I just can't seem to handle things very well on work days, as organised as I am and as early as I rise the mornings are stressful and as I get ready dd tears the place apart.
I pick her up from her dads at 5pm ish and arrive home to the bombsite I left, in which I try to make her a good meal while she hangs off the back of my leg crying, empties out the bin and the cupboards and tips the cat food out...
I do try to have something I've cooked beforehand ready to get out the freezer but all the same, I just get so wound up and tonight I thought I was just going to snap. I shouted at dd which I never do, I was impatient and horrible
Now she's in bed but instead of cleaning up all I want to do is put my head under the covers...
I love the time we spend together on my days off but just hate how stressed I become under these circumstances - how can I get it together???
