Where's My Chill Pill?

It's late and I am still on the search for a way to chill out. Strangely it's been a rough day. I just couldn't chill out today. I think I woke up just knowing things weren't going to flow. Brandon and I locked horns constantly today. He is quite sick and I frustratingly spent the day trying to get him to put his tissues in the bin, just after I spent the day trying to get him to stop bossing me around to blow his nose. He'd be literally right next to the tissues with me at the other side of the room and he'd demand that I'd get him a tissue. That just didn't work for me. Bailey was a little angel except for when he didn't get his own way, and then all hell broke loose. I opened up the back door at one stage to get some clothes off the clothes rack on the deck, and Bailey ran out. He went straight to the mud. Actually, his bottom went straight to the mud, good clothes and all. Brandon came out as well and then decided that he'd play in the mud too. I managed to suggest Brandon put some old clothes on of which he eventually did. Then he wanted water everywhere from the hose. I declined because he was sick and it was a bit cold. My thinking was that I wanted him to get better. Well I was the worst mummy ever apparently. He was in fine form. I gave up. I rolled my eyes and looked around for something that would help me keep sane. I lay on the deck, looked up and admired the beautiful blue sky with a splattering of lovely white clouds floating past. I had to shower Bailey because he was covered in mud. Thankfully I went to work for a few hours to escape and Daddy took the 2 boys to the supermarket and chemist to get some medicine for a sick daddy. Hopefully Bailey and I escape the doldrums of illness and Brandon and daddy get better ASAP. The 2 boys and I spent a lot of the day planning our  big Mexican party that we are having here on Friday night. Now at least I have some ideas on the food and a partial idea on decorations. Who knows when the house cleaning fairy will come in. Maybe I'll have to give them a ring tomorrow. Meanwhile I'm still searching for that elusive chill pill. Maybe if the house cleaning fairy comes they might find it tucked away somewhere covered in dust and cobwebs. If I see it I'll dust it off and swallow it instantly. See you tomorrow.
