Yesterday was horrible. Today is the evil stepmother of the wicked witch of horrible.
2 cranky kids. DS is teething & having allergy issues & was screaming so hard he threw up everywhere. DD had a massive blowout that required me cutting her clothes off of her. She thinks she's a big girl so when she sees her brother, she does sit-ups in her bouncy chair & tries to run after him, then screams when she can't because- duh, she's still too little [she hasn't gotten the memo yet].
Oh, & I did I mention that they both woke up early so they are both overly tired??
Seriously, pray for me.
Re: please give me some encouragement...
Ah, on of those days! I've been there. The best you can do is try to get through it and when the day is done enjoy a nice glass of wine and a bubble bath or go to sleep early. Oh, and a good cry never hurt anyone!
I hope your day gets better!
On these days I get the toddler a sippy cup of milk, put her on one side of me in the recliner, the baby on my lap, and we rock and watch a kids' movie for a little while for some peace. Hopefully one or both of them will fall asleep in the chair!! These days are survival of the fittest and I am not above resorting to cartoons.
On those days I usually make a second pot of coffee at about 2PM. I also put them in the jogging stroller and go for a LOOOONG walk. Long long long.
We have had a rough couple of weeks here too. Strep throat, teething, and a host of other minor things. Hang in there!

No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

Thanks Mamas!
Both are in bed right now & I am right behind them! Hopefully tomorrow is better & if not, then the weekend is here! A drink will surely be in order!
