I go to bed at 10:45pm but end up tossing and turning all night. I wake up at 5:45am to the baby monitor again and with a sore neck and face – I must have been grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw again.

The baby goes back to sleep quickly but I lie there awake until 7am before jumping in the shower. I feel more awake once I’m done.

Day 3

My mum is working from home today so comes round at 7:30am to help me get the kids ready because my husband is in the office. I don’t usually eat breakfast until after I’ve done the school run, but my mum makes scrambled eggs on toast so I eat that. I also make us coffees with our ‘fancy’ coffee machine I bought for my husband for his birthday last year.

I have a small lunch with my youngest daughter, and then we do the school run together at 2:45pm to collect the eldest. We play in the park for an hour with school friends before going home – my husband is home from the office early so I start cooking dinner.

I get the kids to bed at their actual bedtimes today, so by 8pm we’ve eaten, the kids have had their bath and I have time to get a couple of hours work in with a friend. It turns into more than a couple of hours and two beers, so I end up going to bed at 1am.
