So you have
a sullen teenager who is implementing the trademark “Hey! I’m a Sullen Teenager!” attitude but because you’re still half-asleep, you haven’t yet noticed the glaring warning signs.

a truly brilliant idea! To wit:

Morning!
Theoretically, today should be a day of relaxation. In reality, methinks it will be a chunked up day - bunches of work interspersed with kid time, family time, and, well, chunks of work.

You know
sometimes I think parenting is truly one of the most horrendous hero’s journeys one can take.
