Hi Em
Rushig around and pancing about being late for things still sends me into a mess. I just try to give myself LOADS of time between things as often as possible as i know if I start stressing it will affect me really badly x
Glad you are feeling much better today babes, I hope this week ahead is a good one for you x

The being late thing still gets to me too and I pretty sure I'm all better (save for atrocious PMT). I can totally see how being late for school pick up would panic you. I'd be exactly the same and it would be on my mind all the time.
I don't know about you youngest but mine seems to delight in throwing her food etc when she knows I'm not in the mood to deal with it - drives me bloody bonkers

Thank u ladies.... I'm not on my own with this am I??
Had a terrible night last night. Tomas woke up with the most awful barking cough I've ever heard about midnight. I gave him calpol and cough medicine but he couldn't stop. I remembered someone telling me croup sounds like a bark and the best treatment is breathing in steam. So, turned the shower on and sat in the bathroom with him. It did seem to help.
I finally got him settled and then Theo started screaming. Went and cuddled him back to sleep and put him back to bed. About 25 mins later he started again. Got him up and gave him some calpol but he wouldn't stop screaming. I was scared he was going to disturb the other two so brought him downstairs. I eventually got him to calm down and an hour later got him back to bed.
Predictably, it was then Jake's turn. I was so tired by this point. I just got into bed with Jake and he went back to sleep and i finally got some sleep. Jake then woke up at quarter to six and woke me up to ask if he could play on his playstation. I said yes and went back to sleep.
Had a pretty rubbish day today just cos everyone is so exhausted. Tomas didn't go to nursery. After lunch I put T and T to bed and went back to bed myself for an hour.
Hope they sleep tonight......

Had a crappy weekend and I'm feeling rubbish.
I was so cross with OH yesterday. Mothers day - the one day in the year I expect not be having to cook Sunday lunch. Said to OH last sunday that I was looking forward to having my dinner cooked for me on Mothers day. Then when Sunday came nothing was happening in the kitchen and I knew he hadn't bought anything so I said to him "Shall i make a sandwich then?". No he says I've planned something really special - an omlette.... A bloody omlette.... Great. I wasn't happy. Its not as if he can't cook - he just couldn't be bothered.
Later on he decides he wants to sit on his backside and watch football. Thought it was meant to be me putting my feet up. No such luck, I've gotta run around after the three boys and keep them out of his way. The selfish pig. I wouldn't dream of doing this on Father's day... maybe that's where I'm going wrong.
The day ended with a row once the kids were in bed. It was inevitable. He wanted a bit of bedroom action... I didn't want to be within a hundred miles of him. Told him I'm feeling very unappreciated and very fed up but all he can think of is himself - again. He said a few nasty things then went to sleep leaving me to lay awake and cry for ages.
Been really down all day today. The house is a mess. I don't feel like doing anything. T been really naughty at lunch time - wouldn't eat his dinner or then get his uniform on for nursery. We ended up being late. After nursery I had the usual mad run to J's school where I also had to pick J's friend up. Only 7 minutes late today....! J's friend was being a pain in the rear end - trying to get little T to say rude words then really naughty at tea time - which my boys went on to copy.
OH really pissed me off tonight. He came home from work with some of them vacuum storage bags and decides he's going to empty the airing cupboard and sort it out (half an hour before I need to put T to bed in that room). So, he tips out all the stuff on to the carpet then shouts me to come and sort out what can go in his crappy bags. To keep the peace I did. Only he didn't think through what he'd do with it after, and after deliberating for a while decides it was better as it was in the beginning...... Of course its me that has to put it all away, and he has to have a long hot bath - he has been at work all day......
MEN... what planet are they from. I don't understand how his mind works. Don't think he's got any idea how low I'm feeling or why.

Hi Em
I am so sorry you have had a pants couple of days. I think its a mothers day thing as I had a fall out for the first time in ages with my hubby on Mothers Day evening, and was not impressed that he had picked that day to start having a go at me!!
Sounds like you might need to sit down and have a chat with him about things. You need more help and appreciation hun, and men are rarely capable of figuring this our for themselves!!
I hope your week picks up for you babes and will be thinkin of you x

Things picked up this week and I was feeling better. Then today a stupid incident has made my mood plummet.
I took Tomas to nursery this afternoon and he rode there on his scooter - which he loves. I then put the scooter in the back seat of my phil n teds pushchair and set off home with Theo. We have to cross a railway crossing on the way home. As I set off across the warning lights came on so I started to run, and the scooter fell on to the tracks. I couldn't do anything - the barriers were coming down so had to leave it. Unfortunately the train came hurtling down that track and his lovely scooter is now in a million pieces scattered between here and nottingham I guess.
I was so gutted and upset. I know its only a scooter but it doesn't take much to send me off course. My dad has already ordered him a replacement scooter from Blooming Marvellous and it will be here in 5 days, but I feel so guilty. Have not told him what happened, will have to come up with a story before he looks for it tomorrow morning when we take J to school.
No-one understands why I'm feeling down tonight. If my OH says one more time its only a scooter, no-one died, I'll slap him. He's buggered off out now to watch football. Glad really - want to be on my own.

Feeling better again today. Had a good cry last night which seemed to help.
T asked where his scooter was this morning - told him it was in his nan's car and she'd bring it over next week for him. He accepted that and didn't question what it was doing there!
Glad its almost the weekend....

Hi Em
That's the thing with this bloody illness - anything can set you off and it's all but impossible to pick yourself up out of it.
I hope today has been better for you x

The scooter arrived today!!!
Was funny cos T took one look at it and said "Its so shiny, you are clever to make it so clean", then he looked at it more closely and said "The wheels look new mummy all the scratches have gone" .... So, told him it was a new one, but didn't mention what happened to the old one!! He's a happy little boy now.
Feeling OK in myself at the moment. Just hopin no lil accidents this week to bring me down...!

Had a really good week.
Coping much better now with the stress of running from nursery to school - got some really good friends around me that are helping a lot. I don't think they realise how much they are doing in the battle for my sanity!
My washing machine broke last night. It was full of washing and refused to open or do anything. In the end I forced the door open with a few kitchen knives and a chisel. My friend came over and picked up all our dirty washing and brought it back this morning washed and dried. Was bit worried bout affording a new washer but my wonderful mum and dad stepped in and suprised me by buying one - its coming on tuesday.
So, feeling positive at the moment and very thank ful to so many people that are being amazingly kind...!
