A Crack in My Facade

So, early last night the kids finally did it, they broke me..... I called my husband crying my eyes out because my 5 year old wouldn't stop stomping her feet and screaming at me at the top of her lungs. I am really at a loss what to do with her (I am still waiting for the book recommended by the doctor). Her screaming is driving me insane - and it also let's Patrick think that it is ok to talk to me like that and he began yesterday morning yelling at me and also trying to take a swing at me. I am not going to be hit by and kids though and I can dodge him. I was definitely crying my eyes out though, feelings hurt and just spent.

Taking care of four kids all day is not all that it's cracked up to be - I mean I can't even take a few minutes to take a shower. If I do I never know where I will find my 3 year old when I get out. And all he wants to do is eat all day long and cries (loud and long) if I tell him he has to wait even 5 minutes before he has something to eat.

The babies are not all that much trouble, it is just that there are two of them and they both need attention at the same time. Well, not really, but if Jason sees that I am spending time with Antoine he gets upset and starts to cry. I have become rather adept at holding them both though - even though Jason reaches out for Antoine and I have to help him to keep his hands to himself......

Here's hoping today is a better day
