Wretched Wednesday

Today is, by far, the worst day of my life. No, the girls were really good even though Adrian had gone to Edinburgh. But I have NEVER EVER encountered so many bad incidents in one day! I'm feeling really lousy and don't want to go into the details.

I also received a call from my girlfriend today asking me to go over to her new place during the day to help her clean and hoover her house because they are running out of time and the new carpet's arriving. Thing is I have my parenting class to attend tomorrow morning and had planned to bring Lavigne to the library after that before picking Louisa up from school. Friday is no good either as I'm going out with my sister. I don't want her to think I'm unwillling to help since she'd helped us when we first moved here. I have now decided to bring Lavigne with me to her new house after my class tomorrow. Not ideal because a house under renovation is certainly not a place where a child should be and the drive will take about one hour both ways which leaves me with little time to clean since I have to come back to pick Louisa from school. But I don't have much choice. I have to reciprocate her kindness. I wish I'm better at negotiation and am more assertive but that's just me. Sometimes I wish people can be more understanding towards those with children and that life is not the same compared to pre-kid days.
