oh grrr… bah humbug

I don’t know what’s wrong with me :~( I’ve spent all day yelling and shrieking at the children, i’m completely sick of the sight and sound of them :~( I just would really like a bit of peace and i would like to be doing stuff like tidying up that didn’t involve looking around and finding they had taken two things apart for every one thing i had done.

Its not helped that all our weekend plans went wrong – we planned to go racing yesterday and be in Loughborough overnight so that we could go up to Sheffield today – but the weather reports were so awful we didn’t and then the weather was okay in bits but not enough to know what to do. So apart from a nice park walk yesterday and a visit from Aunty Kate today, its all gone a bit wrong. And i missed a call from my cousin so didn’t see her when she was up and OH ARGH GRRRRRRR

On the upside Moo and i did good reading today and Fran was more patient than normal on a logic puzzle from Webland too. But basically i have been a rubbish mum and for the first time today felt myself thinknig “if only they were all off to school tomorrow” – argh. I need a holiday.

I’m not even looking forward to HESFES this year – for one thing it means Max and i are going to miss a tradition of ours and for another its all looming up as a lot of hard work. Grumble grumble….
