And I get your rant - I don't work full time on top of mothering, but I am a married single parent 6/7 days every week. Don't let's beat ourselves up, but just do what we can and not sweat the rest.

Seems obvious, but when I get the urge late at night to cut and sew a pair, and they turn out to only have 1% stretch, they aren't very comfortable in the morning!

And I'm not alone all week, so I can't imagine. I actually feel like I'm getting a little bit of a rhythm going now and I could spare a half hour to sew every so often. But I'm just so damn tired that I'd rather vegetate. I love that thigh high slit skirt. So elegant.

Getting any sewing done is a great accomplishment. I love the teal top and thigh high skirt.
