What Am I Doing Up??

New thread for all those times that you are logged in at an ungodly hour. Leave a message for yourself and others explaining your insomnia.

Can we be slightly more clear on the rules here? What is classed as an ungodly hour?

Pathless · 11-07-2007, 12:35 PM

I ate a bannana. How do you spell banana anyway?

I typed part of a story I wrote. Need to do more of that sort of thing.

I woke up the dog. Didn't mean to.

Drank some water.

Checked on my nationstates nation. As well as my cybernation. Checked my e-mail.

Hopefully got someone to click on that "my e-mail" link in hopes of snooping on me. Boy, will they get a surprise!!

Went back to bed.

I'm going, really I am.

Okay, fine. Be nitpicky.

Let's say anywhere between 1:30 am and 5 am.

Or any hour of the day in which one is doing something ungodly would also suffice.

There. Happy?

Quite yr bitching, soldier-boy. Don't they teach you not to complain in the army? After all, you chose to do that, did you not?

I've put in a good amount of service and slavery myself, so don't whine to me about who you had to kill for yr country.

Ha! I used to be up {cheerfully?} changing dirty diapers and breastfeeding during those hours! {Can you say that that? It's easy to take a life, but really tough to bring forth life!}

{I still don't think I've completely recovered from the post-tramatic stress syndrome, though, so watch out!}

Yeah that has to be hard... You're not suposed to exchange war cries in that situation are you? I think they call it child abuse or something ;\ I'd just scream back at the kid! Then probally go blow the side of my head off with a 45'.... lol Kids... Ugh, not ready for that adventure quite yet.

Don't be daft that is one of the main lessons. We teach it by saying "okay guys we are going, get on the truck". Half an hour later we say "no not going yet, get off the truck". Then we say "this time we are ready, get on the truck". We repeat this for between 6 & 8 hours at least twice a weekl. You would be amazed how quickly we learn to complain!!!!

just thought I'd add... you know, I can sleep anywhere.. any time, no problem... it's great...

outside in the rain... I'm asleep... at my desk in work, I can sleep... now I have got to the stage where I can sleep and still make it look like I'm here and awake, when in fact, I am asleep. lol...

off to bed now... good night...

I was never 'up' with the twins. At the time they were born I left for work at 5:30 a.m. So our system was, I went to bed at 9 pm, my wife stayed up till she got them down (10-12) I woke up for the early am feeding/changing(1-4) I'd feed them both 4 oz and change them both and put them back to bed. My record time was like eight and a half minutes from the time I got outta bed till the time my head hit the pillow! But more often than not I'd change them, then lay down on the double bed with one head in the crook of my right elbow, feeding with a bottle from my left hand, the others head on my right wrist with my wrist bent holding the bottle and feeding her/him. I'd go to sleep, wake up a half hour later, bottles empty kids asleep and I'd pop off back to bed.

Of course there was a time for about 4 or 5 years where I was up working on projects and the net and only slept 2-3 hours a night. But I got better.
