Staying Afloat

Today is not a good day.  Things started falling apart around 10.  Laura is being super whiny, crying super easily, and just wanting tons of cuddles and my full attention.  This doesn’t work well when Warren wakes up and wants to eat.  I can’t give her full attention.  Then she wanted to sit on my lap and cuddle while he was eating.  For anyone who has any experience with breastfeeding, you know that this just isn’t possible.  So that set her off.  I actually gave her her first time-out this morning.  I told her she had until the count of 3 to stop crying.  I counted slowly, and she was still crying.  I put her in her room, closed the door, and set the timer for 2 minutes.  She of course cried the entire time.  She is too young to add on time for crying at this point (I feel this way).  So I went and got her out of her room.  I think it made things worse.  She was even worse with the crying.  I just gaver her half a sandwich and some pears for lunch.  She cried when she was done.  She didn’t even tell me she was done.  I simply took her to her room and put her down to nap.  Of course while she was eating, Warren decided he wanted to eat a little more.  He fell asleep, so now both kids are either sleeping or on their way there.  I sincerely hope this afternoon goes better.  If it doesn’t, I’ll be running out the door as sson as Robert gets home.  I don’t know where I’ll go, but I will leave.

   I think I could have written this post myself a couple times last year. I am sorry its been a rough couple days. If you need a listening ear just let me know. Both kids are down and I know how it helps to talk. I hope your afternoon turns around.
