    What do you have to be grumpy about?

    I always thought the “stunning” were beyond grumpy!

    I’ll be back tomorrow, can’t seem to load the whole page now, there’s too many pics, girl :)

    Ah, the jagged face of exhaustion. I know this face well, as I have seen in my mirror so often. I want to make you a nice little warm milk with honey and read you Ann Patchett’s book!

    I do love the drawing. It made me giggle. :)

  9. justacoolcat Says:

    I can’t nap either. I’m disoriented and crabby the rest of the day.

    If a book is made, it should be a pop-up book. The world is in short supply of quality pop-up books.

    I suggest(albeit far too late to do you any good) listenign carefully to the lyrics of Van Morrison’s ‘Alan Watt’s Blues’. Play through once, repeat as much as neccessary.

    Hope you are deeply asleep as I write this.

    That is like my daily routine. How did you know? Nice drawings though.

    Smile sweet darling and let the sunshine in.
    Love Jeanne ^j^

    cool drawing :-)
    so by now, you are a bit but not too much grumpy?
    I experience the same grumpy feeling returning to work after the midday brake :-)

    That is a funny little cartoon :)

    I’d love to see this from more bloggers too - I suspect many of us may have similar sorts of instructions for getting through the day.

    it’s OK to be grumpy when you can manage to be so creative and cute with it.love the drawing.
    (heck it’s ok to be grumpy without the creative spin either. ppl who love us ought to put up with our moods right? that’s what they’re there for!)xx

    Oh I love this so much! You should do more of these…it would be great if drawing helped you overcome the grumpiness.
    I only fall asleep around 4 o’clock too, but luckily for me I don’t have to get up early.

    walter
    it’s my signature 9 o clock look.

    kylie
    i made it look like a single bed because i tend to occupy all of it, in reality it is double :)

    berlinbound
    you are so sweet.
    napping makes me grumpy, nothing else.

    Vani
    massively. we should go to a sleep spa or something.

    Devil
    hehe, it does help. i have to get up early to get my son ready. It’s still dark outside which disorganizes me further.

    Joanna
    i am going to listen to it tonight on M’s mp3 player. I have downloaded some podcasts on meditation hoping they might help!

    cool cat
    sleep sucks. let’s not sleep, ever

    pkelley
    the last thing the world needs is a book where my grumpy face pops up every two pages :)

    Crag
    “I’m tired of the ways of mice and men
    And the empires all turning into rust again.”
    Thanks Crag. I love Van Morrison.

    Ebun
    erm, great minds sleep alike?
    welcome back Ebun! xx

    Jeanne
    i do smile. it’s like a tattoo, but it’s still a smile :) xx

    Vista
    No,i am okay now. And thanks so much for yeaterday’s advice. It was great.
    xx

    Stephanie
    I’d love to see that too. Maybe people can draw some sleeping instructions. Or some breathe in breathe out manuals.

    sounds like you need to change your routine.

  21. Anonymous Says:

    wow that is like an exact drawing of my day!

    Chloe, why would you tell Sophie there’s no book in the making? Of course there is a book in the making.

    I have faith.

    Anyone can eat a whale by gnawing a little bit at a time.

  23. Fuff Says:

    That’s a lovely sketch.

  24. Gina Says:

    Add a baby to the mix and that is my life, except there is no respite at 11:00 with my ipod…sigh. Sign me sleepless in Sweden. Visiting from Auntie Hatties’.

    wow sounds like me but add a half hour bus ride with my ipod, and a very sleepy looking me in my classes and at work!
