Crap Weekend..

This weekend has been pretty crap. Lots of tension in the flat. My youngest, E, continues to try to sort out her stuff. That's all the stuff she bought back from uni. My older daughter, R, and her are frequently bickering and yelling about something or other. Music continually blaring from the bedrooms, which winds me up no end. I went down to her room and turned it down, as you may well imagine she was not amused, it wasn't long before she turned it up again.

I think the next few days are still going to be difficult. I think it's going to take a while for E to settle back into home life and accept that she cannot do as she probably has for the last 9 months living in her own place. I bet by the time she does settle down it'll be time for her to return to uni, she has another 2 years to go!

It's crazy, when E left to go to uni I was very upset. I missed her a lot and found it difficult to get used to her being away, being my youngest baby and all that. Now she's back it raises feelings in me I don't quite understand. I guess because you get used to a situation and then its all upheaval again. Can't live with 'em, cant live without 'em.

Then comes the issue of mealtimes. I usually don't mind cooking. Fairly simple healthy food most of the time. But having one with total dairy allergy, one vegetarian and still accommodating the likes and dislikes of us all, it makes cooking a rather tiring chore. Added to that everyone comes home at different times expecting, hoping for something nice to eat. I am not running a cafe here is what they need to understand. I work full time and perhaps it would be nice to come home sometimes and be cooked for - I dream on ...

I don't think it helps that I seem to be entering that PMS time of the month, where I find it hard to tolerate anything I find I don't particularly like.

Th weather has been completely crap as well, it's been very cold, dull and wet. Not conducive to a day out at all. Then it's going to be back to work tomorrow for another 5 days, I could scream, I so need something "nice" to happen.

Maybe next weekend....
