Dissolving with the Dawn

Ever feel like the Gods are conspiring against you? Fear not, they are not. They are all after me, I promise.

The things you think are simple, turn out to be impossible!!! for example task 1 today was to check my account at the cash machine. I pull up at the co-op I lock my offspring in the car and I 'nip' in. Of course its packed in there!!! everyone has 'nipped' in, in the middle of the school run!!! GRRR

and of course the machine is 'out of order' but they're 'sorry for the inconvenience' I doubt that very much!!!

task 2~ drop the smalls off at school.

so we endure the usual morning mayhem and we've pointlessly popped to the shop. answer me this, how are we 30mins early? ever tried making a 6,5 and 2yr old sit in a stationary car for 30mins? I have, 2 days in a row!!!!!! and im now a nervous wreck for life :(

so the 30mins is up and me and my cacophony blunder our way past the headmaster. row, stamp our feet and end up physically placing the offspring inside the classroom and walking away. (well I say walking, I still have the 2yr old in tow. don't think moving a stroppy 2yr old across a playground and into a car can be described as walking really)

back to task 1 and we find ourselves at the garage. of course the whole of sheppey are in here even thou Tesco is much cheaper!!! oh and joy, they're all using the cash machine. which incidently told me to piss off :(

but that's ok Task 3 is not being able to buy car insurance on my over priced pc for the 3rd day in a row.

onto Task 4~ fit the new TV aerial that the hero has kindly supplied so I am no longer paying BT £50 a month for nothing. So I work out how to fit the ends on the cable. hoorah I am a technical genius it seems!!! I have a good ten minuets of "who needs men,  I am super woman, master of my own destiny and totally independent" whilst im pining the wire along the skirting board with random household objects.

until I finally get downstairs and discover its not long enough.

Its fine, I am super woman remember. we will just start again and run it off a different aerial. I take a deep breath and work out I have approximately 15mins before peppa pig finishes and mummy duties commence. I rip up the cable Ive ruined a perfectly good pair of shoes laying and I re-lay it.

Hoorah it fits!!!!!

Bugger, its still not working.

I enter a pit of despair. I am NOT super woman. I DO need a man and im totally incapable. But all of this will have to wait while I eat toast, walk the dog and endure another school run. A school run that includes pulling over halfway home to console a 6yr old that no-one wanted to play with today. Finally we wipe away tears and he gets off my lap and back into his car seat so we can go home and eat sausages.

I ache, I really ache. But I've put my day to bed and im still here, just as I was this morning when it all began. How do you explain to a 6yr old that no matter how bad today was tomorrow will come anyway and the irritations of today will dissolve with the dawn?
