I am so fed up with being pulled in two directions at once I want to SCREAM

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

I have a nearly 6-month-old ds and a nearly 2 year old dd.

And before I had even finished typing that first sentence was SCREAM - dd had just shut her finger in the door.
So I went to give her a cuddle and get her some more milk and of course as I did so ds who had been lying on the babygym kicked off.
So now I've calmed him down.
And this will last for, I don't know, a couple of minutes before someone starts again.

It just feels so constant at the moment - either one is crying or both want the same thing. Last night I had literally about 2 hours sleep because baby kept waking toddler and vice versa.

I am being pulled in two different directions practically all the time, and that's even without thinking about housework/sorting out financial stuff/things related to keeping things going in my career for when I go back to work in Nov.

PLEASE someone come and empathise/tell me it gets better.
