So ill. So annoyed at DP. Lost all perspective. I've had a really nasty cold for over a week. It's been 7 days since I last breathed through my nose. The resultant congestion has been like having a permanent red wine hangover, without having touched a drop. Decongestants aren't shifting the bulk of it, but have produced the delightful side effect that I keep dribbling see through greenish water. A lot of it. I was stuffing tissue up my nose last night and it was soaked through and dripping within 10 minutes. All night, so I kept waking with a wet face, having to shift around the towel I was sleeping on so I didn't leak onto the pillow. I can hardly swallow or speak. All movement is made at the pace of an arthritic 80 year old after a long horse ride.
DP has invited people (mostly his friends, one of our mutual friends) over for an egg hunt and BBQ this weekend. Some are staying over, so the bedrooms need sorting out to accommodate guests, the garden wants tidying and the house needs decluttering for all the kids to hunt eggs. DP will have one day to do all that, so it won't get done because he'll spend 4 hours going to the butchers for the BBQ meat, so I will get left trying to do the bulk of it.
I asked DP yesterday if he could take DS3(3) to nursery this morning so I could sleep in. It would make him 10 minutes late for work, but that's not a set in stone start time, he could've checked yesterday that his colleague would be in on time to open up. He's going to be working late tonight anyway so an extra 10 minutes won't make that much difference. He said no, they're all trying to get everything done so no one (4 staff on site) has to go on over the Easter weekend. Unless they get a call, in which case they are in anyway. For the sake of him not being 10 minutes late, when it doesn't matter a huge amount, I have to drag myself and the small one the 10 minute walk to nursery in the gales still blowing around, across an open park so it'll be really buffeting about. Then come back, and only then can I go to bed to try and get some rest. Except I won't be able to sleep properly because I've already been up and out so woken myself right up. I have to do the return journey at 1 to collect DS3 then will be on my own with him and the other DSs until around 8.
Have I lost the plot entirely and fallen into a snot lined pit of self pity, or is DP being a cockwombling arseface?
