Hi @Sister,
We are in school hols right now. I wake them at noon! I dont actually remind them about schoolwork or anything but medication, appts yes because guess who gets to make appts. Im responsible for their health.
Ive been "fortunate" to be unwell - virus of some kind (covid test says no) - and cancelled all this weeks appointments. I feel much better mentally as overwhelm is gone. I also had day off work. I think its just the stress of juggling all the balls and dropping them occassionally spectacularly. I "caught up" with some admin. Still have a whoopsie to fix.
Maybe i need a mental health day occassionally and reduce rushing between all the appts.
