Too much

-My screen reading software keeps closing when I switch to another window. It has never done this before.

-Gregory is not sitting on the toilet seat when he poops. He is sitting on the toilet rim. He gets wet, yuck! Every time I have to tell him again where he should sit.

-I have been having anxiety attacks.

-Gregory has been throwing lots of tantrums and has not been listening. I am being consistent, but I wish he would get over it. He knows the consequences and knows I will follow through, but it doesn’t seem to matter. He will stand in the corner and cry and scream. I will leave him there till he calms down, but it grates on my nerves. I don’t know what else to do, but he needs to listen to me. He ends up in the corner at least three times a day. Each time he acts like he is being tortured. Oh and when we are in public and I make him hold my hand he says I am hurting him. He says this also when he is in the shopping cart and noone is even touching him. I don’t know what to do. I am sure eventually he will get over it. I am hoping.

-When Lucy is crying and I am sitting taking a minute for myself I don’t want to get up.

-I need some time to not think about anyone, but myself.

-I am tired. I am overwhelmed. I am feeling a huge range of emotions.

-I also feel like my life is wonderful. I really don’t understand myself sometimes.

-Thank goodness tomorrow will be different, hopefully in a good way.

I'm sorry you have not had a good day. It sounds like you could really do with a break. Hope tomorrow is much easier on you.

Hang in there. I'm sure this all happened from time to time when you just had Gregory. It is going to continue to happen with two. Just try to remember it will pass too. And you have a great life and you're aware of it...you're ahead of the game, just gotta get through the tough moments!

Have you thought about getting some respite care for the kids while you and Cullen take a vacation alone?
