Anyone else having a long day?

[JennJubie]

I feel like today is just dragging... Not a bad day, just kind of boring and slow. I only have my one year olds today and it was so quiet this morning! It reminds me how much I miss the noisiness of the older kids playing :laugh:

[sunnydays]

Well my day has been not great actually...TGIF! All of my kids have been testing in so many ways today! I had everything going quite smoothly for a long time and now all of a sudden they have all decided to test at the same time! The 2 19 month olds and 2 two year olds have decided that stereo shrieking is reallly great fun...one 2 year old has been hitting me every time I tell him not to do anything...my sweetest easiest 19 month old has suddenly started saying "no" to me and refusing to do what I ask him to...my new dcg who I finally decided to keep has been throwing little fits all day...and my own daughter has been testing me for the past few weeks...and to top it all off, one of the 19 month olds had a giant blow-out poop that ran down his leg and into his sock on one side...which I did not notice until I got him on the change table...was wondering why his pants were wet...ewwwwww!!! Praying for a very long naptime today!! Oh, and please let this rain stop for next week...we really need to get outside!

Oh gosh !!! I had one really bad day yesterday ... Similar to you Sunnydays. Those days are tuff. Hang in there it's half way done !!

For me today has been great so far. We baked and cooked all morning and my own kids felt like cuddling together in the living room. My babies played really well on their own. So yeah, good way to start the weekend. Plus I just got an invitation for dinner at my sister in law so I do not have to cook tonight BONUS !!

I am having a long/short week?!? I added a day to the long weekend and only had to work wed, thurs and today but it has felt like the longest week ever....probably because I am not feeling well and just wanna go to bed.....KIDS have been ok they are pritty bored but seem to be ok with it lol TGIF I need a good and lonnnggg sleep :)

[JennJubie]

Sorry to hear you're having such a rough day, sunnydays :(

[mamabear]

Omg yes!!! It's cold, rainy and dreary here, same as yesterday. The day is dragging and I'm sooo bored!

[sunnydays]

And to top it all off I have a 19 month old who just woke up screaming...it never happens with him so I went to check and he is constipated...had a hard little pebble of poop in his diaper. I changed him and tried to put him back...we'll see. Apparently he was up for 2 hours in the night the other night because of these issues. Guess the two 19 month olds are at opposite extremes! Looks like a short naptime for me :(

[torontokids]

YES! Fridays are usually my favourite day mostly because I only have big kids and its a smaller group. But man, they are going at it today!

[sunnydays]

And now we have a chain reaction...they are all waking up...an hour before normal time :( Grrrr...this day just keeps getting worse....and I have a splitting headache!

[JennJubie]

:glomp: Hugs for you! At least it's Friday... here's to hoping the rest of the day goes a bit better!

Having a good day here except for the fact that I have hit an invisible wall of tiredness that won't go away! This weather is killing me.

I finally got mine all down. Had one of the kids throw up just as I was putting them up to the table for lunch so luckily plates were already loaded so I could pass out to everyone else and get them started before dealing with sick kid. Didn't know what else to do so put her up to the other side of the table, lined a tray with paper towels and gave her a glass of water while calling parent She is now gone but it all messed with the day.

I was supposed to be getting ready for an interview tomorrow for a child that just needs temporary care and would use from the time my one leaving for school goes end of June till early Fall. Really do not feel like getting ready for an interview now. At least it isn't till 10 am tomorrow.

The kids have all been tired and grumpy all week. Took basically till yesterday for them to catch up on lost sleep and be willing to do anything The weather sure has not helped at all.

[JennJubie]

I have an interview tonight at 5, I suppose I should be thankful for my slow day. I've been able to tidy up the house a bit, and since the babies don't tend to pull out as many toys, clean up was a breeze today!

[sunnydays]

Playfelt...thanks for sharing...I now feel better about my week! I feel like all week the kids have been getting more and more testy and I thought I had such a good group! I had one gone for a week and a half and now that he is back, the dynamic is different. He is really sweet and a good little guy, but is testing limits (he's 19 months) and the others are following suit. The stereo shrieking is probably the worst. I have started covering their mouths with my hand when they do it...still haven't found a solution to the shrieking :(

We had a visit from the cranky's this morning. My normally sweet kids were little hellions. They all have a cough, look dead tired and can tolerate very little. I pushed everything back an hour so they were in bed earlier and they slept for their regular time. Nice break in the afternoon, but I earned it in with the morning miserables:ohmy:

We were all out at the park all morning and wow was it cold! We stayed inside one morning this week for crafting and that's always my long morning of the week. Otherwise, we're out and travelling and it really solves my problems, no bad behaviour because we are too busy.

It's been raining all week here (with thunder storms thrown in as well)...otherwise we normally spend all morning outside as well...I think that's why they were so testy by Friday!

[Momof4]

Oh yes, that will do it Sunnydays. When we are housebound for an entire week I'm crankier than the children. Hope it's all sun all the time for you next week.
