The Last Straw

Dear Blog. I've neglected you recently, I know. I wish I could promise improvement but alas, life is full of surprises and there's not enough time to take note of them all.

• there are puddles of water in the kitchen and it appears they may have been there for a while considering the expansion of the kitchen units (ok, Mr Cartside, I admit, it was water)
• there are endless changes in the likelihood of what my working future may look like (and I'm losing track)
• there is a baby who's teething so bad that she screams day and night (FFS, what IS it about those darn teeth?)
• there is a photobook to be made and tons of photos to be edited (why oh why did we take that many photos? Are we mad????)
• there are two adult size cardigans to be knit and that unfinished jumper size 6 months? Well, that baby is 13 months now. Hubby's birthday has been and gone as well and he's still cardiganless.
• there are about 20 jobs that I'd like to apply for and not enough time in the day to do so (they are all full time and I still don't know at which point in an application process the question around flexible working hours and job share is best asked)
• there are more adventurous ideas in my head demanding to be explored yet no space and time to do so because ...
• there's also a rather demanding job that still needs to be done even if it may only be for another two months.

I am not far off losing my mind ever so slightly. I've most definitely reached the point of "mummy can't do that!". Now can some plumbing hero please fix my kitchen?
