THIRSTY THURSDAY
The moody teenager has just come home with a pocket full of woes that had not even been invented when I was his age, the small one has just had his third swimming lesson in as many days and is getting extremely tired and I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a meltdown in our immediate future, and Mr mr has replaced some lightbulbs in the house and made me go on a lightbulb replacement tour when I got back from Gore when all I wanted to do was lie on my bed and watch Tik Tok and not learn my lines for Mum’s the Word 2: Teenagers, Rep House, end of next month, tickets out now.
This weather is doing my head in, icy rain and deep bone chill, and getting out of bed in the morning is getting harder and harder with every passing day. I’m absolutely finished with being cold, the only good thing about it being that my rings dangle a bit on my finger and that makes me feel wealthy for some toxic reason I’m too cold and tired to winkle out of my brain.
I’m also being a total baby because I’ve had something on every night this week between rehearsals and things I said yes to after wine, and I am a complete sook about leaving the house once the kids get home. And I’m going back to Barre tomorrow morning, which I love - once I’m there - so until then I’ll be a snotty brat and stomp around and generally be a horrible person and worry about what pants to wear.
Plus I went to the physio this week and she led me into their mini gym, much to my horror. There I was, in jeans and straight after a dumpling mukbang lunch at Mo Mo Ghar, so I ended up doing bonus pelvic floor exercises because I kept feeling like I was going to fill the room with toxic gas.
I’ve also got an itchy nose and am fantasising about getting the mini bottle brush that comes with reusable straws and scouring the inside of my Okay sorry, I’ve just come back after the kids had a scrap over a device and so I made them do this salt hand scrub thing I saw on Tik Tok to dispel negative energy and then chased the teen around the house with the little one’s birthday nerf bazooka thing (My children will never play with guns! My children will never have video games!) and now I’m just enjoying watching Mr mr make dinner through the scope and now I have to go and fix my hair and put on makeup but at least my hands are lovely and soft.
