DB - what a crapola day Glad your brother is okay.
I have not had a bad day but my dh is ever so annoying I got up at 7, got the dcs dressed and sorted, baby fed, and then headed off for a run at 8am with the idea of being back at 8.45 so that he could take dd to nursery on his way to his office.
I return at 8.45, kids are still having breakfast (and not very well at that) - they should have been brushed, teeth done, shoes on ready to go. DH is still in PJs!!
DH finally leaves at 9.20 (nursery starts at 9.15 and is a 15 min drive away) with the instruction to leave the carseat there so that I can pick dd up at 12.15. I spend a pleasant morning with my boys.
Go to get dd as planned, of course there is a fund raising bake & jumble sale on that dh was given a flier about yesterday but neglected to tell me about so of course i look like the rubbish, non-baking, non-involved mum. I try to compensate by buying loads of jumble and then look for the carseat. The minute my back is turned, ds1 is on the cake stall like a ravenous beast. I am trying to contain him while simultaneously holding wriggling baby and looking for car seat which of course, it transpires, he drove off with. So then I am stuck there for another 30 mins waiting for him to come back with it, by which time I have bought untold amounts of jumble and the dcs have eaten ridiculous amounts of cake!! And I've had to make small talk with the Fleece Brigade.
roary - yes, moving back end of year but Sydney vastly different from Perth Yes online shopping well behind but I intend to change all of that plus fewer people + bigger shops + mum on hand to babysit = nicer shopping experience and fewer trips to post office for those dreaded returns!!!
