Today has been terrible

[Fuschia]

In no particular order

Tantrums x 10

Non napping teething baby

Non napping screaming twins

Assault on the supposedly locked art cupboard

Flooded bathroom

Wasted journey to camberwell having loaded the whole lot in the car for a journey throughout which thd baby cried ... To look at two scooters someone wAs selling only to

Be told she had changed her mind

Late to get big child from school

Huge queue in tescos

No parking near my house

All day I have been trying to hang up the washing, cook dinner, book my mot and tescos order

Tasks completed - 0/4

Oh no F that sounds awful! Hmm can you have a glass of wine now?

[Fuschia]

Yeah imminently

I feel totally freezing, I think I might also be a bit in shock

I might try a hot bath

[sillywoman]

Tomorrow can only be better.

Feed them easy sandwiches & get them into bed early. It won't kill 'em.

Have hot bath and big glass of vino.

Take a deep breath, chalk it up to a 'crap day' (happens in the life of every family) and start all over again.

Sending calming, sympathetic vibes across ED to you. :))

[helena handbasket]

Yep that certainly is a terrible, no good, very bad day!

Hope tomorrow is better (kind of has to be, right)?

Good venting!:))

Crumpets

Hot bath for me though joined by 3 children

Now trying to settle grouchy baby to sleep

Our day started with someone saying to Seb, as we waited for the 12, "ooh look your Mummy has a baby in her tummy!". Cue meltdown from Seb, complete with attempted squirming out of his maclaren. 12 turns up, we get on, it's packed and seb screams the entire way to Barry rd whilst we crawl along in traffic. I stand the whole way feeling like sh*t, having been awake all night with tightenings every 8 mins. Walk through Peckham rye park, stupidly let Seb out of buggy, he lies IN FOX POO and does his deadweight/screaming act. It takes 35 minutes to walk across the pk to Colyton Rd, where he attempts to run into the road and into every front garden. Get to my MIL, he cries insanely because h can't get the doorbell to work. Deposit demon baby with MIL, leave, go home to WFM for the day but fell asleep on our sofa for almost 4 hours.

I blam bio-rhythms. Or lunar cycles? Although next full moon a week away.

Sorry about your day, F. Can empathize with selling timewasters and parking...

The law of regression to the mean means both of you are owed a better day tomorrow..... fingers crossed you both get better days tomorrow!

I know how crummy this will sound but "research" says it takes 4 good things to minus the memory of one bad thing. After glass of wine, when in bath try to remember all the good bits, e.g.one crying baby V's 2?? tremendously well behaved siblings tolerating baby in car.

We have all been there and know it sucks, hope tomorrow goes better.

PS Ruth I too have had that bus ride of shame, they will get older, and more sensible, i think.

Does that mean I need another 11 children to add to the one adorable baby to balance out the 3 troublesome ones

[toast]

Guess the bath did not do the trick. Make tomorrow a duvet and dvd day :)

[Fuschia]

That never works

Actually need to do a really thorough clean ... And some of my actual job! The twins ate out of the house for just over 2h

Let's pray miserable baby pops that tooth soon!

I am hVing to work right now to catch up because k did nothing today

Oh yes the wild party round the corner last night till 1am didn't help much either
