I just can’t get on top of it. I can’t make it nice. It’s a riot.
Two wee ones. Three and (almost) one. One year old crawls (and is batshit). The pair of them are trashing the place. It’s a small house and there are toys everywhere which is to be expected. But they get food everywhere. Water. Juice. Bodily fluids. Urgh. I am constantly mopping up after them.
House is dusty and needs a decent proper hoover but our hoover is shite and the pair of them are terrified of it so I chuck it round quickly while they scream. I am so busy making sure the one year old doesn’t die that I don’t have time to do anything through the day and then at night I either have to work or it’s a mental race against time to get the bare minimum done before bed.
Latest thing is we have mice. Fucking mice. We have put down loads of traps but they are eating the bait and not triggering them. So I’m going to have to book the council to come but they’ll put down poison which I really didn’t want because young children but I’m not seeing an option.
I feel so down. The place also needs redecorated so badly. A new carpet in the living room. But we are so skint just now. So skint.
