Re-framing what you've just said (if you would so kindly allow me), "How good is it to be able to fall asleep at night knowing I've accomplished a lot - to the point of exhaustion?" @ArraDreaming

Can you have a quick re-energising catnap? @ArraDreaming
Sometimes a quick short nap does the trick. Your body has been in overdrive for many days. It is understandable if you feel like you've been 'hit by a bus' - so to say.
It's hailing and pouring on my side now. Is it raining for you? Will the Christmas dinner be indoors or out?

So you're running on adrenaline then @ArraDreaming - I'm sure you will feel it even more tonight. Please take care.
What you are doing now, cleaning and feeding your boys, is the sacrifice many parents make for their children. Despite how tired, cranky, unwell parents are, they always put their kids before themselves.
I'm not sure I can do that when I think about it - hence maybe that's why I don't have kids.
I take my hat off to all parents out there!

Not sure if you wanted a iced choc? @Meowmy
It's been hot one my side. However, if you prefer hot choc with marshmallows, I can whip one of those ones up too!
