Calgon Take Me Away! PLEASE
Man what a couple of weeks I have had. It all started last Monday when my son fell down and had to go to the ER to get a cut on his head closed up. He fell playing the computer and almost needed stitches, but fortunately they used skin glue instead. Then my 1 year old got sick, just a cold, but he is also teething like crazy. He has been so difficult to please, and getting into everything! I know he is feeling bad so I am trying to be a little more understanding and patient, but man! I don't know if its because I am not giving them enough attention, I can't imagine that, but they both are getting into things they know they are not suppose to, fighting which they usually don't do, and I hate to sound like an horrible mom but they are just driving me bonkers. Its like I haven't been able to sit down and just breath in two weeks. Is my 16 moth old hitting the terrible twos? And is there such a thing as the terrible threes? Now I run a daycare, and I think its funny that my daycare kids are behaving like angels, while my own children are climbing the walls. I am afraid they are being bad influences on them. I feel like I am always hounding my children too, and I don't want the other kids to think I am getting mean all of a sudden. They probably wonder why Erin is acting nuts. I wish I could escape to a retreat and sleep, take bubble baths, and listen to ocean sound for a whole weekend. The problem is I would miss my kids too much! Even though they are driving me bonkers right now, I have a hard time being without them.

Is there anyway you can get a small break? A weekend away may be out of the question (for us all), but how about an hour? Get some coffee? Window shop? Something little like that?
ALL kids (no matter what the age) go through phases like this. And ALL moms have times where they just want to run out the door screaming with their hands over their ears. I'm just sorry that both your boys hit it at once! Yikes!
All I can say is, try and find some little time for yourself. And hang in there! :)
