To start on the wine this evening, even though it's only Monday?

[Apparentlychilled]

I feel knackered and hacked off. DH went to London at 8am yesterday to watch the match at Wembley and then stayed there for work all week. He'll be home about 10pm on Friday. I've had 2 DC all of last 2 days (other than 4 hours when DD was at preschool today). On paper, it's all been fine, and I've had play dates, trips to baby group, library etc. we've had usual amount of stroppyness (sp?) but they've actually been fine. PIL are usually available for a friendly cup of tea/break but are away. DS has done a poo in the bath, so I've just miltoned the bath after doing bedtime for him. About to put DD to bed, the start usual evening routine of all parents (tidy, make dinner, get ready for tomorrow). I'm knackered and I feel like I'm a crap, shouty mum. On one hand I feel like a glass of wine has been well earned as I haven't actually shouted that much but I'm just wiped out.

I am so tired I feel as if my brain has been wrung out. I'm thinking of moving the clocks forward so I can send the children to bed really (like now!) and turn in myself.

So, have that wine. And one for me too.

Hell no. Perfectly reasonably.

Please have a very large glass for me too knackered also, but 33 weeks pg

I'd like to drink wine every night actually but I do fear the slippery slope of dependency so I don't. However nobody will know in your case so it won't count. ]

Have the wine. I'm going to!!

Apparently

Here it is . Drink up. I think you deserve 2. Things can only get better.

(My DH has been away for 14 days, came home for 2, then went off to Holland on Sunday and is home tomorrow night - feel v alone atm)

Am just finishing my G&T. See? Look at my Devil-may-care attitude!

Go for it.

Cheers all !

blue - I feel your pain- DH has been working 6 days a week since early Jan, and I feel so lonely atm, and fed up of it. And yet, I feel like I should just suck it up and not struggle with him being away.
