Perhaps that's my trouble, I spend most days in silence ;)<br /><br />I've long had similar sleep problems so great sympathy.<br />Like Milla, mine is usually 4ish. Although I'm currently going through a stage of not being able to nod off at all. As a result next day I feel like poo. <br /><br />Like today. <br /><br />xxBluestocking Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502764742097142372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-90866393277908488572011-02-10T03:54:21.174-11:002011-02-10T03:54:21.174-11:00Uplifting music selection idea....

Something to do with melatonin levels I think. I only drink a half glass diluted because I tend to get BIG reactions to things - like coffee makes me behave like most people do after taking the white nose powder! <br /><br />Hooray for the Next vouchers - enjoy your gadget you deserve a treat.

Hope you get a better nights sleep, and if James reads the blog just point out how necessary that little ipod is as when you can't sleep and feel like tossing and turning, some soothing music can help you drift off without disturbing him....so really totally not selfish but very thoughtful hahaPosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844732200803572416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-18089430888635995932011-02-09T03:41:47.545-11:002011-02-09T03:41:47.545-11:00Jane, I am so glad that you won those vouchers!

Hoping that some of my clicks from overseas helped get you the washing machine and i pod, etc.<br /><br />It's been decades since I had a washing machine of my own. What a true convenience it was.<br /><br />Please let me know how you do get on with the i pod. (Confessing I never even had a Sony Walkman, and that I usually sort of provide my own music, singing mostly inside my head, but think it might be time to embrace a little bit more of contemporary life.)<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-36505695646909129462011-02-09T02:57:01.255-11:002011-02-09T02:57:01.255-11:00Uplifting music suggestions:

As for being totally selfish . . . well, I'm occasionally guilty of that too and you know what, it's okay! Mothers need to remember that they don't stop living when they have children, it's far too easy to do for them and ignore ourselves. The occasional treat for us doesn't hurt them, when we're happier, they're happier (or so I try to convince myself as I gaze on the gigantic sword rack the poor delivery man dragged through the snow piles and across the ice flows, up the broken stairs and onto the back deck!!)<br /><br />You did make me realize I haven't smudged this old hovel in at least ten years - guess I know what I'll be doing after I drop Lurch off at school ;)<br /><br />In short - you are NOT alone, my dear.
