High alert! It was a leaf falling from the tree...

It's important to stack your cats to start the morning. Ignore the dog, she's pretending to be neighbourhood watch.
And the wheelie bin wheels!
Our JRT protects the child from the vacuum cleaner with such ferocity we have teeth marks in the dyson. But she had a mouse friend living in the cupboard beside her bed and she even shared her food.
I didn't have crying for a cat I don't even know on today's bingo card, but here I am.
Their shakes tend to be around with the soap. I found them pretty underwhelming and with a funky after-taste.
Mines in and half gone already.
There isn't one answer that suits all families, someone has to give each time. We have grandmothers, but they're both older and medically compromised so we don't ask them to do the sick days, but they do help on school holidays. Luckily both our bosses are pretty understanding, and we share the load. But it's a constant assessment every time, and we don't judge each other as parents for it. It isn't easy.
We work out who has to go to work and for how long. We tend to swap, work half days each if needed. I can sometimes work from home. But at the end of the day, your kids are sick and need you, and work isn't going to help pick your nursing home.
Our lives were certainly in jeopardy.
