One Last Pull for this Knot to Break

[sleeper]

X called this afternoon to let me know she failed to take something to school for the kids.

I asked her if something was wrong, told her she sounded tired. She responded by telling me she was "exhausted and stressed out" but didn't say why. She told me she had to get rid of the kittens she rescued, they are all over the house and she can't handle them.

Grown woman vs 3 kittens: Kittens win?

I have the kids this week so why is she so stressed out and tired?
