have just spent the afternoon at the party from hell.40+ kids running around screaming,while black lace played in the background.both ds's ended up crying.have now come home and i'm craving quiet and the kids are just driving me mad.I've reached that stage where their very prescence is annoying me.
dh is still away with work..should be home in the early hours of tomorrow.
really feel like i'm going to snap and start screaming....

Put them in the bath, lay on the floor in there (if there's room!) and relax for ten minutes while they play. Then glass of warm milk, into bed, one story and lights out by 6.30! FAB

Put a dvd on that you know they like.

then go and "wash up" on your own.
