Thanks for the hugs and thoughts.
well it will officially go down as A Bad Day.
Teatime descended into chaos as both boys were crying at the same time. Rang DH to vent but of course no answer.
then ds2 decides he will eat all of the ravioli so that sorts him out but ds1 will have NONE of it. ok, then he spies the nutella - want dat mummy.
i think soddit, have it on some toast. noooooooo
he just wanted the jar on the table so he could stick his finger in it (wonder where he's seen that? )
so is picking the nutella off the toast making a right mess, then goes into one cos his fingers are dirty .
clean them.
every time i move away from ds2 he screams blue murder....
i try to make ds1 eat HALF a piece of ravioli, he turns away, pushes it away, and shouts.
i lose it at this point and take him upstairs and shut him in his room in the dark
go back down (to a screaming ds2), sort him out, calm down.
go back up - he's going to sleep. me tired mummy..wtf?
so that's it, backfired on me big time, he's gone to bed at 4.45.
dh is on the train. ds2 watching Night Garden - the only thing that seems to stop him screaming .
ds1 will either wake up at 10ish starving having only eaten some nutella for tea! or more likely at 3am tomorrow.
think i may sleep on the other side of the bed and let dh deal with the fallout....
saturday is busy as it's concert day which means rehearsal/setting up in the afternoon.
sunday we are off to surrey for a birthday party.
these things are sent to try us......
lily - love the snow pics! is it melting yet? just lots of rain here.
simpson - poor dd is the soya milk working ok? just the yoghurt causing probs? is there something else in it?
LaT - i should have asked dh to come home i think. i don't like to show that i'm not coping, even when it's obvious i'm not! but felt that he made it impossible for me to choose the miss-the-meeting option.
ange - no advice from here re sleeping probs - just grit teeth and bear it i guess....
right, must wipe ds2's nose, again, snotfest here too...
