Right, but just get your rhythm back.  Then, when you have sated your
appatite, then take your time and practice.  
Give yourself a little breathing room.
 Maybe you can practice when she is not around.

The thing is, I've done all that in training, it's just when I dove in to my
classes and my mom came to live with me, I slacked. Now, I'm cutting not
straight, saute meat like as if it's my first time, wrap something in dough
with much more mistake than done right, I light a gas stove and apparently
only get just gas and not flame on low and fkr all this, I get criticised
and lectured for all this like it's my first time. And to top it all off, I
vet told that my training was worthless and that while there, I didn't have
a cooking class.
