Sleep.

The 48 hour gastro bug hit our home on Friday afternoon :( And boy oh boy did I have my work cut out for me!! Once the bug hits you count down the 24 hours knowing its usually gone... however once in a blue moon the 48hour rears its UGLY head! Ahhhhhh....
I only got two and a half hours sleep on Friday night which I could handle, knowing that I could probably get a afternoon kip during the day... but no... then Saturday night came and once again less than 4 hours sleep. With errands to run on Sunday, once again, no chance for a quick kip... Sunday night I passed out at 9:30pm and when Ben woke up at 1:15am for a feed (which NEVER happens - He usually sleeps until 3:30am at least) I just about cried... when 3:30am came along and I still hadn't gone back to sleep, I had had ENOUGH! It was time for Boyd to wake up and take over. I had hit my limit. By 4am I was back to sleep!!!

The weekend had come and gone in a flash and I had spent it, up to my elbows in vomit and had done endless loads of washing.

My darling husband took the day off of work today so I could get some sleep...hip hip horray! And help me clean and disinfect the house!!... We had all been cooped up in the house over the weekend and all needed to get out and get some fresh air. So we took Luke and Ben to the park. Breathed in some fresh air, saw the sun light, fed the ducks, and played on the playground! Its amazing how doing something so simple can renew your spirit!

It was Ben's 2nd time to Lukes favourite park. He had lots of fun watching the leaves blow in the breeze and Luke feed all the birds!



I LOVE sleep! I'm feeling like a new woman now that I've had a bit more :)...and since Boyd's home, I might take advantage of it and get a afternoon nap too!...hehe!
