And then there are nights like tonight. As I write this it is 9:30 PM. My 3 year old is still awake. I've been dealing with trying to get kids in bed since 7:00. My son is going through a "screaming bloody murder unless someone is in the room with him, preferably holding him" phase and taking forever to fall asleep even when he is exhausted. It never fails that just as he is about to drift off my 3 year old will yell something out in the hall and get him worked up all over again. By the time I am done with him, I have no patience left for her typical pre-schooler bedtime shenanigans. You can put your pajamas on all by yourself? Well F'ing put them on already and stop playing with that damn hand towel. Then I speed read a book chosen for its brevity. The Princess and the Pea tonight, as story with no redeeming qualities that I can discern but it's short so I picked it. And then I feel bad because she hasn't done anything to deserve my snappishness and probably has no idea why it's pissimg me off that she won't just put the damn toothbrush in her mouth.
I don't whether to drink or cry.
You have no idea how much I understand! I have so many posts on this. It is hard, and then at the end of the night, I feel bad and like you don't know whether to laugh or cry. It was just a bad day. A better one is around the corner. Hang in there, momma. Following with bloglovin now.
