h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I wish!!! It's currently 2.35am and I can't sleep because of a heavy cold which has moved to my chest.....needless to say I wish it wasn't coughing thats keeping me awake!

I wonder if anyone else is actually awake at this godforsaken hour and reading this. Isn't it just horrible when you really want to sleep but for whatever reason can't? Even my 2yr old son is asleep...whats the betting that I'll just get to sleep and he'll then wake me up with cries of 'mummy...drink...mummy' or something equally heartrending. How do they do it?!

Last night he managed to wake me up at 4am with exactly those words. Needless to say, being the dutiful and devoted mother I dragged myself out of bed and downstairs to fetch him the said drink. On entering his bedroom and holding out the drink to him I was greeted with a little giggle and a shake of the head. Through my zombie like state, I registered that it had all been a big game to get mummy out of bed and doling out attention.

Suffice it to say I won't fall for that one again.....or will I?!!!!
