grubi my days are like yours, filled up with an interminable series of little jobs. washing, picking things up off the floor, making phone calls, cooking, washing dishes, shopping (including walking slowly to shops with dd in sling and ds stopping to look at things and climb on fences on the way), dealing with tantrums, wiping bottoms etc etc etc... then, sometime around midnight, at last to sleep until it all begins again the next day. you are NOT unproductive - getting through the day with kids fed and cared for, and hopefully yourself and dh fed and cared for, is as much as can be expected.

that's all from me for now - MUST get to bed earlier tonight. Those PJs are calling! (I don't have PJ days but I was given some ug boots when dd was born and they stay on my feet all day when i'm home - boy are they comfy!)
