Sleepless in Spreyton (Alternative Title 'Can't Sleep - Clowns Will Eat Me')


Sigh. It's 1.39 am and here I sit at the computer, desperately trolling the rumour sites for even a hint of a rumour. So far - nothing. Not one lousy little peep. I have an overwhelming urge to simultaneously scream, cry and kick something REALLY hard. I spent today (or should that be yesterday??) wading through the mire that is the Immigration paperwork. What a gigantic pain in the butt it is. I woke at 1am, started thinking about all the mistakes I may have made and hence, here I am.

Gertisquidge - thank you for your tag. I read about it, and freaked out when I realised that my middle name has NINE letters, and I couldn't think of anything interesting or witty to say. Sorry for being such a wimp!!!

Will try to get some sleep now, but I fear that it may be all too elusive. I guess this is nature's way of preparing me to parent a young baby again. I remember when I was pregnant with DS and DD that the last week or so of the pregnancies sucked big time - being too big to sleep comfortably, having to get up every five minutes to pee. Perhaps my RRI (referral related insomnia) is the adoption world's equivalent of this...

Now, as to the alternative title to my post, my sister's husband actually has a legitimate phobia of clowns. My sister bought him a T-Shirt with the logo just like the one in the picture, and I thought it was kinda funny. Strange what the brain thinks about in the wee small hours of the morning.. Fingers crossed for some referral rumours VERY soon, or I may very well go mad.

And don't forget Bart Simpson says this (an episode about Lisa's arrival I think).

I'd agree with the pre-baby arrival insomnia. Always good to be in training rather than to go cold turkey into sleep deprivation. I admire you so much & this just proves it. I had one sleepless night last week with A - every hour on the hour for the evening (fever) & the next few days I was all "never again" :)

Hoping you hear something sooner not later. Shame chocolate isn't a tranquiliser!

I don't blame you wimping out of my tag, with a NINE letter middle name lol!! Besides you've got something more important to worry about - Where are the referrals??? Got everything crossed that you hear something SOON.

Love
