Total AW post: crappy day & it's only lunch time

i woke up at 6am sweating because it's too hot and stupid England has no prep for super hot weather, so we don't own AC except for in the car. Then I was sick really badly because I had such bad heartburn. As I was throwing up- 3.5 year old demands to watch, somewhere in between me puking and pushing him away- he drops his entire bowl of Cheerios in the bath I was running. He then has a melt down because this was apparently my fault somehow. He refuses to get dressed or brush his teeth. I have to drag him out of the door.

Then I take him to football training, which is in a sweaty hall. I had ice water with me but I felt dizzy it was so stuffy. Stop off on the way home to pick up the paddling pool I've ordered for the kids. Tears because it doesn't have Marvel avengers on it. Bird poops on my windscreen. Pop in to supermarket for lunch bits- 1.5 year old decides to have the most embarrassing melt down of her life. Screaming her heart out because I wouldn't let her have a pack of kebab sticks. (I shit you not.) 3.5 year old then decides he's going to carry on his demonic tantrum from this morning and starts kicking the trolley. He then cries because he's hurt himself. People are by now- looking at me thinking "WTF is this woman doing having another kid, when she can't handle these two." And I'm pretty much agreeing with them. Oh also- they didn't have the bacon wrap that I was dreaming of all morning.

It's barely 2pm and I've cried twice. Today isn't my day. I would like to fast forward to tomorrow. I hate feeling like I can't cope and that's all I've felt like today.

Moan over!

  • I'm sorry, mama. I don't even have kids and last week was like this for me, a series of bullshit events that I just was not in the mood for. All of it will get better. Get yourself something bacon-tastic! Creepy Internet hugs.

  • Sounds like an awful start to the day - but it can only improve from here!! I agree with fithuntress - get yourself something yummy and grab a fan and a spray bottle and pretend you're at the beach!
  • Oh mama that sounds awful! I hope your day gets better.
  • I'm sorry your having a bad day.. I hope it turns around!!! My morning started off rough.. I also work over nights now (or should I say again) and there are days where it seems like everything can happen over night and then the morning schedule starts and everything seems to go to hell.. I hope your day starts to go better and that you get your bacon wrap!!!
  • So sorry. :(  I can't imagine living without AC right now, you poor thing.  On a positive note, the day can only last so long....here's to a better tomorrow!

  • If it makes you feel any better... Someone just about ran my and all my three kids off the road. I hit the curb and blew out two tires, so we have to wait 70 minutes for a tow truck to get here:/ this is going to be a lovely day! And the car is brand new with new tires.... FML
  • Thanks ladies... I got some bacon thankfully. and youngest monster is uncharacteristically having a nap right now. Bribed older one with the promise of sweets and the Ipad if he lets mummy sit quietly!!! Hoping for a better afternoon. Also got myself a bottlespray bottle and that's helping wonders with the heat, although I look like a shiny mess so here's hoping no one knocks at my door today!!!

    @ashleywuli I'm so sorry, that's awful! Glad you're all okay but not a good end to the week :-(
  • Oh that's a horrific way to start the day! I'm so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get to relax with some fans and ice water later when the kids are asleep. Hope your day gets better girl!

    I hope everybody in your car is ok!!! Stupid other drivers!!
  • Oh girl, stick the kids in front of CBeebies and sneak a bowl of ice cream for yourself! Today is a write-off, try again tomorrow. Creepy internet hugs for you!

  • You guys rock :x Today I've just written off and eaten my feelings instead. Tomorrow will be a better one! Plus we have a big thunder storm right now which is cooling the air, so maybe this grizzly mama bear will get some sleep!
  • I say send the H out for coldstone, after the kids go to bed, if you have one near you!
  • @oorl11052015 thanks! We are all ok I was just really ticked off:( 700 later my tires are fixed:( ugh oh well the day's going to get better from here!

    Glad to know everybody is ok!! I know people can be suck aholes when they drive.. Somebody cut me off before I got pregnant and I jumped the curb and hit a light pole.. The poor front of my car was just destroyed.. Thankfully my car was a tough little thing and I was able to walk away without anything.. I didn't even get a bruise! I'm very thankful for that car and I actually got another one just like it after the accident!! 90s chevy luminas are little tanks!! Wish mine wouldn't have died!! But anyways I'm just rambling lol I'm glad everybody is ok!!
  • Hope your day continues its upswing!

    Plus shame on anyone side eyeing you in the store! Kids are difficult and anyone who has had them should be understanding! Plus if this heat is making you miserable it's probably making them miserable too!
  • Hope you got some sleep. It feels much cooler in my part of England this morning. It's actually quite grey and miserable - much more like we're used to ;)
