S is for Sleep

S is for Sleep, something I don’t really have a problem with considering I’m usually run ragged by my two rug rats. My usual position come 10 o’clock every night is asleep on my gorgeous sofa (which is long enough for an adult to stretch full out and is incredibly comfortable) in front of the news. Mr. Lacer will eventually disturb me from my slumber long enough for me to stagger from the sofa and fall into bed.

When I climb into bed and don’t fall asleep the moment my head hits the pillow, I have a technique that usually works within minutes and a few short ones as that, I got this technique from my mum but have adapted it over the years. I’ll lie in bed but I’m not in bed, at least not mine, in my mind I’ll be sunny myself on a lounger on a golden sanded beach, the sun gently warming my skin or I’m in a sleeper coach gently rattling me through the Scottish Highlands as I lay snug in my bunk or I’m in a hammock on a pirates ship as the waves rock me to sleep or back to the hot exotic holiday resort I’m climbing into a ginormous white linened bed in a pristine white villa, a gentle breeze blowing through the open arched doors, then I’m normally asleep in seconds.

Tired Sunday morning thought – Annabel Karmel’s got a new book coming out!

Was going to include this yesterday but I forgot, I noticed on Amazon yesterday that Annabel Karmel has a new book coming out! Cue me jumping around in excitement, I love her stuff.

Fussy Eaters' Recipe Book

Out 23 August 2007, well I guess it does what it says on the cover and boy could I do with that with my two veg phobics, although I hope it’s not just a load of recipes where you’re trying to turn veg into teddy bears or something because I don’t agree with that, kids need to learn to appreciate food as food, not dressed up as something it’s not plus which mum has time to find a single individual cooked pea, two tiny pieces of red pepper and an olive just to make the face plus my kids most definitely would not be fooled by that anyway. Still excited though and I just hope she doesn’t go down the whole teddy bear line, her last two books didn’t but they were aimed I think at older kids. Will definitely be buying it but from a real world bookshop so I can double check it first!
