I'm So Tired...

[RESiNATE]

So, I've been awake since pretty much 1400hrs, yesterday.
I had to go to work at midnight, and was hoping to grab some shut-eye before I went...but unfortunately, the lure of WRC4 in the PS2 was too much to bear....I succumbed

I do so love WRC4

Anyways, I need to know of ways to stay awake, because the kids are here and want to do stuff, but I keep falling asleep.

@WRC4

I've got a hot, strong cup of coffee..but seeing as I usually drink about 10cups of tea a day, I don't really think that the coffee is gonna be much of a boost

...I nearly fell asleep just then!
Help me please...lol

Yep I hear you, I am often lacking sleep after pulling an all nighter to get my uni work done, go to work next day and take care of child. Damn hard. I find that the best thing is depending on age of children and time of day. Put on a tv show or PS2 for them grab nap on lounge for minimum of ten minutes but not more that an hour. This will give you enough energy to then organise a fun physical activity to do with the kids. The activity must be physical other wise your brain will think you are wanting to sleep and you will be out like a light.

If the nap is not an option, grab the kids and a ball and go for a walk (not car as you might fall asleep while driving).First stop the corner shop, buy them a food that will keep their mouths busy for a long time this way they will not notice that you are unable to listen to them. Next stop, park with a river or water of sorts play with ball eventually let ball get kicked in water then spend the rest of the day trying to get ball out of water without actually entering the water and before you know it they day will be almost over. By the time you get home the kids will be starving feed them, bath them and they will out like a light and so will you.

This is tried and tested and it was also a lot of fun. just don't fall asleep at park and freezing weather could be a problem but hey it's all I got.

lol...thanks Mrs P, that's some good advice there

Cool, they're set up on PS2, and I've managed a brief doze
Gotta do a shopping thing at some point, but will incorporate that into trip to park first - it is a nice day, after all.
I guess it's all about timing now...

It's times like this, that I wish had a nice, fat, big, lovely, line of Amphet........woohoo!!!
lol

I can't wait for the hallucinations to begin lmaooo....as I was just telling that bloke who just drove his inflatable milk-float through my living room....."Got any gold-top, mate?"

lol...If you can break through the barrier you will be right.

No Doze has gotten me through many tiring days but no where near as pretty as hallucinating and you end up having a really bad nights sleep. Adrenalin is the way to go, maybe you should scare yourself awake lol

haha i wish i had some good advice for ya - whenever i babysat after an all nighter i was horrible.. id put in a movie and lay down on the couch and doze off.. then wake up and get pissed because the kids were into something (even though it was My fault lol) try taking them somewhere outside maybe.. maybe being out in the fresh air will wake you up.

[RESiNATE]

Yeah....we just got back from the park...
Still awake...just

They were good at the park, then they turned ugly when we had to go to the supermarket. The supermarket was mad as fuck...loads of people buying food and stuff....pushing trolleys around like zombies, trying to decide which of the 274brands of baked beans they want to buy.....kids bleating about how they're thirsty....

...me?..I was an island of tranquilty, amidst a chaotic sea of beligerance.

Got home..fed the terrors....they're jumping on the furniture at the moment, and I will have to express my displeasure at them...poor souls.....LET THE SCREAMING BEGIN!!!.....

Be right back..*rolls up sleeves*

[BOgart.bitch]

you should never take your kids into a store lol they will drive ya maddd

haha i can just see it now.. "GET DOWN YOU NASTY LITTLE BRATSS!!" *throws pillows* lol

the song "I'm so Tired" by the beatles is awesome. I suggest u become a day tripper ( another beatles song) and not an all night tripper if ur tired. . As for now u are tired while my guitar gently weeps

[RESiNATE]

I had to use force...ie, I tickled them till they couldn't breathe lol....err...anyone know CPR?

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.

I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid get.


Couldn't help it. The Beatles are good in any situation
