How does Insomniac switch off at night when hubby suggests she turn off the light?
Does Insomniac slam her laptop and pout?
Does she throw her iPhone all about?
Does Insomniac open her reader once more and cry: “I want to read one blog more!”?
Does Insomniac snore?
How does Insomniac switch off at night when hubby suggests she turn off the light?
Does she hog the duvet all cosy inside?
Does her head hit the pillow and take a dream ride?
Does she snooze, does she sleep, does she close those tired eyes?
Does she fall into slumber, content with a sigh?
No, Insomniac can’t. She would like to try.
She leaves a last comment.
Checks stats, are those right?
She swigs some Diet Coke and curses the night.
She writes a quick blog post then one comment more.
Good night sleeping household. And yes, I do snore.

hilarious! not least in a household where, not only does that sound just like me, but for at least 2yrs I read that damn book at least 5 times a week!
ooo, you really tickled me
lovely and so so so true – much empathy
Love that! I read "How do dinosaurs play?" to my son lots, so I recognized the style.
I love that! And all the best people snore !
Err, I wouldn't drink diet coke if you can't sleep. Of course I do too, but it probably isn't the best idea.
Fantastic
Just discovered your blog via Twitter – love it!
Brilliant!
P.S. I snore too. As do Ant and Kai. In fact, when we were three in a bed we were just one big overlapping snore.
Wonderful! =)
Great stuff. You're one witty mama
