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.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

Soup was good, but it really annoys me because I made a big pot of it and my son decided no he didn't want any; so off he went to buy his own dinner. I said to him it's vegetable soup and he replied 'no I'll buy my own food, you can't tell me what to eat' WTF!!!! why do i bother? really why do i bother cooking, cleaning, running around like a stupid idiot and then get spoken to like that.

I feel that no one appreciates me and it hurts.

Glad you cleaned your fridge and got to make some soup out of the vegies that were still good. I have the same problem, big family=big fridge and when the boys buy their own food and put it in containers and then leave it there for weeks, well it goes in the bin.

Re: Night Shift

I know what you mean @BlueBay .... even while I was making my soup I was thinking that if my lot were here they wouldn't eat it ....

When they were younger I could just cook a family meal - while my hubby was working that is - and the kids might whinge a bit every now and then .... but what I had made for dinner was dinner and that was it !!

Now I can make a bit lot of dinner for everyone, and find this one's not coming home, and that one's not hungry, and the other one had decided to cook something different for herself ..... that's what happens when the big family grows up these days ....

How is your new scarf going ?

Re: Night Shift

I finished my first scarf then tonight I finished a second one. But I've just pulled the first one apart because it was too wide and I didn't like it. Starting again is very frustrating.
Jersey is asleep on her bed inside. Boys won't be home for a while.
How is at home without your hubby and kids?
