I saw a great lady back in January who helped me a lot with sleeping but I cannot find her card anywhere. I've tried tracking her down through other people that I know know her but have been unsuccessful. I wonder if anyone on good old Mumsnet could give some advice please.
I am tired and very stressed and on a very very short fuse. I seem to be losing my temper much too quickly with the chidlren and I was even short tempered with my poor DM just now. I hate being like this and know that I need to do something about it.
The underlying issues are
- lack of sleep as DD is waking up at about 5.45am just now and not going back to sleep and at just turned 3 she isn't really old enough to be left to play quietly in her room (or rather she can't be trusted to as she'll just go and wake DS).
- Going away in two weeks time, long haul, just the children and me to visit my sister who I haven't seen in nearly 5 years but who I have never really got on that well with.
- Missing three weeks of college while I am away (DS's school holidays different to college this year!), having about 7 assignments to get done before I go away and my first exam the day after I get back!
- Having a DH who works long hours and isn't very supportive of my college course (understatement of the year).
So, any remedies that you would recommend and apologies for feeling sorry for myself
