I refuse to have one of ‘those’ days August 24, 2007
Today has all the potential to be a tough one. We have stuff to do and none of us are feeling much like getting on with things.
After a late night I’m tired, hayfevery and a bit short of patience. My ideal morning would be spent in bed.
Leila is grouchy with a bit of a cold and an attack of ‘itchy bum’ and wouldn’t have her bottle this morning. At the moment she’s writhing in her seat and grumbling at her toy fish.
Finn is being silly and difficult and has been sent to his room after refusing to clean his teeth and get dressed. This is not so much a punishment as a distraction to allow me time to have my own breakfast and get dressed.
My plan for today was to get all the jobs done this morning so that the munchkins and I could have a quiet afternoon ahead of visitors this evening. But I refuse to spend my time fighting with Finn and hassling with Leila, so things just might not get done. I’ll take a quiet life over a clean and tidy one today.
Sane and tidy is good but if you have to choose then I agree you should always choose sane.
