A Day At Home

So DP slept in until 10am. By then I'd given the little ones breakfast, done a stack of dishes, put on 3 loads of washing and taken DS 13 to school. I even washed DP's shoes with a cushion DD 4 had puked on last week. He hasn't mentioned them yet and it's 2.30pm, he's gone to the bathroom so I'm on his computer.

When he got up I said there was something to pick up at the post office in his name. It would be something I ordered on Ebay but I use his account. He said he would stay home with the girls so I could go and pick it up, and I said I wasn't sure I could because it was in his name. I think I've done it before to be honest, but I wanted him to get out of the house. Instead he rang the post office and said "I believe there's a parcel I need to pick up"... anyway, once it was found he asked if he could have someone else pick it up - bastard. That's all I could think as I walked there, not because I had to but I thought it would be nice to go with the girls. When I got home he was thinking about lunch, it was only 11am. DD 4 had been asking if it was lunch time since 9.30am though, I'd given them bananas and water. DD 4 only drinks water at pre-school apparently, so I'd even made cordial before DP got up - water, sugar, citric acid and strawberry essence. Apparently it tastes like "Scooby Doo drinks" that we buy.

DP made lunch for himself and the girls at 11.40am, I ate at 12pm because I had to defrost spring rolls - they had cheese on toast. I cuddled DD 1 until she fell asleep at 1.15pm then I've been cooking cupcakes again. The others didn't last long - never do in this house LOL Soon I'll go and pick up DS 13, though I hope DD 16 gets home before I go because DD 1 is sound asleep still and with DP in the bathroom I don't want her to wake up and think she's alone. I can't leave DD 4 watching TV either, I'm not comfortable with that. Anyway, DP has been on the computer since he got up... grrrr as usual.
