How do people have their lives so together?! Or is it all an illusion?! I feel like I am farcically stumbling through life! I (F42) have a partner and two young kids. Kids both have different things for tea and won’t sit at the table. I have to practically chase DD3 round to get her to eat anything. This morning breakfast for DS7 was a slice of toast on the way to school (DD was given apples, strawberries and a pancake but didn’t eat them). I didn’t have breakfast, nor did I bring anything with me for lunch at work (although I did hang the washing up to dry so, small win!). We don’t seem to be able to consistently meal plan and prep so we’re constantly nipping to the shops for something for our tea (usually eaten at about 9pm once the kids are in bed). As a consequence I have gained a lot of weight, but when do you exercise?! I see these slender, Adanola Lycra clad mum’s obviously off to the gym after the school run 🤷♀️! Meanwhile I stagger sweaty and stressed into work. Bedtime for DD3 is another farce, and she frequently wakes at night too! The house (and car!) always seems a mess, and the laundry basket is usually overflowing. And where do I even start on what to wear! I hate everything in my wardrobe (and desperately need new bras) but don’t really know what my style is to buy new stuff - I feel like I’ve lost myself along the way! How do we get it together and stay more organised?! Any advice or tips?!
