Friday night 3 hours sleep - ds2 (asd) sore ears, Saturday night - 6 hours - dd teething and crying in her sleep then ds2 up at 5am (this is usual). Last night ds2 is over the ear thing but has been up and down since 1am, dd now waking early, if I dont catch ds2 in time he goes into her room and climbs in her cot, she has got into the habit now of early waking. At least he doesnt climb on his brothers top bunk anymore and jump off! I shouted at the kids this morning - ds1 was being very argumentative - ds2 ate the contents of ds1's lunchbox and then emptied his potty on the floor and made wee angels on my laminate. DD is clingy because of her teeth. I never hit my children - but sometimes, like today, I can really see why some people do slap their children. I am so tired and have got to the stage where I just couldnt sleep anyway. Dh just says you wanted kids - get on with it. I suppose he is right, I am just feeling sorry for myself.

Never mind, 1 is at school 1 is at Nursery and I have a coffee in front of me and 10 mins to spare - tonight/tomorrow will probably be better - here's hoping!


Oh and I have just had an appointment through for dd to have her MMR - not sure what to do about that.

Monday's - don;t you just love them. Roll on Tuesday.

Sorry to hear you've had such an exhausting time. Lack of sleep has to be the worst and it makes it so difficult to cope when you can barely keep your eyes open. Enjoy every minute of that coffee and try to recharge. I'm sitting here having a coffee break too - I've got the OT coming to do a home visit/assessment later so I'm about to blitz the rooms she'll be in!
Do hope you have a better night. Hang in there!

Poor you. My tolerance levels go through the floor if I have less than about 5hrs sleep.

at your dh for not helping or giving you the support you need.
