sorry to hear that Spin, hoping for you all that everything turns out fine. Hugs.
Hungover today, had girls night out last night, a lovely dinner in a gorgeous pub, atmos was great, food was great, did secret santa etc, drank far too much white wine, ate far too much pudding.
Had a good and bad day today, managed to achieve alot (got T's new glasses, went to Sainsburys, bought boys new wellies, got their hair cut etc). But they took it in turns to be little buggers - T was a screamy contrary whinge bag all morning, while H was really good - then at my parents this afternoon Harry was a total nightmare, ignoring me, banging doors, crashing his truck into the walls, throwing cushions - I mean yes they were "throw" cushions, but that's not the point!! My parents couldn't wait for us to leave! Which was just such a shame, as they hadn't seen him properly for a week. They behave so badly at their house, it's not particularly geared up for kids there, but none the less he was being very naughty. And I realy don't know how to deal with it, I get really cross when we leave situations like that, and say I am very cross with him, and his behaviour is unacceptable and that he needs to sit still and be quiet and think about what he has done etc. But the only thing that seems to hit home is when I say "I'm going to tell your father about how you behaved" and he starts crying and begging me not to!! Withdrawing toys makes no difference....
Having said that, at lunchtime during Toby's sleep we had a lovely time, writing his letter to Father Christmas and drawing pictures on it etc. Such peaks and troughs all the time, and I feel such a shit when I have shouted at him, but it's hard to know how to control him!!
Busy weekend ahead, birthday party tomorrow. out to a drinks party tomorrow night, kids christmas party sunday. Phew.
have great weekends all, hope you all get some sleep, and you get some good news Spin.
