The blog post where I talk about sleep, AGAIN!
Unrelated but annoyed looking cat. Sums up how we feel about sleep… Oh look, she’s blogging about sleep, or lack of it, again, I hear you mutter. Yes, I am going to talk about sleep, and probably sound a bit whiney, but this is more of an update post, than anything else. We recently discovered that […]
READ MORESo, do we have an answer….?
Or at least we hope, we have worked out why Small Boy may not be sleeping so well. I am kicking myself, and feel very guilty, that I should have worked it out sooner, but now we know, and hopefully we can work our way to a solution. At Christmas time, Small Boy got flu, […]

READ MOREChanges
I don’t like change, I like things to stay the same. I get very anxious when change is in the air, particularly when I am not in control of everything. I’m a control freak, I know this. I also know that sometimes change is good and is needed, and is unavoidable! So, with that profound […]
READ MOREToday, I’d like to be a cat….
Well, this blog is titled the “MAD CATS and babies” so you have to expect the odd piece about the cats themselves! This was Jasper, today, asleep on my bed, curled up, hiding away. It’s clearly a hard life….. This is what I’d like to do today. I want to curl up, in a warm […]

READ MOREWhat the parenting books don’t tell you about Sleep Deprivation Part 1.
