Good morning! My day started with rushing around trying to meet everyone's needs while they freaked out. I hate starting my day like that, I am not a morning person. I guess I could get up earlier and ease into things, but sleep!
L is really starting to play and show his personality, and I love it! DS1 keeps telling me "good job, mommy!" for doing mundane things like turning on lights, it's hilarious.

Having the stomach flu seems to have affected my supply. I am eating a ton of oatmeal, drinking mothers milk tea, and hydrating like a crazy person.
I am getting pretty excited about my mom and brother coming next week. I love having everyone around. I know most people are sick of their families after awhile but I would love to live really close to my mom and brother, like within walking distance. I used to live 15 minutes away from my parents and I loved every minute of it.

Well DD1 just threw an epic tantrum in Target so that was fun. I have claw marks on my neck. I had so much to get done and needed to go food shopping too but I ended up leaving because she wouldn't calm down. Then both kids passed out in the car (hmm DD1 maybe you shouldn't wake up at 530am ehy?) so I drove around and cried because I'm just so freaking exhausted and that was the last thing I needed today. Now I'm just parked in the drive way and they are both still sleeping. I just feel like such a failure. My kids need too much attention and I just have nothing to give lately.

I put (fought) DS1 down for a nap an hour ago... he's still not asleep and it sounds like he's doing construction up there! And I've been trying to get L to nap for 45 minutes... somebody please nap!
DD has a terrible wet cough and it's been a few days now. Mal has his 4 month appointment on Friday and if it isn't gone, I want her looked at too. I feel almost negligent for not calling now.
I'm watching the Crown on Netflix (very good so far) and almost every character smokes making me feel like I can't breathe.
We are a full week into no access of our driveway and it suuuuuuucks so badly. In the city I would have bragged if I got a parking spot on my block but now I'm mad. The burbs have softened me. Plus I carry a huge carseat and hold a kid's hand now.
Thanks everyone I appreciate the support, sorry for being such a downer. Sometimes other people make kids seem so easy!
You're allowed to vent! It often really helps. And those people who make kids seem easy are most likely not telling you about the hard times. No kid is perfect. No parent is perfect.
littlesthobo , we're also in nap hell today. We are phasing out DS1's naps so I limit his to an hour (I need more though!). And the baby barely napped at all today. I've probably spent 2 hours trying to put him down all for 2 20 minute naps. Ugh.
Today DS1 was such a crank after preschool. I don't know if this is true or if he made it up based on my questions, but he said a boy was mean to him and pushed him down the slide and now he doesn't like school. He loves school so this breaks my heart.

rungirlrun love tit for commiseration. When I went to check on DS1, he had thrown a ton of toys and diapers over his gate into the hallway. And was passed out on the floor in front of his door. Needless to say, his nap didn't last very long! Also I hope you figure out what's going on at school and that your DS enjoys going again! That's so hard

rungirlrun sorry to hear about the school issue. That kind of stuff can be so tough to deal with especially when it's hard to get the full story. Little kids are mean though, we've had a bunch of issues with DS and it's so hard because he's such a sweet boy. Hopefully by tomorrow your DS will have forgotten about it and be excited for school again!
Also I hope you and littlesthobo have better nap days tomorrow. We're phasing out DD1's naps too and it's going to be the death of me.
