Ode to a Bad Night

Last night how you sucked
Today I feel f*@#!~d
I was robbed of my sleep once again

A milk bottle at 12, babbling at 1
Shuffling and huffling
But oh no, still not done.

Crying at 3, blowing raspberries at 4
No rest for the wicked
Another bottle I pour.

How I miss those nights
(Long ago now they seem)
When all that disturbed me was what I would dream

I could get into bed and drift off to sleep
Not waking at all
Till my alarm went ‘beep beep’

Then along came a boy, such a delight
But also a devil who comes out at night

sleep thief he is
How he exhausts his mummy
Thank goodness, by day, he is so very scrummy!

I’m new to the world of parenting and new to the world of blogging, but I’m having a good time trying my hand at both! For the most part I try and look on the light side of things so my posts are mostly focussed on finding the funny bits in parenting and in everyday life. If you like my ramblings here you can find more on my blog at www.thepoolottery.com.
