In the name of honesty and integrity, today i….
*Sent Amelie to nursery when she didn’t want to go and consigned her to late club so i didn’t have to be screamed at one more time by her.
* Screamed at Fran for peeling a conker and being excited about the contents when she should have been tidying her room.
*Yelled at Fran when she was the only one who had in fact done any tidying.
*Yelled at Fran for helping Maddy do Bear and Penguin.
*Threatened Fran with one sort of maths or another OR ELSE.
*Shrieked at Maddy for leaving her cup in the wrong place, even though she is the only one who lightens the load by getting her own drinks.
*Ballsed up two bead orders and then snorted with derision because i didn’t like their email address.
*Put clean carpet before cuddles.
*Took lots of paracetamol to cure a hangover; given that i’m breastfeeding, neither hangover nor painkillers might have been more appropriate.
*Yelled at Fran and Maddy before 4am because they were in bed with us and consequently Amelie, also screaming and very itchy, woke up Josie.
*Threw out a stack of paintings i meant to photograph in a temper because someone had left them lying around (me).
*Told the children to leave me alone so i could work.
*Stropped at the children because they wanted to talk to me at the same time as do bead patterns i’d asked them to do as new designs for BM.
*Left Josie in a nappy far too long.
*Left Josie to grizzle herself off to sleep in the cot and when i checked her she’d fallen asleep sat up with her head on the cot side.
*Put sorting washing ahead of doing something meaningful.
*Ate 3 Penguin bars.
*Lost my patience with Maddy after she asked me how to spell “am” three times and still spelt it “ma”.
And through most of this i walked around having arguments in my head with anyone who doubts how grateful i am for my children.
I think i probably ought to start by apologising, in several directions, and then have a lot of chocolate. I do have a stinking cold…. do i have to say any less “I love Amelie’s” because of that, or do i still need to do the round 300?
I do. Fair enough.
We have days like this too. Try not to overdo the mea culpa’s 🙂
Such is life. Don’t give yourself a hard time about it, we all have days like that.
maybe it’s time to…(???)
hugs from me
LOL, glad I’m not the only one to have days like that. It can sometimes make you focus on having a REALLY good day tomorrow!
Giggle – i just sort of prefer having the good days first!
that’s a typical day here!! lol
Bugger – Karen, haven’t repied – doing so now!
sounds fairly normal to me, too …
was thinking that too…
it’ll be better tomorrow. nothing life threatening.
ahh, love and hugs Merry. These days just happen.
we also have stinking colds.
Good day then? Lol. Sounds like one here. ((hugs))
Ruth
sounds very familiar!! we all have days like this. ((hugs))
Yes, but usually because something else needs to be dealt with. We all tell our children off, lots of us shout at them but when the whole day is a wash out of crap it usually has a whole different reason than for those we are shouting about.
For example three weeks ago I spent many days saying sorry.
Yup, we have days like that and I’m with Ros, usually it’s me that has the problem (although some days….) In fact the other day Becca sent me to my room until I could be nice! I meekly obeyed and had a glorious half an hour in seclusion!
Golly, what a blissful idea. I shall ask for permission to withdraw tomorrow i think.
hasve to say, it was all pretty much tongue in cheek – just a fractious day but i sort of thought it would make people smile ruefully.
i do appreciate being smothered in hugs though 🙂
I liked the one about ‘snorting at the email addresses’ best 🙂 So who gaver us all this horrible cold then 🙂 ?
yeah, I’d *love* to be sent to my room…
personally *I* think it was Joanna 😉
what’s great is that if we have got it we’ll pass it round a load more people at the weekend. a blogging pandemic!
should see us all immune to each other a week later though – yet another computer virus 😉
ah yes,Joanna…. 🙂
I’ll take responsibility for the cold if someone else will take responsibility for the head lice….
Hope it wasn’t us. We ddin’t have any that i could find the day before Barbara came, but i’m beginning to think i am incapable of getting rid of them here 🙁
(((hugs))) Had a day like that yesterday – ugh.
Am resorting to baby oil laced with tea tree oil for the lice here. 🙁
