No one understands REALLY being tired like someone who raises children, sometimes with disabilities, maintains their R AND works fulltime along with all the dr visits, PTA meeting and their commitment to their church and or other charitable events. If you are this tired post vacation, how would you EVER manage being a mom and/or partner??? Even Stay At Home moms are exhausted by the amount of energy it takes to keep up with one or more babies, toddlers, teens. It never really gets easier until they are grown up.
Couldn't find any info on the black tie event to answer Fig's question. Tell us more.
