Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Oh it's a bummer having mucked up sleep @Faith 😯

I remember reading the other day that your daughter will be able to graduate. That's fantastic. What a relief.

On our outing yesterday we discovered a dress shop with amazing formal dresses.
When is the graduation night?

I wish I had been able to go to my daughter's 2nd & 3rd graduation or my own .. but at least I did go to her graduation from high school. And the teacher she is living with at the moment cruised by our little family on the street corner near the town hall... eyeing me u0 and down.

@Former-Member. Of course. Eat as much as you like. Even have lollies and chips - with a 5 year old here tonight - I had to make sure there was traditional party food. She told me she knew there wouldn't be any fairy bread - because I am old (46 today) & old people don't have fairy bread. Lol

D3's graduation is not a given yet ... her school commitments are complete, but she has two TAFE certs to get together in the next couple of weeks .... so we're over the first hurdle but not the next two yet ....

Graduation is a couple of weeks later .... just ahead of D1's wedding ..... so can't slow down just yet ....

Haha! @utopia
Never too old for fairy bread or lollies and chips.

I still get lollies and chips for our birthdays and there aren't any little kids in our house. 😂

Big celebration when it's all over @Faith-and-Hope. 💗

Thank you for noticing @Former-Member

@Faith-and-Hope I am tearing up now ... the loss of my daughter .. has gone now for 15 years ... its not totally the teacher's fault .. nothing is totally anybody's fault ... but that doesnt make it right.

Thank you thank you thank you

My baby girl was never treated as worth anything nor my motherhood. she is very grown up but has missed out on so much ... we both have .. and my boy has missed having a halfway decent realtionship with his full blood sister .. I dont ask for the world ..

I need to go and do some music .. I will be alright ... but thanks to the forum
