To be hiding in the hallway mnetting...

[HerrenaHarridan]

Because awaiting me is ;

poonami clear up ( abandoned to take dd to shower, this was way beyond wipes)
Two lots of dinner clear up ( because I utterly destroyed the first one )
The nappy wash after 2 days of teething nappies.

I'm tired, dd has some sort of gunky eye thing, a snotty wheezy cold and is teething. She has had that whiny edge to her voice all day and my brain feels like old sock soup.

Ok, I guess I should wind up this self pitying whinge and go sort it out.

Any motivation going spare would be greatly appreciated.

Umm..., I've got some (excess) motivation for more mumsnetting, if that's any good? No?

Good luck... I hope your evening improves!

It won't be fun, but it won't go away by itself. So move yer arse and then when it's done, get yourself a glass of whatever/ chocolate/ cake and relax!

Throw the shitty clothes in the bin.

Buy some disposable nappies for days when there's loads of teething poo.

Make sandwiches for dinner or fishfingers or something.

Do you only have one child?

Save today's memory and laugh about how you got flustered about it when you have two or more.

Ha!
Two? No fucking way!

Finally have house straight again bar the huge pot of tomato sauce I poisoned and the stain on the high chair that not even bleach would touch

Clean sheets on my bed and I'm freshly showered so going to bed tonight will be unmitigated pleasure

I feel your pain Herrena. After my teething 13 wo too early for teething my arse finally exhausted himself at 9, I lay in the bath and swigged mini eggs from the tube. I can heartily recommend it

Lying in a hot bath with a glass of Scotch works for me. Beware lightheadedness when exiting bath though!
