Smotherhood

I’m the head of my children’s entertainment committee and the acting head of catering but I’m looking forward to retirement from both those roles. Cooking is a chore and shouting, “get off the bloody computer” is becoming dull.
I have run out of low budget activities and if I read one more clean wholesome nutritious paleo educational fun advice for the latter part of the school holidays post on social media, I’ll scream at the smug happily married financially savvy yummy mummies who write them. Sigh. Next week I return to the tyranny of the school run. So much to look forward to in 2016. Today I am turning up the Ackadacka and dreaming of escape.

Great post, Lou, sprinkled with humour and pathos. What a wonderwoman you are, fitting in so much on top of the big job of parenting.
Thanks Linda, I think you’re a remarkable go getting woman, so I guess we have a mutual admiration for each other!
