Panda eyes and frizzy hair

Tough day today. Audrey's colic returned last night and spilled over into the daytime. Could cope if it was just that but my business has also been demanding my attention today too. The more emails I reply to, the more stress I seem to be under. My staff seem to presume I'm 'back' and have been emailing issues and questions demanding quick responses. I feel overloaded. Looking after a newborn is hard enough, without working too. I need to talk to them about it. Otherwise I might crack under the strain of the two babies (Audrey and my business).

The situation was made worse by the fact my husband was working from home today. We'd previously discussed that on days he works from home, he might help out a bit with the odd feed or change. But today he didn't. He just stayed glued to his laptop and phone all day and didn't move. He made me lunch but otherwise he wasn't really here. I couldn't help but feel resentful especially when he knew I was struggling. So what did I do? Had a massive go at him and slammed a few doors obviously. Oops.

Went out for a walk with Audrey to clear my head and just let the drizzle cool my tear-stained face. Came back home with mascara 'panda eyes' and frizzy hair but felt better for the fresh air. Fresh start tomorrow. Just a bad day. You got to pick yourself up, wipe the slate clean and start again otherwise it can really drag you down.

Spotted Audrey (Hepburn variety) on a road sign while we were out on our walk. She's everywhere. Spooky.
