Today's been one of those days 😣
I have a wilful two and a half year old and she has been a complete monster today. DH is working till goodness knows what time tonight and I feel utterly burnt out so apologies for the vent on here.
She fell off the bed and I wasn't quick enough to catch her (not hurt, but she wasn't expecting to fall) so first lot of snotty tears happened before 8.00 am. Didn't want her breakfast, so I threw away her congealed scrambled egg at 9.30 - second lot of tears. She's snapped my necklace (grabbed hold and yanked it) while I was rescuing her from herself, this time tears from us both. As the day progressed she has taken off her nappy and wee'd on the floor while I was making lunch, drawn all over her hands and then wiped her felt-tippy fingers all over my white top, posted my car keys out of the front door and sung that fucking baby shark song god knows how many times.
Firstly - aside from when she's been asleep and for about 30 mins when I've had to quickly do the lunch/dinner/go for a wee she's had my full attention all day.
Secondly - I might be slightly exhausted. Our loooonnnggg awaited holiday starts on FRIDAY!
But I swear to all the angels and the baby Jesus... if you'd asked me an hour ago if she was for sale you could have had her for free. It's been a day of challenges and now she's safely in bed I can escape outside for a sneaky fag and a cider.
She's either late with the terrible twos or early with the threenagers.
