To have cried today-all too hard

Three was not the magic number today. I am too tired to want to do anything except state at a wall (blank) and am getting to the point where I want a break from dd2 but she's at the point where she wants me all the time. Dd1 is cheeky and testing boundaries and three year old ds thinks raspberries are the response of choice to all requests for him to do anything. One bout of sobbing on the stairs - is that okay or should I be looking to get my head sorted out? And a few rants before and after the sobbing!

Sweetsantababy-no child free day-but tues when ds at preschool and dd at school come close second. If you have one, going down to none is a rest, if there are two, going down to one, so having three and going down to one is a positive spa day! And ds loves preschool and dd1 loves school so everyone wins! Is it your child free day tomorrow?

13yo DD with asd, 9yo DS1, 8yo DS2 also has asd, 10mo DS3. I was bemoaning my lack of sanity last week when 8yo DS2 told me he had sold it to the badgers for a magic bean.

I felt that explained everything perfectly. Hmm Grin

If you have 4,then going down to two for one day a fortnight is positively serene!

Wow-a magic bean?! I could do with one of those. Alas no sanity to exchange for it Wink. What was little Santa in the play?

I'll have a magic bean too please. Grin

Little santie was an angel (apt) Wink

How are you doing today op? I was trying to convince DD3 that it would be lovley for mummy if she want to nursery today. Alas she was not convinced so we are having a very lazy quiet day. Grin
