I'm not sure Barney will work with mine:-) Actually, mine are 12 and 15, but I know what you're saying. I didn't do too badly today!

I explain to her that I need time to do grown up things. Barring having a very small child, like an infant, this can be done. Give the kiddies a project or pop in a movie until you do what you need to. You'll feel better and they'll get to use their imaginations etc., or relax and see that movie you may not be interested in watching. My daughter still loves Barney, so she'll watch that and I'll get my stuff done. :) Hope this helps.
