Mardi Gras parade was great. Having the wheelchair and disabled access was fantastic and meant I could actually get through it. So bloody tired though.
And instead of just resting so I could get home we ended up with surprise babysitting duties. Jan got called home from school to look after the kids and then in the evening Jan had to go out for something and then Helen left. We had no bed clothes etc for the kids and they were in the bath when we were left with them. We don't know their routines and didn't have all the equipment and weren't asked if we were right to look after them.
So whole evening was taken up getting them bathed and getting homework done and trying to get them to bed. Then they woke in the middle of the night yelling because of mosquitoes or something so we barely slept last night.
I'm kind of angry about it all. They're back home once Jan picks Justin up from school today as Jan has stuff she needs to do tonight. We'll be sleeping early.
Windscreen got replaced today. Got a chip after some arsehole truck driver illegally overtook us between Bathurst and Lithgow.
I want to be home so bad but I'm so tired. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage the drive. Also it's hot all week both here and at home so that sucks.
Oh that was the other thing. When kids started yelling/crying last night I got up to check because Jan hadn't. Apparently she'd just gone for a shower.
So I got up to try and sort them out and started passing out. Also they needed stuff to make bites stop itching and that's in the cupboard I can't reach and bug spray which makes me really sick so I couldn't really do it.
After that I sort of napped.
Had awful indigestion/reflux/GERD last night. Coughing a lot today. Don't know if it's the burnt oesophagus, allergies or if I'm getting sick. Jan has been sneezing a lot.
