The Dinner Meltdown-Mine

So we are into the second full week of school. 

I am not back into the "right body clock". 

The toilet overflowed into the kitchen and also into the basement-onto the baby paraphernalia stored down there.

Had to make a weekday run to Target with both boys (who thankfully were really good since I let them bring their wallets and buy something).

I am totally craving tons of chocolate-and not supposed to eat too much since I am doing Weight Watchers to try and get to a healthier weight.

So when the boys protested dinner....I went into a 2 minute lecture about how I was gonna send them to bed, or take their new toys back, if they didn't stop fighting me RIGHT NOW and go eat.  And really eat, not 2 bites and call it done.

Now, I know that "losing it" this way isn't that "bad".  It could have been much worse.  But I still just didn't like myself for a minute.  Did I mention that I wanted to yell at my hubby for not telling me the toilet was going to overflow into the basement? And it is his birthday today! 

And I am trying to potty train the 3 year old as he starts preschool in 6 days! 



Can we say Mommy is on overload?  The SPD kiddo had a rough first week back and took a mental health day on Friday (after vomiting Thursday night-and was TOTALLY fine the next day).  We considered holding off the 4 full days for a while, but have decided to 'stay the course' for now. 

Mommy needs to take some deep breaths, go to bed early, and relax.  It will all work itself.
