I was going to post something this morning....A great craft for you to enjoy with your children....picture perfect.... But sometimes I get sick of seeing those pintrest perfect parents and today I am most definitely not one of them! In honesty Im tired, in fact no...Im exhausted! Yesterday ended with a screaming one year old (possibly chicken pox, possibly teeth who flipping knows) after midnight, only for today to begin at 4am with the four year old. (My girls appear to have the two hour rule at night time. If they wake, you might just as well kiss the next two hours goodbye.) So at 4am I am woken and continuously stirred every 15 minutes by my four year old for all manner of reasons, which then lead to my first hissy fit ( I dont cope well without sleep!) Then at 7.30am, when the day is due to start, everyone is still asleep. I have to drag them out of bed and ask her to do everything three times (at least) whilst willing my eyelids to defy gravity. The stress level is beginning to erupt like a volcano and thats when I lost it...... I screamed, shouted and cried, all of which Im not particularly proud of! I regained myself and said Im sorry whilst squeezing her so tight Im not sure she could breathe. We got out of the house slightly more emotional than earlier but we managed it. Only to then deal with the screaming on the school door... After having my child physically removed from my leg I am now a wreck! Im tired, feeling guilty, upset, (did I mention tired?) and feeling like the worst parent in the world. I havent written all of this because I am proud of it, in fact nothing could be further from the truth. I am utterly ashamed that I allowed stress and tiredness to consume me. I have written this because I am human, as we all are. If youve had one of those mornings, you are not alone! Parenting is flipping HARD!
