I am having my very own pity party today. I do all the housework, I do the shopping, I do the cooking. I take the kid to childcare, do all the baby care and I do Cstant battle with Mt Washmore (also known as the laundry/washing). I walk and wash the dog, brush the fur critters three, and I do the lawns and the gardens.
And when h is asleep, I do the thesis. No wonder I sleep well, and no wonder the thesis is going slowly.
Actually, rather than a Pity Party, I should be celebrating the fact I get so much done. I must be wonder woman. Or maybe I'm nuts, and I should delegate some of this to wonder man. Hmm...

I think you are doing awesomely... I can't imagine how I would have coped with offspring AND thesis at the same time!(-:

Posted by: karen at October 6, 2004 01:21 PMGood news - wonder man is going to take over the washing, and take senior sprog to childcare in the morning. That will give a lot of time back to my day.
Thanks Karen - you can encourage me anytime :) Its only fairly clean round hair, it is the fur critters who make true clean impossible.
