The 'sickie'!

I only work one day a week, not even a day really. 6 hours tops! That is enough with 4 kids and a household to run. I managed 2 shifts when there were 3 kids but I know I'm not Super mum and I do not want to run myself down. I very rarely ring in sick, even if the kids are a little off I know they are in perfectly capable hands with my mother. But I did it, I called in for a day off. Told my DON that I was in real need of a mental health day! I'm in real need of a mental health week, month, year!

We as a family, have had a huge week, early on our 2 littlies had colds and viral infections. Then the seizure drama with our Princess, which she seems to have gotten over. Mr Crankypants and I on the other hand, haven't! We have gone from being quite laid back, relaxed type parents to overbearing paranoid freakazoids!! Even the 2 year old is copying us, calling out to his sister "are you OK A?" instead of "quiet A!". And now to top it all off, our big boy the teen has a cold and it is having a party with his asthma!

I need to scream!! Or punch someone (I have a few people in mind)!

So it is looking like my mental health day won't be spent relaxing and taking in/making sense of the drama that has unfolded but much of the same everyday business that I tend too..........washing, cleaning, cooking, washing and cleaning some more etc

Still I don't have to get up extra early, or leave the house! The pyjamas WILL be staying on :)
