Grumpy day all round!!

Mr Messy was dragged out of bed just after we'd gone up, and kept up till 1am by the latests problem with this week's deployment job. Then Little Prince woke up scarily early, and to I got up with him to let Mr Messy get some sleep! Drama Teen had stayed up late watching TV last night, so she was out of sorts and I'm not sure why, but so was Fraulein!! So we all had a grumpy, irritable day with each other - no out and out arguments, just lots of grumbling and sniping at each other. And because everyone was either ignoring him or too tired/grumpy to play Little Prince was a little monster all evening!!! Oh dear - I hope tomorrow is better, especially as the kids are all at home all week on half term!!
Me, Mr Messy and Little Prince went out in the afternoon, to buy computer innards for Mr Messy's computer (video card I think?!). While we were at the shop, I saw a Disney kids MP3 player!! Apart from the fact that it was pink and Princess themed it would have been perfect for Little Prince for Christmas. Luckily I found a Cars themed one on Amazon - so that will be winging its way to Father Christmas soon :-) Although I'm in two minds whether or not to give it him to keep him amused during our travel to Disneyland Paris!
Then this afternoon Mr Messy decided to make his trademark American chocolate muffins - made with English chocolate, which we prefer to American choccies!! Aaaaargh! How can he do this to me?? He knows I'm dieting!!! Oh well - so far I've managed to resist temptation, hopefully I can remain strong till they are all gone. Which luckily never takes long as they are sooo yummy :-) Its making my mouth water just writing about them lol

Hmm tough call! I'm not sure, I would say Christmas because he has more chance of losing it in Disney, but it'll keep him so very quiet...I don't know! Sorry!
