I have half a day with Son#3 which is generally quiet, at home, doing nothing but watching Dora on TV (Son#3's favourite TV show in the whole entire universe) and reading.
Then...
Then at 12h00 I have to fetch Thing#1 and Thing#2, and we rush home to give them something to eat, then skedaddle into the car, driving at breakneck speed to get to Son#1's overcharged swimming lessons on time.
We wait.
We buy groceries.
Then pick Son#1 up again and go home.
By this time, we are all tired and cranky and no-one is willing to compromise.
On anything.
Today we went to the Jumbo supermarket during the long wait for Son#1 to finish his overcharged swimming lessons (repetitive, sorry).
I drank cheap but great coffee (€1,00!!), #2 and #3 shared a juice and each had a cupcake.
They played.
Simple, but just about what I can manage today.
