What is UP with this?

I am mindbogglingly tired. Astrid is showing strong evidence of having been basically a breastfed baby for the last week. She's also making heavy weather of a headcold. We're all cranky, the house is a miserable pit, we've lost Astrid's winter boots, Linnea never wants to get dressed and go out, Emer won't wear her new glasses because people keep talking about how they look (everyone wants to assure her they look good; she doesn't want to look DIFFERENT from usual and she - and I - wish everyone would stop telling her how pretty they are). I'm sick to the back teeth of my Monthly Cycle (monthly! Ha!) and can't remember how to be the kind of energetic, enthusiastic mother Linnea had at Astrid's age.

On the other hand, the A1 Venn diagram of foods they like is coming along nicely.
