Just need a bit of a moan. My day has not been the best on record and I'm going to blame my Dh for being away on business and not being here to make my morning coffee!! My bad day started at 7:00 when mum dropped mindee off who had a cough '' pease keep an eye on her, if she is poorly don't send her to nursery and phone me to collect, don't worry about the money.' Huh?? You ain't doing me a favour love, it's in my sickness policy!
On preparing for the school run all the kids were in the porch putting their shoes on when I elbowed older mindee in the head. Don't shoot me down but all I could think was fgs can I not even have room to move my arms?!
Bad mood has simmered all day as ds2 has decided to plank whilst getting into car seat or buggy.
Collect mindee from school for the first time, I say 'hello, we have to collect ds1 and other mindee from classrooms'. To which he walks off, continues walking whilst I'm calling his name, carrying my ds2 and pushing mindee 3 yrs in the buggy because she 'can't even walk'. Mindee continues to walk right out the school gate.... I shout very loud and he stops and comes back but dawdles along with all the time in the world whilst I try to hurry him along to collect other 2 who are probably waiting.
By this time I am a little flustered to say the least, at home I cook tea, eldest mindee is a nightmare to feed, doesn't eat anythin with a sauce, doesn't like yogurt, custard, jelly etc etc. I make sausages, Yorkshire pudding, veg at her request. She says she doesn't like the sausages. I'm so bored of this so I said to mum tonight, " I've given this a really good try and it's not working, I can't do dinners for her anymore" . Mum says " tell me what you are giving her and I'll tell you what I would buy." I replied "um no, I'm not changing what I buy to suit your child". Grrr!
At dinner time I have multiple requests beginning with "I want" or "get me", I had a moan to all the kids saying I'm a bit tired of prompting you to say please and thank you, how about we just remember our manners?
Hubby has arrived ack from business trip at this time to which I vent, he has now been hiding in the loo for half an hour! Don't blame him but seriously wish I could escape sometimes. My ds2 won't even let me have a wee in peace....
Sorry for the moan!
