When the schools go back I am going to spend an entire day lying in bed with the dog reading and eating cake.
Alison, is there a way you can even get a sliver of that now? My H took the kids on a hike, I felt a teeny bit guilty for staying back but then I laid on the couch and ate chips and read a novel and even just that little two hour window was amazing. Can you lock yourself in your bedroom even for an hour (maybe during work hours while your kids are engaged in schoolwork) and read and eat that cake? I feel we all need to be compassionate for ourselves, and give ourselves a break when we need it.
