work is VERY heavy and no childcare. P has basically been on her own with the dog the past two days while i've been stuck to my desk. thank fuck for new box of k'nex that arrived yesterday morning and for the little ice lollies i had in the freezer and for the left over bits of easter egg in the cupboard and for the half tube of pringles, and for the fact that she knows how to use all the remotes. I'm so lucky to have a 3 year old who understand the concept of 'treats now, big reward later' and has not grouched AT ALL. I've never had to do this before, its horrible. I feel awful and the phone won't stop ringing, email's pinging . . . and no time even to turn that into a ditty!

It's not you. It's them. Absolutely. Them.
About Me
- Name: dodo
- Location: London, United Kingdom
Recently reclaimed by PR industry after more recent background in lobbying and, before that, business journalism. From London and working part time in city but living in sticks. Trying not to pass on to my daughter all that my mother kindly left me. Raging against inevitability. Getting better at it. or not. NEED to rewrite this to say i'm not working at the moment and that there's all kinds of neds stuff going on, but to do that seems really official and final, so a postscript will have to do.

aww poor DoDo and clever P.
sometimes even the idea that it might all come good in the end is so remote that it's hard to find.

If I was there I would totally play K'nex with P, fix some hot chicken soup and watch a movie with her so that you could work. Even one day might help.
hmmmmm sooooooup - thanks Wordgirl. Have not eaten today - only managed to feed P
she watched happy feet by herself (with three cats and mermaid sindy) this morning, i could her her little feet tapping on the floor.
*hugs DoDo hard*
(if I were to attempt to say anything meaningful it would just come out sappy, what with the cloying paint fumes and all)
