had one of those days today. got charlotte settled nicely on the school bus, then other daughter phoned me from her school in floods of tears. She thought that she had missed the school coach for her school trip because some nasty little shit told her that she had missed it and they had gone without her. Turns out they were winding her up because they dont like her. Then i go to work and deal with allsorts there. Then i go out and do all the banking and bill paying. Then i come home only to find son in a strop cos his new shoes he ordered online dont fit him. So i had to repackage them all and send them back recorded delivery which cos bloody £8. Then charlotte comes home in a right strop so i had to calm her down. Then daughter comes home from trip telling me that the kids who told her that the bus had gone without her, did it because they dont like her. Ive just cooked tea and i am just grabbing 5 mins to tell you about my day before hubby comes home !!! phew, i am knackered !!
Oh yeah and in between all that is the usual , washing , cooking , cleaning etc etc!!

Mon 23 Jun 2008 16:49Oh i know what you mean pet, got up at 6.15am had my fix of cup of tea and fag (in peace) got Adam up at 6.45 helped him get organised and ready with 1 hand and cooked his breakfast with the other, pottered around while he watched tv waiting for his mini bus and when he went hovvered as he hates the sound, then the usual house work stuff, then ironing, then went outside to fix the fence Adam broke kicking it, by which time OH came home so i asked for his help
he just stood there playing Andy Abraham on his bloody phone watching me 
when I finished the fence i started on the back garden, then Adam came home demanding "FOOD PLEASE" then daughter constantly texting me OH in bed having a rest (gets up 4.30, postie) Adam and kids next door smashed a perspex panel in garden room, and guess what thats only half the day done 
OH will be up soon they both will want dinner, i will put washing on, wash up, tidy kitchen, fart, mask off scurting ready for me to paint tomorrow, help Adam get ready for bed, pluck my eye brows, scratch my bum and all this with a friggin bangin head and acid reflux, i too am knackered and not looking forward to going through it all again tomorrow and the next day and the next

Mon 23 Jun 2008 18:21LOL...fart and scratch me bum bit made me laugh out loud.
. OH came home sneezing and stuffed up with hay fever. Ive got a mountin of washing up to do, another wash to put on and all the hoovering to do. charlotte hates the hoover so i do it when she is not around. I looked in the mirror the other day and thought i looked completley knackered, and got a few more grey hairs!! so i have booked in at the hairdressers today. I need something to cheer me up a bit.

Re: one of those days.......
Tue 24 Jun 2008 09:14That endless list of things i have to do today is out of the window
Adam kicked off big time this morning 
shouting screaming crying thrashing around on the floor 
his hay fever is very bad at the moment and he has a summer cold on top of that, he is prone to frequent nose bleeds so sniffin and blowing his nose opens the flood gates 
hes having 2/3 nose bleeds every 24hrs even in the middle of the night poor sod 
now hes resting on the settee watching Ed Edd and Eddy so he will be getting all my undivided attention till bed time so screw the bloody list i'll just have to work twice as fast tomorrow

Tue 24 Jun 2008 10:51oooh el.
the bloody housework will still be there tomorrow so dont worry about it. it sounds a verysimilar daily routine to mine except my kids hav eno excuse for their behaviour and the worst is my oh (who has ms so i can allow him some excuses). i find that if i plan to ado anything on a set day it goes totally to pot so now i dont bother. if i get up and cant see the f;loor then i guess it needs cleaning!
if i am still able to make it to the kitchen then its a day for reading my book and sod it if i cant see the kitchen sink then i bribe my eldest with a macdonalds if he washes up 
. sod it love and give adam a big squeeze and sit and watch ed edd and eddy!have fun

Tue 24 Jun 2008 18:08Hi guys can I moan along too? lol
Today has been the day from hell!
Began at quarter passed midnight!
OH was seizing every 15 minutes right up until 4.30 this morning! by which time I was totally knackered.After so bad a night, normally, I would have left him to sleep in for a bit and mooched around in my jammies but NOOOOOOOO..
This morning is the day he needs to go get his bloods done at 10 o'clock so I gotta get up and get him mobile to make the surgery on time!Get's in and out the surgery quick as possible and back up home.
Mobile phone rings - did I forget I was to be at work for 12!!
Kinda slipped my mind a bit...no problem, I'll be right there!Get's to work to be told, we're not really working today we're having a bit of a lunch can you say a few words..fine!
Wait an hour and a half and bid a hasty retreat home.
Sit down with a cuppa and think, I'll have a wee sleep for five minutes, look over and here we go! OH's fallen asleep again so I'll need to keep awake and watch him!!
Stuff it! I'll just eat some chocolate and hope for a sugar boost till bedtime!

Wed 25 Jun 2008 09:02Oh marie dont that tick you off? when our caree's have a bad episode its always at a time when you have commitments you cant break, Adam as i said kicked off yesterday and i had to pull every trick in the book and more to get him to his psych's appointment
silver lining though is that he's now off his meds(risreridone) yippee 
thanks for the moral support kate 
he does allow me near him when he's calmed down then he falls all over me sobbin in a very diva/panto kind of way bless him. He was just so worn out being up night after night with his bloody hay fever/nose bleeds/summer cold poor sod only thing is now hes back at school and i have some time to catch up on everything im too knackered to do anything i cant do it tomorrow as its my induction day for my new job im gonna crash and watch a bit of discovery sod it

Re: one of those days.......
Wed 25 Jun 2008 14:55Hi,
I love those days!My youngest is going through an insomniac phase at the moment, despite being put to bed at 19:30 he refuses to go to sleep until 23:00, and then wakes up about 1 am and then finally again at 6am. As OH is in the hospital I have had to beg family members to take on the school run as the school is to far away so once they are all breakfasted, dressed and sent off to their respective school/nurseries I get to do some housework, then sit down for 5 minutes, then start going through my studies, then at 1pm I pick up the youngest 2 from playschool/ nursery. Then after keeping them amused someone brings my oldest back from school and then currently, with the exception of today, it is time for me to get them dressed again!, pack them off to their grandparents, go see OH in hospital, then grab kids, go home, tuck them into bed, fight youngest for ages over his desire not to sleep and then eventually slump in the chair.
If only someone had given me a crystal ball......
mind you I probably still would have done it, those rare easy days make it all worth it.Hope you are more stress free now.
Lucy
