Wind! (no not a reference to the sprouts)

So, when we rented this house one of the most endearing features was the fact that in every room there is an original Victorian fireplace (apart obviously from the bathroom!). So lovely, so pretty, so........ bloody annoying when the wind is rattling down them all night. Luke woke up at 4.30 this morning due to the scary noises coming into his room from the wind and refused to go back to sleep. Am sat here after dropping him off at preschool with that horrid sicky tired feeling that reminds me of early morning feeds, eyes burning through trying to keep awake and am now considering finding a sledgehammer(rummage rummage) and teaching that damn fireplace a thing or two.

Night night! (yawn)

    Aw, kids have such imaginations! I remember being afraid of monsters under my bed. If I had to go to the bathroom in the night, I would jump off the bed to avoid the chance they might grab my ankles when I got up!

    Why not wallpaper over the fireplaces like was done in the 40s?
    (You could find some Victorian paper so the ambience would remain)
    Only Joking.

    I hear you on the horrors of nighttime noises. Here at the Walker house two nights ago: squirrels burrowing in the tops of the downspouts. I literally have that scratchy noise to one side of me and a hubby who could peel wallpaper off the walls with his snoring on the other. Then one of the kids had a nightmare, so they both woke up and my husband thought it was close to morning, so he invited them to crawl in bed with us...it was 4 a.m! Good heavens. Oh well, at least I got nice snuggles before I booted them back to their room.
