Wednesday 30th August – Devil boy away for his granddads funeral

The night shift went well but unfortunately I went to bed later than I intended so I did not get the best sleep. Malach also woke in the night for a feed so that did not help either.

The good thing that happened though was that my funky new graphics card arrived in the morning. One of Devil boy’s friends is going to buy my old graphics card so that will mean that we will not have to spend as much money on the card. The only sort of downside to the card is that it is such a powerful graphics card that I will need a new tower with a bigger power source.

I was thinking though as I was looking through the towers for sale. The towers mostly look rather macho. Would like a girly tower for a change. Devil boy told me that I should be able to get a tower custom made. I think I am going to save up for a funky girly tower with flowers and butterflies on it (the butterflies and flowers on the side will be cut into the tower so I can see inside) I am happy that Devil boys friend will also by my current tower.

I got everything ready for Devil boy to go and at around 6 his mum and dad arrived to pick him up.

That is when things started to get challenging. I started to get wound up. Wolfie was getting over tired and messing about. I was getting more and more wound up and snapping at him. I tried and tried to remain calm but I was losing the battle unfortunately.

I was not too happy with my mum though. I was just taking Wolfies nappy off when the phone started ringing. I ignored it but it rang and rang. I thought it must have been an urgent call so I answered it with a dirty nappy in one hand and using my cleanest hand to answer it. It turned out not to be urgent at all but just a call for a chat at the busiest time of the day. Mum knows it is the busiest time of the day yet she always calls then.

I continued to get wound up until it reached its peak when I smacked Wolfies bum and I felt awful about it. Thankfully I was able to calm down a lot and I managed to bathe and put him to bed with only a few minor challenges. I really am going to have to work on my anger management.


After that I managed to get some jobs done before I had a funky chat to mum and then I had a very funky relaxing night. I went to bed later than I wanted but I was feeling much better than easier and I managed to get some reading before I crashed.
