Where to start?

Today was a hard day for me. Yes, in terms of suckiness, using the entire world and all its issues as a guide, not all that hard. But relatively, using my own personal suck-o-meter, it was hard. There were tears, tantrums, attitudes, messes involving sunscreen, nappy rash cream, one relatively expensive teeny bottle of eyedrops squeezed out, one head injury (she's okay), stinking hot weather, and humidity that made me want to vomit. Oh, and two raw, bloody ankles because the baby got her 'mittens' off, and went to town scratching them. It was a relentless day, and I'm so relieved to be on this side of it. It was a four jelly doughnut, potato chips, crackers and dip, waaay too much Coca-cola, if I'd had a plate of nachos I'd have devoured it without a second thought kind of day. A "hey kids, it's cereal for dinner!" kind of day. And now, I think I'll retire, drink this cup of tea, and read a completely trivial and superficial novel, and hopefully sleep well and dream of nice things. Like kids who don't scream at me, and weather that never gets humid. Ever.
