DH has only been away for work for three days and I cannot wait for him to come home tomorrow - I'm exhausted!  How do you single mums do it? I have even more respect for you all now (and I had heaps before - my mum was a single parent and I know how hard she worked). I need a break and it's only been three days! Granted, inviting the inlaws and then my family over for dinner two nights in a row wasn't the most relaxing of times...but still...
Roll on tomorrow night! 
And perhaps I should go to bed now...

I loooove these threads!
But honestly, in my case - I just pawn off the child to my sister or Gareth. Or put on a DVD so I can cook the dinner in peace  And definitely DON'T try and throw dinner parties!
Well done for surviving

And on the bad days you just get up and put one foot in front of the other and tell yourself that it isn't going to last forever... -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
