we can't wait for summer to come and then we moan it is too hot...Wish we could put the perfect temperature in little bottles to us when we needed...Lots of love

  14. I understand just how you feel. I hope things have settled down there by now and that sleep is happening again. If not, and it is the heat maybe you should invest in an airconditioner,they are not that expensive and well worth a good nights sleep.

  15. Eish... I hear you on this heat.... although I MUCH prefer it to the cold, so will reserve complaints.... The rains will soon come, and then all will be well x

  16. I can relate to your first line of this today. Just feeling withdrawn, left out, too busy, frustrated when things haven't gone the way we planned, this weekend. Hoping for a fresh start tomorrow.

    Hope you got some good rest over the weekend.

  17. Ugh. Sleep deprivation is just torturous. I hope it's going a bit better now?
