That's when I started reading e-books, first on a PDA then on Kindle app for iPhone. I could read in bed without waking up the snoozing hubby - fantastic. Eventually learned to just roll with it and enjoy reading. It's rare now... but with kids at school and slower, less demanding life, those sleepless nights aren't so bad as have the chance to sleep by day. May never take it but having the ability to makes all the psychological difference.Seana Smithhttp://www.themumsdiet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-17039130979279233272012-03-03T14:35:52.597+11:002012-03-03T14:35:52.597+11:00I'm with you.

For me it is hearing the kookaburras and they way they "laugh" at the prospect of the new day, that brings hope. <br /><br />BTW, I often do get up and write it down, sipping a cup of chamomile tea before climbing back into bed - usually just in time for hubby's 5.30am alarm to go off!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035359686891598881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-9867199708517104882012-03-03T10:10:30.974+11:002012-03-03T10:10:30.974+11:00Yes the sun always rises, sometimes though way too...Yes the sun always rises, sometimes though way too early.

A Fibro is a simply type of housing, built in Australia since the 1920s, but mostly in the 1950s and 60s when they needed quick housing after WWII. A lot of them have been pulled down, but you'll often find them in coastal areas - 'beach shacks'.
