Total Chaos

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Taking a short break from a grueling workday to tell it like it is around here.

Potty training seems to have been a success. Although we are not totally accident free, we are pretty close.

HOWEVER.

Everything has been thrown into total and utter chaos. 

I have barely slept since Thursday.

Kids don't nap.

Kids don't go to bed. 

Luke is up in the middle of the night.

Kids are up for the day at 5 AM.

My husband's got schoolwork/a big test today. And work.

I have an overwhelming work deadline end of day today. (Work that's time consuming and also very very very complex.)

I am so mentally and physically and emotionally exhausted all I want to do is cry.

And yell at my kids, which I barely ever do.

Kids are exhausted and cranky.

Husband is exhausted. Mother-in-law is exhausted. (Luckily they are not cranky.)

Leaning hard on my mother-in-law and she is helping TREMENDOUSLY...I mean really above and beyond, ie watching the kids all day today (she usually just does a few hours in the afternoons), urging us to do our early morning workout even if it means she may have to get up at 5 AM (which I love her for offering...but that's too much).

My mother offered to fly down and help (thanks, Mom!) but we're holding off for now. My husband says he has a plan...

I haven't felt like this since the kids were infants and I was feeding them round the clock.

Obviously, big changes with potty training and toddler beds, so there is a reason behind all this.

But still...absolutely drowning...

XOXO

P.S. Plus I feel terrible about having a hard time with any of this. This is not a real problem and in the big scheme of things is absolutely no big deal I know...
