To be able to do it all...

[MollySilkNose]

I'm usually a really organised person.
I've been working 15 hours a week but have recently increased to a new job 25 hours, all within school times but differing start/finish times each day. I have 2 children at school, one of whom is in reception so doing odd hours, different to my older child for the settling in period. So I feel like I'm juggling at lot at the moment, arranging childcare, getting used to a new job etc. I'm responsible for food shopping, cooking, cleaning, household stuff, all school admin, all but 2 drop off/pick up, clubs etc. as my DH has a demanding job and health issues.
Today we were meant to be going on a family day out. When we arrived I realized that I'd forgotten my ticket (DH & DC had there's). It was too far/late to go back for mine. Everyone had been looking forward to the day out and DH was really mad that I'd forgotten my ticket and ruined the day. I got a taxi home and he took the kids in himself. I've got to wait around for them all day now, knowing that DH is mad with me.
I also forgot about a parent's meeting at school this week, which i never do.
DH doesn't really understand how many plates I'm juggling, and that occasionally I'll drop a few. I don't really know what the point of this post is, just that I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and alone x

Lots of people will have just as many suggestions but try not to be hard on yourself as it’s normal to forget sometimes.
The one things that’s helped me most is the calendar on my phone...set it to remind you of everything! Put postcodes in so you can tell the satnav. Set alarms (with different tones?) to go off on the same day each week (i fell asleep on the sofa last night so when the alarm to pick up DS from the gym went off all was fine!)
I also set an alarm for the ‘need to leave the house NOW’ time for a long trip

DS school calendar can also sync with the phone calendar so school events are in your pocket too, worth checking if your schools can sync too

Well, yeah, you’ll get loads of hints and tips
but I think the odd plate-drop moment is to be expected. Let it go!

Does your DH juggle plates like this? No, he does not. So he isn’t in a position to be cross with you so he can just feck off.

He’s actually made you feel bad. When he should be just gutted for you. So bollox to him.

So, why not spend the day doing something lovely - can you catch up with a friend? Sit in the sun with a cappuccino? Go for a swim? Haircut? Make the best of it! After the few weeks you’ve had - you deserve it.

Your plates have stopped for the day! might actually get some R&R. Which is suspect you need.

Leave DH to his tantrum and focus on you.

Thank you for your hints and perspective. Appreciate the replies x
