K? K.
No seriously. Who stole my life? Currently, I'm spending my days:
1) Preparing. For work and school: packing bags, making lunches, signing forms… blah, blah. I've nodded off just thinking about it.
2) Working. 8.30-4pm, I'm at a desk, or bringing things to other people's desks, barely resisting the urge to add, "Do you want fries with that?"
3) Cooking. 5-6pm, I'm in the kitchen, cooking and maybe, if the mood takes me and the planets are correctly aligned, cleaning up.
4) Grooming. Children, that is. Bathing them, combing their hair afterwards, trimming their nails. You know, general pet maintenance.
5) Laundering. Pointlessly shoving clothes into the washing machine and then having no way of drying them, because it's winter here and it's been raining for about a decade.
6) Organising. Persistently tidying the children's cupboards, even though experience tells me that they'll look like the day after Hiroshima in about 2.5 minutes.
7) Watching. Dvds - which, currently, are my sole form of entertainment.
8) Internetting. Because this, apart from a Friday dvd, or a glimpse at a few pages of a good book in the bath, is my only "me" time.
So I ask again: do you have a life? And if you have small children, how do you fit it in?
