I'm glad you're feeling better. Some days are good, some days are not, I hope you ahve more good days than bad.

With everything you've got on your plate I'm really not surprised some things get missed, and if forgetting to reply to party invitations and the odd unironed shirt is the limit then I think you are amazing. Definitely get a cleaner if you can afford it, that's what I'm going to get myself for my birthday.

I have the reputation for being a bit flaky with forgetting things (like party invitations, letters from school, etc) but the people who seem to judge me for it all seem to have so much more time than me, either they work pt or are SAHM. Yes they have other things going on in their lives but they also have the time to deal with them. The others who have both parents working ft or single parents working ft, they are all very supportive and we regularly remind each other of the little niggly things that need doing, sending texts like "have you replied to x's party yet? Do you fancy sharing lifts?". It does make a difference having someone around who understands how you might not have the time or the inclination to do everything all of the time.

Glad today is better

I was chatting to a work colleague about work stress today and she suffered really poor health because hers got out of control. She is now in a position to change it and has done so. Not everything is so easy and sometimes there are just too many things
