Have you ever had an “I suck” day? I have on many occasions. Just recently actually. I felt unorganised, there was so much happening (and it’s only April!), the kids were whingey about one thing or another, I hadn’t been able to exercise, the house felt like a pig-sty and I was just totally over all of it!

Thanks to my parents we managed to have two nights away, kid free, in Kilkenny. Not having family close-by in Australia it’s hard to have time away so we try to sneak one in when we get back to Ireland. Plus grandparents LOVE time alone with their grandkids, right??? Continue reading
