I now have only one at home and he's now 22 so getting there with communication and managing his own life. I've never been that organised however so how I managed to get them all off to school in clean uniforms and work full time I'm not sure but we've all survived and still like each other so it happened somehow. We cook enough for three each evening and if my youngest doesn't want it fine we use it up the next day and he gets his own.You will be out of this phase before you know it Sam so I would say embrace it if you can stop stressing lol Wendy @ The contented Cavernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997397522566070661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-36616940030453839122016-09-02T16:55:37.476-05:002016-09-02T16:55:37.476-05:00So true.

I had had a late lunch at 4pm so I didn't even think about it.

That includes: menu planning, shopping lists, to do lists, car pool schedules, nanny schedules, evening/am work schedules, etc. I definitely feel like I have a part-time job as a planner.<br /><br />It's not glamorous, but when I don't have time to do it (i.e. when I'm out of town on a weekend), it's a disaster the following week.
