Hi all
Today I'm posting for two days because for the first time since I started I completely forgot yesterday (hope that's not a bad omen) & now I have to make my aged brain work to remember if anything significant happened yesterday.........................& I don't believe it did.
I remember breakfast yesterday as I woke up fancying something cheesy & (as it was too early to have it then) I had Crunchy Bran & leftover fruit salad topped off with 0% Greek yoghurt. It was ok for a change but the yoghurt is too stiff to have with cereal so it was all a bit dry. Next time I'll do it with runny yoghurt - I will do it again as it made a good change & fruit on its own isn't enough for me.
In any event when I went to make my lunch I realised there was no cheese - one of life's great conundrums (in my own universe) is why do my family finish things and not put them on the list???????????
Quite disappointing but not earth-shatteringly desperate I suppose :)
Instead I made a salad with some cold chicken & took some berries, a nectarine & a banana to have during the day (I drank loads because it was still very warm yesterday despite the excessive rainfall).
After work I went to the butcher & bought some mince - Dom, Toby & his friend were at home and I knew they'd enjoy some spaghetti bolognese. It's so easy but I don't make it that often (It's also Sin Free which makes it extra delicious) - I made loads thinking there would be some left over but it went down too well & all that was left were pans to wash.
I never did have any cheese :-(
[Sorry I have to go now & sort dinner - will be back later......................]
So I'm back now having had dinner & lost my temper ;( I knew it was too good to last.
I seem to have bred particularly lazy &, this evening, rude children who seem to think it's OK to take me for granted - I FEEL TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY THE MEN IN MY HOUSE (Andrew is just as bad).
Surely it isn't too much to ask them to clear off the table once in a while, wash up may be & even clear up after themselves. Could they load the dishwasher rather than leave things on top? Could they wash up where necessary rather than leave things 'to soak' - Andrew's favourite trick so that when I come down in the morning the sink is full of dirty (& now greasy plates) that still need washing up. What's excuse for not helping? He's been working all day - well whoopee do I've clearly been sitting in front of Jeremy Kyle, eating chocolate & doing nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooh it makes me so mad.
I know that they think I'm just having a rant & I'll get over it - the truth is I will but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like hell just now.
I also realise that I've only got myself to blame because it's my job to look after them all - I enjoy looking after them all, I'd just like to feel looked after sometimes......
It's really taken the shine off my lovely day.
I had my nails done this morning - lovely pale pink to make my hands look tanned (it's worked a bit!).
Then to the deli & off to Westfield with Tobz to do holiday shopping for him.
We had a lovely day (after a grumpy start) and we got everything he wanted. Stopped for lunch at the salad bar (well I did - Toby had fried fish in yummy looking batter) and home by 4pm.
Then I went out to get Dom some school/shul shoes - had to spend a lot of money because he's got such big feet but I'm hoping they'll last (they'd better!).
OH - well tomorrow's another day.
Lx
