To want to cry with tiredness today?

(As a disclaimer I am 30 weeks pregnant). Today I had to do the school run this morning, go round tescos to get Christmas presents with the double up toy vouchers and drop them home. I then had to go on (what should have been) an hours bus journey to the big Sainsbury's on the other side of town as not one bloody shop in the town has any age 9-10 school trousers for DS1 (who has grown nearly 2 inches since September FFS) not even to order in until January. (Are dc not allowed to grow between Setemer and January, because if so, can they please tell my DC this). On the way there, the bus broke down, and we had to wait almost an hour for a replacement bus to turn up in the freezing cold and pissing rain at a stop with no bus shelter.

When I eventually got on the bus home, Some twatty barsteward tried to cut up the bus, that had to emergency brake to avoid a collision, and I've pulled my calf muscle trying to stop myself falling off the seat.

Got home, dropped off shopping, left to get DS2 without even taking my coat off. Took DS2 for a cake, whch he decided he didn't want then sulked and screamed because I wouldn't get him something else. (DS2 is 7 in 2 weeks, not 2yo BTW). Had to hang around in freezing cold and pissing rain again for an hour until DS1 finished his after school club, with DS2 paddying all the while.

DP was on a late shift, and was meant to do the washing up before he left for work. Did he do it? Did he fuck. So with a sore leg, I've ad to do all the washing up. (Disclaimer - he's usually really good and helpful, so can't really moan, he just chose a BAD day to not do it!

DD is in a shitty mood because her best 'friend' has decided that as DD isn't allowed to dress like a hooker wear very revealing clothes,that she can't hang around with her any more because DD is 'pissing with her rep'. And of course it's my fault because I think that a girl of not quite 13yo shold dress as a, erm, GIRL. NOT a prostitute.

And then DP tried to phone me about something trivial MIL's gluten free tinned spaghetti and if I'd picked up some. From work. At the time he knew I would be cooking the dc's dinner. And got miffed when I didn't answer.

SOOOOO...AIBU to fucking sob right now, as DP will not get in for another 20 mins??

What a fucking awful day. Poor you. My DH (prob unfairly) would have had both barrells for washing up/phone call timing - congrats on your show of restraint. Go and have a nice hot bath and good ol' cry.

YANBU - have a good sob and get it out of your system.

For future reference, you can double up your clubcard vouchers and spend them online. Also, shop online for all standard things like school uniform.

Get the older two children to clear up the kitchen and tell your dp to get a takeaway for his dinner.

I'd be exhausted after all that, and I'm not pregnant. So YANBU.

Demand to be treated at the weekend or whenever DP has day off work

I'd not thought about getting the school uniform online. Just traipsed round what feels like 200 shops trying to find some bloody trousers. DC...clean? Take more efort than doing it myself, tonight! DP is off on Thursday and Friday this week. He can do the fucking school runs then. I might consider not even getting out of bed to help him! It doesn't help that I know I've got a busy day tomorow as well. BAH!

Although looking on the bright side, the trousers I got for DS1, for some reason, instead of being £8.50 for 2 pairs were only £1 for two pairs!! Bargain of the century as far as I'm concerned.

DP has a microwave lasagne - I'm not compos mentis enough to cook him a proper meal at 9pm. And if he can't work a microwave by 35, I'd be worried! Grin

He's home now, and is sorting out getting DD to bed as she's still moody.

And it all starts again at 7am. Just finding it hard going these last 2 weeks, it feels like I'm carrying around a baby elephant now. I have GD and can't eat anything nice, and have been told that my baby is already over 5lb. I'm only 30+2. God only knows how big he's going to be in 7 weeks time when they want to induce me (37+3 is the provisional date...the 29th Dec Shock).
