The breakdown of my day:
- 9am - drop DS off for first day at preschool. Got permission from boss to start late but it was made very clear he wasn't impressed. Had made sure nothing suffered for me being late.
10.30 - told the interview for the internal promotion I was due to have at 1.30pm has been postponed to a date TBD.
4.15-4.45. Went through how stuff works with new boss. I had his position and gave it up after children because they wouldn't let me go part time. My choice but I do miss my job.
4.55. In car to go home. DH phones in a state because he has a black tie dinner tonight and he can't do his tie and has 5 mins to sort it before he leaves. He's never been able to tie a tie and couldn't find his predone one. Baffled why he left it so late. He was stressed, I calmed him down and we got it sorted. Would have appreciated a thank you message afterwards.
5.30 get back after horrendous traffic to relieve nanny. Baby is clingy (fine when I'm not here). Won't be put down. Toddler 'needs' 6 wees and 2 poos in an hour. Baby does poo too. Both desperate for attention.
6pm - try to feed baby whilst with DS, she is too distracted and won't feed.
6.30pm, baby in bath (no hot water, see black tie).
6.45 - settling baby, DS calls for help with a wee. Leave baby and prays she settles.
7pm - DS in brief bath. Baby cries. Keeps crying. Leave DS watching traffic to calm
baby. fail.
7.20 - put DS in bed with a story, meanwhile baby is screaming. Say goodnight to DS and go to baby. DS cries the moment I leave.
7.45. Finally get baby to sleep. Go downstairs. DS cries for water. Back up 2 flights of stairs.
8pm. Finally get a drink after being at home since 5.30.
