Do you ever just have one of those days where you just wonder why you even bother? I'm having one of those today Sad
Just want to stay under the covers all day but can't as I have the kids on my own for the day.

Yep. I've been up and sorted the kids out and now I'm supposed to be having a shower and getting set for the day, but I've pretty much come back into bed!!!

That's what I did too @Parkmama
Got up with ds(6) at 5 this morning cos he was sick, then went back to bed an hour ago once I had the baby down for a nap. Up again now And have ds ready and the baby fed but don't have the motivation to go and dress myself Sad wish I didn't have to go out today

I find the best thing to do is chunk the day - "Only half an hour and then I can have lunch" and so on. If the day looks impossibly long then break it up and just think about getting through each little bit.

@HPFA thanks, that's a good idea. At my worst time I found myself only thinking x more hours til bed. I prob should set myself small target throughout the day like lunch, dinner etc.
