I need to dream. For me it's important to have a dream to work towards. Because without dreams I can start to feel my soul shrivel. I need something to look forward to. I need to hope for something. I... Continue Reading →
Here comes another sleep deprived post. My eyeballs are burning from lack of sleep. My muscles are aching from not enough rest. Yet I'm wondering why I can't do it all? As a young girl and teenager I reckon I... Continue Reading →
Well. Here I am. It's 1:27am and I can't sleep. All the males in the house are sleeping soundly and here I am. Wide awake. Rubbish. So my mind wanders at this time of night. So much so that I... Continue Reading →
Happy 1st birthday to Hello 1am!! It's been a whole year since I decided to jump into the deep end and begin writing. Publicly. It is quite a daunting thing to put my thoughts and emotions down for everyone to... Continue Reading →

So this is the face of an unattractive sleep deprived mother of four with a very dodgy back. I've had a flare up since #squirt was in hospital. Possibly a combination of sitting in crappy hospital chairs holding bubs, plus... Continue Reading →
