The problem with "manning up" and having an amazingly constructive day is that the next day is bound to be less constructive and therefore disappointing. Yesterday I had Tessi with me all day. Do I need to list what I got done? 2 kids to school, Tessi's swim lesson, read up 1/3 of one room, picked up kids from school, argued, drove to rugby practice, argued again, drove home had dinner and went to bed right after the girls. Not exactly the uber day I had before.
Today isn't shaping up much better. I have SO much a I have to do and I'm really in danger of stuffing everything up.
Grrrrr. I never wanted to be a super mom. Right now I'd settle for a marginally passing one.
