Lost dream

I had a Lost dream last night where the island was full of Zombies! They all lived in Jacob's cabin and had normal human rationality, only they were all dead and gooey. Ben was in it a lot - I might have been flirting with him. He was trying to change his devious ways, but wasn't doing it very well. He thought his kidneys were failing for some reason. Fun times.

*props eyes open with stick*

This child will be the bloody death of me. She still has this weird bed-phobia, has been very difficult to get down to sleep at bedtime, up at the crack of dawn, and then refuses point blank to nap despite being visibly knackered for the last few days. After a hissy fit at Playgym, she passed out in her pushchair on the way home today for about 10 mins. I tried to carry her up to bed straight away. She woke up and screamed the house down. that was two hours ago. the proper attempt at nap time started an hour ago and she's still clonking about in her room, talking to her toys and pretending to play the trumpet. But every time I go upstairs she's suddenly, miraculously lying in bed. She keeps asking me to lie with her but I'm not getting into that habit of her needing one of us with her to fall asleep again.

She is a monkey.

may have to give up on naptime yet again in a bit, although she's then absolutely guaranteed to fall asleep in her pushchair this afternoon, only to wake up the moment we're in.

EDIT - everything went quiet just as I was about to submit defeat and get her up. Let her doze for an hour then woke her, causing an HOUR LONG tantrum. *Sigh*

Reasons to be cheerful.

Two things to be smug about, in spite of the difficult and tiring day I had with Vi today...

1 - I was on Tweeting Fire this afternoon playing a hashtag game of 'Crap Urban Legends'. Started off with real urban myths then started making them up as the game got sillier. You'll see what I mean when my day's Tweets get auto-posted here tonight. Laughed lots at other peoples' fake urban myths too (ie "White wine is just red wine with added bleach").

2 - I got sent some New Adventures fanart this evening! It's from the first adventure, of Hank & Eric bumping into DM before they get sucked back. Will you just take a look at how bloody great it is?
