Calgon. . .
take me away!
Ok- so every night for the past week I have either had extreme insomnia, or the kids have woken me up countless times. I am exauhsted. Like semi nauseated all day exauhsted. Like can’t remember how to spell exauhsted. Like forgetting to put the parking break on exauhsted.
Jonas kept me up until 11 last night. Then Maggie woke up from 12 until 3. Then I fell back asleep and woke up to shattering glass because Maggie got up again and tried to get herself a drink and dropped the glass.
Then Jonas wet his bed, and ended up crawling in with me, kicking me for about an hour and snoring until he wet MY bed.
Then Maggie got up AGAIN and brought and entire jug of milk over to my bed, where she dropped it on the floor and spilled milk all over a pile of clean laundry waiting to be folded.
Holy Freaking Cow, people. 5 loads of laundry, no sleep and a HUGE overwhelming to do list that I’m already behind on.
I. Have. Had. It.
*lots of hugs*

Ugh, I am so sorry! I know how you feel….
All I Want to do is sleep. But. I. Can’t. All I can do now is daydream about sleeping!
:o)

Oh dear….just try to think how you’ll be telling this story to your kids when they’re older, you will roll about laughing with Maggie about her sudden urge for independance at silly O’clock in the morning! How can such a vision of cuteness create so much chaos!!! x

My heart aches for you. I wish I lived next door and your kids could come over to play so you could get some rest.

Admiring your talent is very right, and still finding time to blog?… Admire your initiative to overcome exhaustion!!!

From one Lu to another Lou I completely understand!!! I long ago stopped questioning why some poor mummies just snap “for no reason” because its the accumulated little crappy things that are the ones that drive you totally bonkers!!!! Or at least that’s how it seems for me in my house! My daughter at 3 wants to do everything herself too with the usual predictable results. I have to congratulate you for sharing with us - I’ll bet if you didn’t laugh you’d cry!!! lol Thanks for making the rest of us feel not so alone in the horror of this whole being mummy business. Cya, Lu

I’ve been there, too! I hope both children will nap at the same time today for you–or at least go to bed early tonight!

Just remember, you don’t have to catch up on your to do list or be perfect. (You always want to). I’m glad that you shared with us. Just do one thing at a time for awhile. You’ll make it!
