Having a bad day

Hi need some sympathy quick.
DS2 has been lucky enough to be picked to go with school to the England Match at Wembley today.
Even though he is a twin, he is still the baby of the family, lacks confidence and although puts on hard man act, is soft and naive.
Anyway, I have felt bad all morning, but to be positive, dh is at work, and was going to take DS1 and DD to Subway and shopping to get a footie shirt for DS1 (out of his paper round money) and tights for DD for her halloween outfit, lovely fluffy day for three.
Its all gone pear shaped, go them out to the car, had a few things to do in garage, came out, dd had gone, they had had a blue and she is stomping off around the corner. No probs, I thought, will stop car and jokingly tell her we are a taxi to the shops, She is not coming she informs me, I lose rag, as DS2 was up at 1.30 this morning, playing on X box ready to go on trip and I couldn't get back, work worries keeping me awake all week.

I have now refused to go to Subway or take them shopping, they tried to pretend that they had made up, but by now I have had enough and am not playing.

Now feel v. frustrated and even more sad. DS2 has just phoned and he is at Wembley, I am fighting back tears.

Aw kk. At least they are pretending they have made up... can you not just try to forget what has happened, go out and make the best of a bad day? Or are they still playing up?

Take a deep breath, and then follow your original plan. They're not babies anymore. They're old enough to know that you're human, and under stress.

If you don't go, you'll just feel worse.

Please don't cry. It sounds like you're tired and fed-up, so a little shopping and something good to eat might cheer you up.

And I'm sorry you've got work worries .. That can't be helping.

DD has just written me a lovely Sorry card, and she is worried about me, as she has read my diary where is says I am v. Stressed and my relationship with DH is screaming out for attention. True but we love each other, so it is mendable.
I am going to take your advice, chill out and go out.

Thanks, just what i always know I will get here, a virtual cuddle and TLC

Thanks, I do appreciate it.

Excellent!

Hope you are having a lovely afternoon

kkgirl · 13/10/2007 19:17

We did have a lovely afternoon, but I didn't let them go to the shops that they wanted to, just so that they know that they behaviour wasn't acceptable and affected me.

Thx for the support

Pleased you had a nice day afterall and ds2 will be thrilled that England won

Mke the most of them, they might be little sh...s but they're with you. My oldest Ds1 (17) has left home and now lives with his friend. It's gutting me to speak to him normally and not beg him to come home.. Every time I look at Xmas stuff I get sad 'cos I'm not sure if he's going to be here or if the evil witch he's living with (his friend's mom) is going to suggest Barbados or somewhere exciting ti him and he'll go.They were wrong to fight but make sure your diary is locked away too. If I wrote verything down about my DH we'd be divorced for sure!!!

To top it all DS2 came in from Wembley tired and over excited and went in to a blind rage accusing DS1 of messing up his room. His room is a mess because he has just had a new bed and now needs a wardrobe to hang his clothes in. I had just chucked a few pair of trousers and footie shirts that are too small for DS1 in there!!!

Sweet!!!!!
