Help me out of this funk

Stuck in today as eldest (2yrs) vomited this morning. Yesterday we spontaneously got a chippie and it's the first time he's ever eaten one so think it didn't agree with him. He's been fine since and acting like he was never sick. Anyway I am struggling being stuck inside with them, absolutely bored to tears and staring at my phone all day except to deal with their basic needs which makes me feel like a terrible mother.
It's pissing with rain and my husband is at work so I am solo.

Everything about them is annoying me today. Eldest is chewing on his own clothes and has a big damp patch on his chest from it which is frankly just revolting. I don't even want to touch him. Youngest (1yr) is climbing all over me all the time.

I know this is normal child behaviour but their messiness, dirtiness and neediness are driving me up the wall today but mostly it is just the mind bending tedium of young children that is getting to me.

I love them and am obviously in an abominably sour mood today. How do I change my mindset, get out of this funk and try to enjoy the rest of my day? Thanks in advance.

Put them in the bath with some bubbles for a change of scene. If your youngest is stable enough you can clean the bathroom around them and that’s one room done.
