This week a course of antibiotics meant that "Same time as his kids Athletico" got to sleep not with one ear on a Unicorn hot water bottle but in the default setting that has suited him for years.
In the recovery position, one hand palm face down under the pillow the other out ready to receive a baton in the 4 by 100 metre check the front door is still locked and the carbon monoxide batteries haven't run flat, relay.
The best night's sleep came, as predicted, after a weekly being smashed and attempting to smash fellow BJJ practioners. For the quality of sleep it provides it would be well worth doing a BJJ class every night although that might mean things start falling off.
One of the best bits of advice I could give anyone,specifically anyone anxious who struggles to get good sleep is to try and do any exercise in the evening. Even a 15-20 walk round the block can wear you down and chill you out enough to help you drift off.
If and when a nightly routine of hiding behind bedroom curtains to scare Daddy, ends in slipping on the sharp side of a toy box and slicing a big toe, remaining calm is the key.
How to deal with a
bleeding toes bedtime crisis.
1)
Manage the room. If your heavily pregnant wife
whose not great with blood is feeling faint ask her to sit on the floor before
she lands on it. If she’s not too faint to help, use her nervous energy. In this case get the first aid box from the kitchen and put a pull up nappy on our son who has just admitted to piddling on the carpet.
2)
Pick up your daughter and raise her foot above
her heart to slow down the bleeding. Cover her in a duvet or dressing gown to
keep her warm and keep her occupied by asking her questions about what she had for lunch /who her favourite my little pony is.
Answers= Macaroni cheese and Apple Jack.
Answers= Macaroni cheese and Apple Jack.
3)
Apply some pressure to the big toe and have a good look at it. At first I thought she had sliced the top half off but following a quick
clean while enquiring about Apple Jack's role I managed to ascertained we were going to be
spared an evening trip to A and E.
4)
Once her toe was cleaned and bandaged a bit
of chocolate just in case she was a bit shocked by the ordeal can be a good. Chocolate also helps smalls boys who are upset about piddling on the carpet and pregnant people scrubbing piddle off carpets.
