I'm honestly almost in tears, this is the first time I have sat down since 7am and my head is splitting.
Asked the DDs (7,6 and 3) what they wanted to do today, a picnic in the park, no they wanted the pool out I though ok this is our week of summer well get the pool out (it's been out a few days already) went to asda this morning bought ice lollies, cones, donuts as a treat, rubber rings for the pool, cand hone started to blow the thing up inbetween housework.
Filled the pool with cold turned tap off went to make lunch, the next thing the pool is overflowing, a fairy must have turned the tap back on! Had to take the excess out by hand with a bucket, next to put warm water in to take the chill off, 15 buckets and kettles of water later all carried out by hand it's ready, DDs go in fight and scream at each other, 2 yo DS is making muddy puddles and being a 2yo, now they are out saying its too cold.
My day has just been a string of one job after the other like the last few I'm so fed up. They just don't bloody listen I catch DD2 doing done thing a 2 yo would do, they bicker constantly and it's all mum mum mum.
To make matters worse DP is off running a marathon.
I spent 2 hours filling that fecking pool. I'm snapping at them constantly and feel terrible.
What I wouldn't give for an hour on my own doing nothing.
