So I may have missed my entry last night due to having too many drinks at lunch . It was meant to be a lunch with Nick, my sister, her husband and myself but Nick had to work so it just ended up being my sister and I and we got very merry. We had our first cocktail at midday and then I was home at 5pm to “help” with the kids and I just got that look from Nick which spoke so many words. It was a very judgemental look. And I get it. I would totally look at him exactly the same if I worked all day then came home to look after the kids alone and he rocked up jolly and drunk. In saying that though, I told him I would be home at 5 and I was home at 5. Pretty sure he has never in his life arrived home when he said he will be home so maybe if he came home on time drunk I would actually be happy.
We got Betty’s burgers and I power ate that before we went to bed. I woke up 50 times to drink water which is lucky because I was still a bit dusty in the morning so imagine if I didn’t have the water intake. Nick was at work when I woke up so it was just me and the kids which was a bit of a challenge but I feel like I nailed getting out the door this morning. We decided to go to the markets which I won’t be doing again without help. Absolute nightmare. The double pram doesn’t fit anywhere and then paddy was not wanting to sit in it so was getting lost from me but also, it was so hard to hold any of the shopping. I’ll probably just stick to the supermarket while the kids are this little. One win is that we saw some friends and had a play at the park while we were there which was nice.
When we got home the kids napped and then my friend and her son came over for a play. We had the best afternoon! She actually saved this household. I swear my friends are superhero’s. She did so much around the house for me while I was cooking for everyone. The housework had piled up too because I decided to leave the house both Thursday and Friday so I wasn’t able to do all I usually do so having some helping hands was so amazing. Women are so helpful. I think it comes from an understanding of other women and how much we have on our plates. Even though Nick lives with me I don’t think he really has any understanding of how much I actually have to do around here. But then my friend who is a mother that I hardly ever see completely knows what I need and how I feel.
