JustKeepSwimming - DS1 has Cystic Fibrosis so has to have 12 different types of medicine 3 times a day plus physiotherapy, tis knackering and i dispise doing it everyday, harsh i know but it is just a phase i go through every now and again i shall be doing it without a care in the world again in a few days no doubt.

My Chilli has turned into Curried Mince as my dear sister though she would 'help' bulk it out and emptied half a pot of Indian Pickled vegtables in it, she can't cook so i wasn't to angry i just had to change the flavours and add some hot curry paste i made to disguse the pickle flavour.

Kids are being hell. Both tired. DS would normally have fallen asleep on the way back from nursery but because DD was in the car they bitched at each other. Now she is high pitched and whinging because he wants to watch different stuff and she wants to do craft which I said no to unless he was asleep. I have tried explaining that him sitting watching what HE wants makes him more likely to sleep, but she ain't getting it.

In the meantime I need to sort out my demo kit, but I am tired and want sleep and neither of them will let me.

Rargh.

[JustKeepSwimming]
