give me strength

To go back out into the lounge room and deal with my nearly 3 year old in a calm way. I am locked in my room cos I am gettign angrier and angrier by the minute. i have not had a day like this in ages _ I forgot to takle my epo a few days in a row and this is what happens grrr. Plus Jack is overtired cos 2 days in a row he had a "nap" which ended ant 6pm and then partied all night until 10pm plus. He has been absolutley wired all day when we were out this morning I swear he didn't stop bouncing off the walls. And now he wont sleep and will probably crash at about 4pm and wake again at 6 starting the cycle all over again. ARRRGH!!! He is yelling at me right now (not crying) and blowing raspberries at my door. So much for gentle guidance! NOt doing so good at it today. Thank goodness for Kindy tomorrow. Have not said that in a while either. Please give me strength to be nice to my son until tonight. I might even have to withhold boob until its an appropriate time for him to sleep (well after 6pm) that might work. ahh bugger can't even take him to the park cos I told him that only if he had a sleep we would go. (he'd fall asleep in the pram anyway, but now its too late for him to nap). One of the annoying thigns about having uni, I can't just go with the flow when it comes to sleep as much as I would like to. I have a 9am class tomorrow.
Sorry, this is mostly just a vent. I know why all this is happening.

I hear ya! Ive been having those days for a while. Its so hard huh? I also have been dealing with an over tired 3 yr old who wont sleep and would rather scream at me and throw physical tantrums than rest nicely. Shes normal normal normal and then all of a sudden NOT! I find that I just have to leave her to tantrum in the room or I will loose it myself. Sometimes I think shes like that poem, THere was a little girl, who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good she was very very good, but when she was bad she was Horrid!
Oh, I dont really mean she's horrid, but Im sure you understand what I mean. You gotta love 'em dont ya? :-)

I do love him and yes I know what you mean! I just wish he would grow out of needing a day sleep already lol! funny it takes only 5 minutes at his kindy to get him to sleep after lunch some days.

oh I so know how you feel, especially with the inflexibilty of uni and naps. I just deferred my degree for 12mths, but a few weeks ago it seemed like every second day was like this, I felt like I was about to have a nervous breakdown somedays.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow
