Boy asleep thankfully, as i am so stressed i feel like i have the shakes, and still sweating profusely. Think i will have an ice cream and try and cool down for ten minutes while i can. DH is a PITA - i can't believe he is working late tonight and leaving me to just get on with it yet again - i might refuse to go away until the boys are a lot older unless i get more help. I can't be holding DS2, doing everything basically for DS1, and organising all of it, and he should know better. I am not going to be in a fit state to enjoy it at this rate. Anyway, list check so i can calm my brain and plan the next bit of attack.

Just start at level one and work your way through the list.. anything you achieve is better than nothing..

decide what you wish to get done in a given time period and go for it.. for example.. before dinner tonight I want to have at least got the daily jobs done and changed bedding and got some carp on ebay.. anything else is a bonus!!
