1. Stopped fretting about lunch and tea and fed them bread and butter on tap throughout the afternoon.

2. Fed Michael for hours, and refused some of Deborah's requests nicely so that I could still function without feeling completely drained. Made them both chocolate milk as a compromise and didn't shout when it got spilt as I peeled potatoes for tea.

3. Took them out in the morning and did stuff with them this afternoon despite no sleep last night. Allowed my body to feel as absolutely shattered as it is without too much winging.

4. Made paper hats this afternoon.

5. Started to give pauses after demands to allow time for de-grumping and time for compliance.
