I can’t take my kids anywhere, or do anything with them that isn’t quiet and careful. (If you remember I mentioned a family game of Monopoly recently? Someone had to roll dice and move the counter for me, because I can’t physically do that for long enough to play a game.)

I try and keep most of my day’s mental energy for the kids, because when I’m exhausted and noise is painful so I have to ask them not to talk to me, that’s the worst thing.

My nightmare is that this happens to them too.
