Sleep deprivation and exhaustion is a funny thing. You either get seriously cranky, or go delirious. I decided today I would enter delirium. This morning my husband, as he left for work at the crack of dawn, did not get a wave with my happy smile, he didn't even get my usual grunt as he left. My mother did not get her morning facebook chat. Instead, I was head under duvet, deep in slumber, dreaming I was snogging Ricky Gervais! Yes people, you read that right. In my defence, Ricky was looking quite handsome. He wasn't looking like one of his Twitter photos in which he tries to pull the ugliest face he can. And by snog, I really mean more of a chin suck, no lips were locked and I ended up googling how tall he actually is this morning out of curiosity.
My children then had the pleasure of a mother who's eyes needed sticks in. as to amuse myself and keep me awake whilst driving them to school, I decided to entertain them. By entertain, I mean sing along to the songs the Short One likes to play on his iPad when he is in the car. One of his current favourites, I learned this morning, is Eye of the Tiger from Rocky III. This song is from my generation and you tell me who isn't tempted to sing the high bits? So there I was and eye of the tiger just can't help escaping my lips in my best high pitch. Long Legs rolled his eyes and told me how embarrassing I was - like the other drivers could hear! And the Short One told me I was ruining his favourite song! And if I didn't stop he would turn the music off!!! Yeah like that's gonna stop me. I kissed Long Legs goodbye and wound down his window as he walked into school and gave him a farewell 'eye of the tiger'. He didn't turn around to wave goodbye to me. Funny that. I have continued to giggle at myself all day, plus a few others. I like being tired, it's really funny! Til tomorrow x ps Ricky Gervais is 3 inches taller than me!
