The every day - ness
of waking stupid early, making breakfast, facing
piles of laundry and cleaning dog throw - up was both an
enormous relief and a bit
of a let - down.
You wake up and the kids» school uniforms aren't washed, there's no bread to make sandwiches for their lunch, the sheets and towels from the trip have been tossed in the
laundry along with an inexplicably
enormous bag
of dirty underwear, you've run out
of toilet paper and are reduced to scrounging for Kleenex, the front hall is
piled halfway to the ceiling with suitcases plus six recycling bags filled with detritus from the trip... and you have to walk the Sprogs to school because Husband has dropped the car in for a service.
