No small children anymore, but just everyday living means I spend a good part of my days picking things up in one place and moving them to another place. A lot of domestic work in the home has to be done over again the next day; there is never, for long, something I can point to with a feeling of accomplishment; it is soon in use and messed up again. And others don't seem to notice one way or another.Blondi Blathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656970490122824720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-65255628182089498632010-11-21T08:56:52.449+01:002010-11-21T08:56:52.449+01:00Just let them get on with it in a room that doesn&...Just let them get on with it in a room that doesn't matter.Woodmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-64996808059493869592010-11-20T19:09:47.068+01:002010-11-20T19:09:47.068+01:00Been there, done that!

I do recall, fondly now, my mother always mumbling under her breath, in German of course, "Just wait, you'll get it all back when you have kids of your own someday." She was right!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953073381987950597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-41107306265969792682010-11-20T18:39:35.562+01:002010-11-20T18:39:35.562+01:00LOL - I recognize this frustration completely!LOL - I recognize this frustration completely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
