I am going to SCREAM

and start pulling my hair out!!!


Hannah has done nothing but be a royal pain in the butt all day... the WORSE case of the terrible 2's yet. She has cried, whined, climbed all over me, outright REFUSED to take her nap, and is now grounded to Brayden's playpen screaming her head off. She keeps climbing out and I have to keep putting her back in there.


Brayden hasn't had a nap at all today (and it's nearly 3 o'clock) because Hannah and Natalie won't let him sleep... so he's been screaming all day too.


I haven't been able to get Natalie's school work done, the kids have trashed the house, and I have gotten nothing done today except listen to constant fighting, bickering, crying, whining, and screaming.


I'm to the point that I'm about to completely give up on homeschooling, enroll Natalie in public school, and start looking for a mother's day out program for Hannah.


edited to say: will someone please pray for me... I feel like such a failure. Natalie wants to be homeschooled and I want to do it, but I just don't know anymore. I really need guidance right now.

Oh poor Desiree.

I hate days like that, and I only have to deal with 1 child, not 3 lol!!!

Hopefully this afternoon will be better, and the kids will give you a break for the next month!

Hang in there, you can do it!

Awww Desiree! You're having a bad day, that's all. Huge hugs to you. Now, take a deep breath, count to 10, and start over. I think it is fantastic that you want to homeschool Natalie. I give you tons of credit for being determined to do that. Don't give up yet. I'm sure once you get it going, you will get a routine down, and everything will be fine. One idea, tho, is there another mom around that you can swap kids with, so that while you are working with Natalie, Hannah has something to do? Maybe you can take her child in even trade, instead of having to pay a sitter, or something? It is worth a shot.

Hugs to you, honey. You need an extra one today (((HUG)))

Desiree,
im soo sorry you're feeling this way:( I also have days like you're having, but I only have one child to take care of, so I couldnt imagine 3! If you're feeling overwhelmed by homeschooling, then maybe it's best to send your daughter to a public school. Just do whats the best for you and your children, and I'll say a prayer everything works out!

I know how you are feeling.
When I homeschooled Andrew, my home was a disaster and very loud and not control.
I am sure you can do it and it will just take some time for things to fall into place. Dont give up yet!!
I hope tomorrow is better for you.

It must be in the air because Logan and Hannah were out of control today. I get so tired of the whining and crying. I hope tomorrow is better for the both of us. HUGE HUGS!!!
