If only we didn't have to sleep... lol. No answers here but lots of I-know-how-you-feel hugs. I'm feeling quite out of control as far as housekeeping goes. I'm working full time, single parenting and my closest family member is in another State. What I do do, thanks to some advice I read posted by Satya, is get DS's things ready for the following day as soon as we get home so that at least his bag is packed and all I have to do is grab a few things out of the fridge in the morning for him. I also lay out my clothes before I go to bed. And I also do washing at night and hang on drying racks in the loungeroom. It's a real grind most days - a major triumph to stay fed, clean and clothed!
