So. tired. I can't remember y'all's questions. For those who inquired, I'm in his room with him because we're doing the sleep lady shuffle. We actually went back a step last night because the crying was so bad. At times, E sounded possessed. Ghostbusters-like possessed. He totally lay down easily and was quiet for the first 45 minutes but was clearly struggling to sleep (rolling around). Then the sobbing began... An didn't stop for over and an hour.
We are up at 7am despite not going to sleep until like 11pm. Should be an interesting day...
I had a really rough morning with DS1 today. I am not proud of this, but I yelled at him so loudly this morning that it made BOTH boys cry I felt awful. And now I feel like a giant piece of shit. Especially since he was literally clawing at me trying to prevent me from leaving today at daycare (as in, my shirt is stretched out because he was pulling at it so hard).
I don't know how much more I can take. He's just SO SO difficult in the mornings. Since I don't really like my job, part of me really wants to quit because then I won't have this daily morning stress. But I am NOT cut out to be a SAHM. I struggle if it's just me and the boys home alone for a weekend. I can't imagine doing it full time. And that makes me feel like a shitty mom.
hugs, michelin. We don't have really difficult mornings, but I'm often disappointed by how stressed I get over the weekend and feel like I'd be a really terrible SAHM too.
Putting a bandaid on a tiny baby finger is really difficult - physically and emotionally. I think it has finally stopped bleeding though.
michelin82 That really sucks, hopefully its just a phase and things will get better. Not sure how active the working mom board is on here or if you want to go back on TB, but they might have more insight for DS1's age.
Maybe this is dumb, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something right if DD starts crying when I loose my temper. It means it doesn't happen often, therefore mommy success, sort of? I'm friends with a couple who are constantly stern/yelling at their kids. It's at a point where their kids (6 & 3) are not affected my them yelling and just ignore them 1/2 the time.

Thoughts and good vibes for everyone who needs them. I'm trying to keep up, but I doubt I will.
I slept for almost 10 hours. It was so great. After this weekend at work, I needed it! And today is supposed to be near 70 degrees! We will be heading to the park here in a little bit with the BF and his boys. I'm just so excited to be outside and not shivering. I hate winter! Lol

We are heading outside today too -- it's supposed to be around 50F. I'm hoping it will be soul-restoring. I'm feeling pretty low right now between lack of sleep and what's going on with my mom, plus my aunt's mastectomy tomorrow.
Oh, and DH thinks his jaw is messed up again.
Sorry for the pity party, but it's been a rough 12 hours.

Anyone else getting confused by the small changes. I swear last time I was on the quote/like is buttons were at the top of the post and now they are at the bottom (big improvement IMO). How the thumbs up is a heart.

Yeah, the buttons moving are a big improvement but totally threw me off this AM! I was liking unintended posts until I realized what'd happened when I tried to quote one!

All right, I'm going to bury my pity party in here. DH finally confided in me how scared he is that he doesn't have a job. Now I feel like an ass because I've been pushing him to move back to Minnesota. (I told him we could look other places, but he knows my heart is there.)
So yeah, we might end up living in a van down by the river.
