yikes

I am having a bad day of it I think. Nothing major, just little things like, so far this morning I have:

  • stood in front of the wrong elevator while the other one opened and shut and left without me
  • when going to get out of the carpark - forgot I had to put ticket in to open the boom gate, so drove car right up the left side to make a big turn, only to have to stop the car, put it in park, with park break, wind down the window AND open the door to put the carparking ticket in.
  • then I tried to drive out with the car still in "park".
  • then I realised I had come the wrong exit anyway
  • got stuck in traffic trying to get back to the road I needed to get to
  • basically slammed on the breaks to stop at a GREEN light. Granted, it was one of those stupid Japanese lights that has a green straight ahead arrow, with a big round red light above it, so I am giving myself the benefit of the doubt for that one, lol And there were no cars behind me, thank goodness.
  • mounted the kerb going through the Maccas drive thru (thought a choc mcshake and cheeseburger would "fix" me, I know, I know, was gonna be "good".....no more junky food from tomorrow, I promise, lol)

    ok, so it is all basically car related things. makes me think maybe I just shouldn't be driving!!

    I had a good sleep last night, first time in a while. I have been having trouble sleeping, tossing and turning trying to get comfy. Lying on one side on the futons was making my legs ache. So last night it was back to the bed, with the nice comfy matress, but less room for us to sleep - futons give us more room to "breath" and escape from K's relentless kicking during the night. I set up a a side-car type bed for K on the side of our bed. It is too cold to be sleeping in different rooms, sleeping together keeps us all warmer, esp K who ALWAYS kicks off the blankets. I bought her a sleeping bag, but she won't wear it, actually, she has started taking her p.j.pants off at night too, which I think she got from J, who sleeps in just undies. Anyways, I have to keep covering her all night too so she doesn't freeze!
    Have also been a bit off in general the last few days - tummy is crampy and I haven't had much of an appetite at all. I think I am gonna have a cruisy afternoon, bugger the housework, am gonna put on my uniqlo room pants and read magazines while K naps.

    1. You deserve a drink!!! What a day! Now if you were driving like that everyday I would just say you were a bad driver but all on one day it just has to be a bad day. Hopefully tommorrow is better.

      Understand the sleeping arrangements totally! We have two king single beds side by side (gifts) and it starts out two of us sleeping there then becomes 3 then 4 then 5. It's more like 4 of us in one bed and hubby in the other. I just hope noone rolls on the 1 year old and that the 3 year old doesn't wet the bed.

      Hope you start feeling better soon

    2. haha, a drink WOULD be nice - a whole bottle might be better. I forgot to mention that K had 2 super-duper tantrums today - one was when trying to get out of the house for the dog's walk this morning, and one was just now, after nap, all about coming downstairs. It was an hour long tanty, nothing I could do - not even being NICE helped!! aaarrggh.

      I also have the "fear" of K wetting the bed - she sleeps in just undies for naps, but still nappies overnight. Most of the time they are dry, but sometimes they are wetter than a newborn! Still nighttime nappies for a while, me thinks. And yeah, why is it hubby always gets the most space?? lol.

    3. oooh I`ve had days like that and I`m not even pregnant ;P

      Sleeping arrangements sound very similar, two king singles next to each other then Alex in the middle and she is a big mover, ends up sideways, her feet in my face and head on daddy`s side.
      Haven`t reached the toilet training stage yet tho..something else to look forward to ;)

      What is it with daddy getting a whole bed to himself..bubba`s gravitate to mamma and memory of boobies perhaps?
