Hi @BlueBay and @utopia and @Zoe7
I remember when my kids were little and both in nappies and my son was a bed-wetter - oh the fun of it all
My daughter was premmie and failing to thrive and we all know my son was into everything - even self-destructive very early
I would have a load in the washing maching, a cake in the oven, I would be sterilzing bottles and making formula and holding the baby in one arm feeding her with the bottle and pulling down the pants of the big one with the other hand - and if necessary I could strike a match with my left hand. One day I found I had left a load in the washing machine - fully washed etc - and such was my mood I was not inclined to wash it again
How people managed with larger family - I do not know - if fact I do not know how others cope -
So yes - after living like that when the kids were young - I often wonder that I can't know but still have clean habits - and push myself - our health measures what we can do and age also - and menopause - so we need not give ourselves a hard time that we can not longer multi-task - though I am writing and watching a movie at the same time right now
I took the rubbish out a short while ago - it's a warm night and I walked through a spider web and got it all over me - and I wonder when the spider is - I got inside and pulled my nightie off and shook it out - I couldn't find the spider
We all need to take it easy and lower the bar on how much we can do at the stage of our lives
And was it Bay who had a boss with the shivers and wanted the A/C and the doors closed - not reasonable - is she menopausal? Ah - I know you had a horrible day - I need not give your boss any excuses
