I have just taken my dd (aged 2.3) to montessori and she cried for the first time, so I stayed an extra half an hour hidden away to make sure she was okay. This is following a morning of getting nothing done in the house as my ds3 (12 wks) will not be put down, he has just been diagnosed with acid reflux (because a consultant watched him feed yesterday... long story he was having his skull x-rayed). So I have found it very hard to keep my house tidy since his birth and this week has been about the worst.
So (now getting to the point) when a man asked me to hang around to help him jump sstart his car I said that I had been having trouble with my battery charging (which is true) as I only do short journeys... but my main objection was rushing home to do an hours housework...... now I feel guilty. I do have to leave again at 2.55 to collect three children at three different schools and will not get back until 4.20......
