I'm flopped on the sofa, absolutely shattered. I've had a run of 'working' days, including the weekend, which were immediately preceeded by 'Twin days' and are now being rounded off with 'Twin days'. Why on earth would anyone of my age decide to have children? At the moment we have a woman, only 1 month younger than me, who is expecting her first baby, she must be bonkers. At least I have the previous experience with babies to help me with the demands of tired toddlers, plus they do go home to sleep, or not. She will have to find the energy for the 24/7 'chasing your tail' of baby and chldcare. I was pondering this as I crawled through the tunnel and then as I sat inside the play tent that it leads to, 2 days a week is one thing, my whole life, now, with retirement from work edging ever closer, unthinkable. I have discovered though that once in the tent the boys play hide and seek for about 5 minutes and then lose interest and go off to play with something else so, as long as I don't mind sitting gnome-like in a spotty, little tent, I can get about 15 minutes to re-charge my batteries!
Too old for this?
