Does anyone else have those days when you feel so old it just makes you want to cry? Well, I'm having one today. I haven't stopped all day but i've been doing things like taking ds to toddler group,attacking the laundry mountain,and putting the kitchen back together after a recent disaster.I've had builders in for the past 2 weeks and when today I finally thought it was all sorted , the washing machine went on the blink so I think we're going to need a new one.More money. And to top it all off, while I scurried around this evening dh lounged on the sofa watching tv all evening.I felt like we had finally turned into my parents. Don't get me wrong ,he's normally really good but he's having a rough time at work at the moment and is really grumpy about it and about all the work in the house and the fact that said house seems to be falling down around our ears.
I couldn't help but think wistfully about being 18 and smooching with strange boys in discos and the only worries being whether you can afford a new dress to go out on saturday night.
Moan moan moan . Sorry.Just needed to get it off my chest.
