Stayed home with kids in the morning and a friend picked Alexander up for his first sleepover at about 11, then headed off to the house. SPD playing up today I think cos of all of the sitting cross-legged yesterday while sanding and painting the skirtings.
Cheryl came to help too but she wasn't in the right mood either so we didn't motivate each other much.
We opened the second tin of gloss and it's the wrong colour :( they say on the tin to allow for slight variations of colour but to me it looks totally different and I can't use it unless I repaint ALL of the skirting boards and the window frame in the living room - and that colour also has to do my bedroom. And I don't like it as much as I like the previous tin. It's more of a mustard brown. And I can't just take it back and complain because well, I'd have to take it back to OBAN which just isn't going to happen.
Meanwhile Kathryn was across the road with someone from toddler group who has a daughter the same age as Kathryn but within about half an hour or so she brought her back as she'd been crying and looking for me and very upset. So then I had a little helper too. She WAS very good, just not very motivating!
Cheryl left at about 12.30 so me & Kathryn had a cuppasoup and some crackers for our lunch then sanded down a door and tried to make the first tin last to do the doorframe but ran out. at which point I completely gave up. Just feeling generally overwhelmed.
So we walked home and had to go beg some milk off of adam's mum (who is busy doing paperwork stuff today so couldn't have kathryn) as we have none and I've put Kathryn for a nap although I'm not even sure if she's gonna sleep. I really hope she does I need some peace & quiet. :(
Hopefully Adam & I'll get some more done tonight. :(
