The one where she feels sorry for herself because:
-I just realized that I am going to be making lunches for others for a very long time
-No matter what I make a dinner there are going to be complaints
-One child in particular is sucking the life out of me
-The guilt I feel for "not being nice" is overwhelming
-The thought of waking up pre-dawn is depressing me
I'm not having a good day.

(oops, accidentally published before I could finish.) Sounds a tiny bit like my life too. I can relate, Meanie. It all gets so overwhelming sometimes. I hope today is better
last night speedy had the mother of all tantrums because she wouldnt do as she was told so i took tv away all night. she HATED me. she cried for like an hour straight. that is preteen attitude. enjoy your wee girl attitude while it lasts.
mary - thanks, it's to feel not so alone on days like that
alison - thanks for commiserating..kudos to your, you're a single mom doing it all!
jobthingey - gonna hug them both hard this afternoon when I pick them up, and take a few deep breaths when they start acting up again at dinner time.
Check, check, check, check and check. On the plus side you're still as adorable as can be and another couple of weeks and the days will start getting longer again!!
I don't know what it is about this week but The Boy is making me insane too.
Life is hectic. It's going to be hectic for a long long time.
