Annoyed ex equals stress

I must pay the price of yesterday's lovely day and today was the annoying day.

My ex husband very kindly agreed to come round and sort out my mother's garden, but he was not amused when he saw how overgrown it was. He asked me just why was it, that it was always him that had to do the garden when she has a son and two 'real' son-in-laws that that are all retired. A question that is often on my lips as I'm cutting the grass with my oxygen pack on my back!
So after he snarled at me, I wasn't the happiest of bunnies when my mother cooed him, asking him to put some plants in the wheelbarrow and sort out the shed too before he finished. I was seething as well as him and had to get her in quickly with a promise of a cup of tea.
At least I managed to convince her to get out of her nightie and into her daytime clothes. And yes I think it did make her feel better, but I am now shattered after zooming backwards and forwards with roast dinners, etc.
She was desperate to go for a drive, but as she had only started wearing day clothes today and she's still coughing like mad, I thought better of it. So I'm possibly the bad daughter today. But it's not the best idea to be in the confines of a car if she is still full of germs and coughing for England.
I've been very breathless today, probably because I was as tense as hell.
Ah well tomorrow is another day.

Lots of love Debbie x
