Kids = Put away everything but the most essential sanity saving joys for yourself.
All the big school holidays get the family up here, Doris does sneak off to get a bit of “Me Time”. Who could blame her as she does the lions share during term time? I’m a bit stupid but not stupid enough to complain in fact I encourage her and generally bite my tongue even if she messes up my fun.
Like H2O!!!! I try and follow the path of least resistance
