OK, you got me there. Then again, I don't drive very much. But I do have reading material stashed around the house, so I am never without. Thanks for the reminder that I don't need to apologize for needing time to myself. I just wish it didn't feel like such a tug-of-war some days, as it does today. At traffic lights?

It is possible with 2 small children (just not easy). I found time to read when breastfeeding, on the loo, when the kids napped, in the car at traffic lights, whatever it took to feed my soul. Never apologise for needing time to yourself, it makes us all better mothers. All the best. I fully agree regarding having a life of the mind. It is possible with 2 small children (just not easy).
