I was almost distracted by another blog post titled 'The Gin Tonic', but here I am, months later, having finally remembered my password to this damn thing!!

I just finished re-reading 'I Don't Know How She Does It' by Allison Pearson and now am feeling guilt on top of my already all-consuming guilt because not only do I not do enough for my kids, but I don't even make lists about the stuff I should be doing for them!! AArrrggg! Still and all, I loved the book (even though I was reading it instead of spending time with said children). Oooohh, I am a really bad mumma! I know that these years go by way too fast and that I'll regret what I missed, but come on, if the choice is to sit in the backyard reading a terrific novel or having my hair ripped out of my head because my almost 3 year old is playing hairdresser, I'll choose the backyard every time.

Perhaps it's time to go find that Gin and Tonic post after all...
