Ok, I'm sitting here, trying to breathe deeply and calm myself down and my toddler starts screaming for my attention, the baby was crying because she was hungry, my son's counselor called because I wanted to discuss his "fear" of electronics lately, and I just started to CRY! the counselor thinks Brendan is on "overstimulation" mode and noises and just all the chaos in the house is making him uneasy! Hello? How does she think I feel? LOL. Ok, so it's not all about me :(

I called my Dh and told him I hated being a SAHM. I totally took it out on him. I told him that someone always needs me, I'm tired of being on call 24/7 and that I just don't like being a mom to two small babies right now. My gawwwwwwwwwd. He says "you just need time away from time to time"......yeah, how about every day? LOL. So I have one on my left hip crying and falling asleep and the baby on the other crying and drooling. I sat on the couch and just cried. Got up, popped a xanax, drank a ton of water, and my chest is still killing me.

I never thought having one more added child would cause so much stress to an entire family. We all so feel it. Even my other kids and DH. Anyone have ANY advice?????

Feeling like I'm at the end of my rope here.

(((hugs))) Your dh offered the best advice - you need some time away, time to yourself!
