Phew...it’s been one of those days. It started off well but has gone progressively down hill after that.
I walked and so have 1 point twowards my challenge. I also didn’t step on the scales which makes 2 points for today. I decided to sub this for the wine at the moment. At least until the kids go back to school.
I have eaten well so my cross attitude has solely to do with my kids...yes I love them to pieces but I am so cross with them right now. I just needed time to vent and time to cool off. I am dying to have a swim but need space to myself. I know as soon as they see my presence out side someone will play up. grrr
All I can hear is teasing and whining.
This morning I took them bowling. It’s not my favourite thing to do but I did it because I felt pressure from my neighbour. She wanted to give her kids a treat because she hadn’t done much in the vacation with them. I have and wallet is really is tight and we can’t afford it but I went because I felt guilty, first mistake.
I should have realised what I was in for when I got there. They have a gaming arcade and with the holiday deal we purchased you received 2 games, 2 tokens for the arcade , and lunch. The kids were ok through the game. I saw some terrible attitudes coming from my boys when they struck out. As soon as the game finished they used their tokens and then were back for more. It’s a great marketting scheme I must say. YOu get tokens and then tickets for a game well played, with the tickets you can purchase toys (junk) Therefore the more tokens you spend the more possibility of more tickets and better prizes. I wasn’t going to let the kids have any more. I felt they had enough of a treat with the bowling...well my DD decided that nagging was the key and spend the next hour trying to make me feel guilty.
I had to do grocery shopping with the kids in THIS mood and they highjacked the whole time. I certainly lay down the law when I came home and will be thinking of punishments. grrr. I know this sounds harsh but I really felt so used by them all. They are so privileged these kids. It makes me cross with they show that they are ungrateful by their actions. Mum’s wallet is constantly open to them as far as they are concerned and yet this is not something I have encouraged. I guess it’s back to being consistent. Somedays i feel as though I am walking a tightrope.
there’s my vent ...it’s all muddled but that’s me today. Hope your days were better
