Hello Kev! So good to hear from you and I understand, I really do. This morning my daughters were aghast because I put the wrong leggings in the wrong drawers when I was putting away the laundry!! Shock. Horror. I told them to take it up with housekeeping. Because I am the housekeeper, cook, washer up, homework monitor, dog walker, agony aunt, referee, worker and finder of everything...… no one can find anything in our house except me and sometimes it all gets a bit much. Do you know what I do now when I feel like I'm going to explode? Nothing. I sit down and make myself a cup of tea and remember that none of this really matters. No one cares whether I mop the kitchen floor before I go to bed, when I get up or whether I mop it at all. No one's going to remember me for how quickly I wash up after an evening meal. Life is all about priorities. What needs to be done? What is essential? Reading with my younger kids at night is more important than having organised cupboards. Getting to work on time every morning is more important than cleaning behind the sofa. Maybe one day I'll get to the point where I've got everything under control but I'm a long way away from that right now. For now, I just do what needs to be done and I do my best. That's all any of us can do. And if you're feeling exhausted, you need to cut yourself some slack. Because if you become ill, you'll have to do less. Look at your timetable and see where you can make changes. And in my experience, people are much better at helping than I always like to assume. Sure, if they could get away with it, my kids and husband would happily let me do everything for them but when I ask them to help, they do. Often, they do things better than I do! Stay strong Kev... and ask for help. Suze, I sent you some photos of aardvarks yesterday and just realised I didn't say who it was from.... So when you see aardvarks on your phone - that's all me! 24 more please xxxx

Hope everyone here is doing well, and hopefully I’ll be back to slumber land with some happy dreams in a bit.
