I am in a foul temper today

[ailbhe]

I'm irritable, angry, and my feet hurt. I have a terrible feeling that my fabulous red boots with the fleece lining are going to have to go the way of all funky footwear - my feet changed size too much while pregnant with Emer and a lot of my old shoes are unwearable now.

I'm also annoyed by my contraceptive implant. The people who claim it's not noticable once it's inserted clearly don't use their upper arms as much as I do. And I have another terrible feeling, this time that it will cause me to bleed forever and ever.

But I did get a lot done today, though that didn't include sorting the girls' dinner out before 5 pm, because if I have to get them through another meal alone today I'll mash them into bits and shout at the remains. So we canhave a family dinner of tinned soup later on and Rob can be the disciplinarian for a change.

Oh my goodness, yes, children and mealtimes.

Finally this week Tim and I snapped completely, and now we have a set of rules put together by all five of us (Felicity's was 'no spiders' *g*), and sticker charts on the wall. One warning or no warnings during a meal, one sticker on the chart. Ten stickers and the child gets one to one time with Mummy or Daddy doing something fun (and free or very cheap!)

Good luck... with tonight's meal! *Hugs*

I've just been to the family SEAL course this morning at DD1s school & learnt that each class sets it's own rules & responsibilities & it was suggested that we do the same at home. I'm going to do that this weekend so that the 4 of us can have input.

I've just started cooking mine & Andy's dinner half an hour early as I'm hungry now & don't want to wait til 7.15 ish when Andy is due back home. Neither Kate or Holly ate much of their dinner earlier :/ I shall put i down to them having colds & not my cooking!

Actually, I now recall that when I am following the slimming world eating plan & no filling myself up on chocolate, that I am unable to last until 7 / 7.15 ish pm for my dinner.

Good thing you are not lj friends with someone on my list. One of his friends suggested that it is ok for ugly girls to commit suicide in their teens as they should not be allowed to breed. I took a dislike to this statement & have been flamed by 2 people for it. As I'm in a good mood myself, I have held back form letting rip, but will un-friend this person (even though he was only indirectly at fault, but he did agree with the bloody comment) if I get flamed further this evening.

I am assuming that none of these people are parents or indeed actually mature adults.

I would probably be extremely verbally abusive to those people, yes. My daughters do not have to meet arbitrary culturally determined standards of attractiveness in order to deserve to live.

Jesus FUCKING Christ on a FUCKING bike.

Part of me wants him to respond again, but really it's best if he doesn't.
