I can't think of a title

There is absolutely nothing worse than feeling sick with a virus and having to deal with all your kids.OOOOHHH......yesterday was pretty bad.I begged them to be good and get on with things without me having to tell 50 times.They weren't too bad,it's just hard to keep the noise levels down.My oldest son who is ten, bless him, he did all the washing up in the evening and cleaned up all the kitchen!! that is the first time that he has ever done anything like that without being asked.Could it be that he is finally understanding the concept of EMPATHY! Boy's this age are just so selfish.I was really touched by his concern. Anyway,today I feel better.Perhaps the second worse thing when you have alot of kids is your washing machine breaking down!!!for the past week I have had no washing machine.I've had it about 6 months and it's already broken down 4 times.It took the guy a week just to come and look at it.....now he needs another week to actually fix it.I mean honestly....how outrageous is that.You try and explain to the service people on the phone and they really don't give a damn. So now i have 3 huge sacks of rancid laundry festering in my bathroom and I'm just handwashing a few things as I need them............marvellous..........bloody marvellous..........
