Hiya!

Next -

having nightmareish day. I thought maternity leave was supposed to be less stressful than work but lately it seems to be so much more stressful.

Today i am looking after DD and DS and trying to pack and clean the house before we set off at 5pm when DH gets home from work. Its simply impossible to do anything at all.

DS currently watching a film and DD fretful/not happy bunny.

Add in to the mix that DH checked our hive of bees yesterday and now I can't go outside to empty the car becuase the bloody bees are waiting for me.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

right dd asleep and ds watching film now so trying to actually get something done. Sorry for winging. Another poor nights sleep getting to me.
