No One Will Sleep

[cheerfuldom]

a volunteer??? who is actually going to volunteer to watch crabby exhausted kids for free? Its hard enough finding an assistant willing to do it for pay.

3 of my bedrooms are occupied by kids who cannot sleep with others and who scream. The other bedroom is for the older toddlers, and today, only 2 of them are in there. I have one in the hallway on a mat and one in the living room on a mat. So worn out. Then I have a baby in the living room too because he isn't old enough to be in a seperate room. 1 month to go. Ugh. I have another baby starting in December, and after that, I will NOT take another baby. Although, if I go by the kids in my home, the toddlers are no better than the babies! UGH! I am going to talk to DH, and if he thinks we can swing it, i am going to quit. I just can't take being this stressed out day after day.

I can feel for you......... SO much! I have had WAY too many days like that. After a busy morning you NEED that break. I am SO sorry

Honestly, on days like you are having I would haul out the pnp's, pillows and blankets and park them all in front of the tv for quiet time. Plug in a DVD (the longer the better!) and let them vegetate. We don't watch tv, so this would be waaaaay out of the ordinary.

Mine would definitely settle. Normally considered a treat, sometimes you just gotta do what it takes to get thru the day.

Better day tomorrow
