    It's not you, it's me.

    I'm totally having one of those days where the kids are driving me crazy.....but it's not them, it's me! Everything they do is bugging me....the constant questions, the noises, the way they eat...everything. Only it's all normal behaviour for their ages...
    I had a good sleep and have to reason to be irritable, but I am. Just wanted to share my frustration...at least I have 2 hours of peace right now
    I think I'm at a point when my kids are finally becoming "big kids". Their both in school, so we don't need all these gates, and locks and baby toys. I feel like I should be passed this point, but obviously given my job, I'm not. It's maybe resentment in a way, which I'd better snap out of because I plan on doing this for another decade. And don't get me wrong, I do like my job...just wish my house could grow up with my family....

    I'm having an irritable day too....and I went to bed early last night! I think it's the winter dressing and being late for my son's school this morning that set it off on the wrong tone. I've managed not to let the kids see it, but they are all annoying me for no real reason today too! I feel for you! Let's hope tomorrow is better!

    I think it is because there is a full moon tomorrow! Around my house everybody gets a little (ok, a lot) batty! The kids, the dogs, and especially me after dealing with all of them!

    Hon ~ we are all human and it is normal to have days where we are just not playing our A game ... hope your afternoon picks up!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    There's a lot of that going around here as well. I kinda like Harmoni's "Full Moon" theory though.

    Hmm...I'm having a yucky day too. Sending out virtual hugs----
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    Is it getting close to that TOM? I find that I'm really irritable...like right now, lol) when TOM is getting close. I have way less tolerance for things.

    gcj it sounds like you need a vacation. Do you have lots of time off coming up at Christmas? When you work too hard at any job you suffer burnout. We work loooooong days and we burn out once in a while. We have to watch out for that and take care to pamper ourselves now and then.
