Which layer of hell is this??

Well it was Monday night again, and as many of you would know, definitely not my favourtie day of the week, as Phil works late so I have the boys from the time I wake up until they go to bed when Daddy gets home at 10 - 11pm.

Today however was particularly special! So much so I'm sure if Dante was contemplating another layer of hell I'm the girl who could help him out. The layer for bitter housewives... Although not really sure if it was actually hellish, or if it's more that my temper is slightly frayed from the fact that my neck is out and I have an evil head cold, meaning I have a twice compounded headache, which makes the room spin queasily every time I move to fast.

The day actually started well. I was trying to clean the schamozle the house becomes over the weekend, and the kids where happy to watch ABC Kids.

Then it was lunch time, firstly the didn't want to eat lunch, then they didn't want to eat what I had cooked them. Then they did want to eat the lunch I had cooked them but I had already cleaned up and thrown it out!! OH MY GOD! Deep breaths, calming thoughts. Then Zaccy wouldn't go for his nap, which I really needed him to take as if I didn't get to lie down soon it felt like my head might actually implode. Although I must admit then at least I would have some peace....

So I finally get Zaccy to sleep at about 4ish and I'm trying to rest my poor sore head (boo hoo, are you feeling sorry for me yet?) and then the Internet goes down, meaning Harry can't play his computer games. So the screaming starts!! And continues even after Chelle calls and I'm trying to talk to her on the phone. The crying and gagging went on for well over an hour. (And yes Dad I can hear you saying it is my payback for the time I cried for about 6 hours to emotionally blackmail you into taking me to the Ekka, but today is soooo not the day to point that out...) occasionally with Zaccy synchronising in stereo just so he didn't feel left out, and me shouting in my demon voice "I CANNOT FIX THE COMPUTER!! So STOP CRYING!!!!"

So then it was dinner time and I'm trying to cook while at least attempting to fix the computer so Harry would stop with the crying. I swear I only ducked into the room for a moment and cursed at the computer a couple of time, but I came back out to a smoke filled kitchen and charcoaled dinner. So then we had to move onto plan B! The leftovers... I decided since dinner was pretty blegh, I would make us some yummy fresh bread, and some choc chip cookies. So the bread goes on, and I get Harry to stop crying with the bribe of helping cook the cookies, only to find that I'm missing the brown sugar (left at Mum's the night before when I went over there to cook dinner). So I explain to Harry that we can't cook the biscuits as we don't have the sugar. And he exclaims "Oh I have an idea, lets go to the shops to get some more sugar." Soooo cute... But I just didn't have the energy or the patience for the supermarket. However bribes in the form of chocolate chips helped alleviate the disappointment.

So after I cleaned the kitchen (okay and we watched a bit of TV) I put the boys in the bath and got them in their PJ's while we waited for the bread to cook, gotta love my bread making machine. Although as you can imagine from the way my day was going, it didn't rise properly, but we all still got to have jam on yummy warm fresh bread, it just looked slightly squashed and was a bit doughier than usual. But at least the machine didn't explode and short out the lights for the rest of the house.

But now the kids are in bed, and I'm not far away myself, the world is looking like a shiny happy place again. And after writing it all down the day didn't seem that bad, must have just been the wicked headache that made it unbearable. I actually feel a bit guilty for being such a whiner! As I am lucky that I get to moan about things like flat bread and the Internet breaking and not something much more serious.

Anyway, I'm gonna take the guilt trip to bed. (I apologise if it doesn't make sense but my head hurts so I'm going to post without proof reading. I'll check it again in the morning and make sure it makes English sense!) I'll see you guys on the flip side.
