I set out with one goal.

I failed to achieve it.

I discovered that my children thought they don’t need suncream, because they don’t burn. The reason they don’t burn I’d because usually I stand over then to make them put on suncream. I thought they were old enough to put it on themselves. I was wrong.

Today all I achieved was feeding a permafeeding baby, and cooking Bolognese for tea. It will have to be enough for one day.

Tomorrow I will do better.

  1. Don’t beat yourself up. You’ve got to the end of another day, it’s an achievement in itself! Bolognese is good. Well done keep up the ood word and permafeeding baby is hard but again another great achievement. See already your day looks more positive 🙂

    1. It’s just that there are a couple of things I need to do within a timeframe and I’m not getting them done 🙁 but you’re right, the really important things are getting done.

  2. So now they know. Good lesson.

    1. Sadly not. Their response has been to stay inside instead of covering up.
