Tomorrows packed lunch made, school snack in bag already. DS1's school clothes out, DS2's 3's group clothes out, DS2's 3's group bag ready, DS2's breakfast in a lidded pot ready.

Im showered, hair washed and pj'd. Supper dishes done and Im going to do one load of washing. Watch some tv and come up here at 9pm to cuddle up to DH (its his birthday tomorrow!) and watch Law and Order!

Sorry yes thats his age, imagine 11 kids:eek::eek::eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:
If I had 11 kids I would no way be a SAHM I would be a work 24/7 365 days a year sort of mum, or a kids all away at boarding school kind of mum.:D

Had to laugh at this. Although it reminded me of that show recently about kids going off to boarding school - interesting as the thought may be on certain stressful days, I could never do it! Imagine sending your 8yo away to boarding school - I still trying to get past the idea of sending my 3yo to school in September (he turns 4 in July) and I'm absolutely beside myself thinking he's too young!! :eek:

I am feeling so incredibly unorganised!! Not getting things done I need to. Worried that I might be suffering a bit of PND. Never had it before, but feel positively wrong. Not harmful or dangerous, but just not up to anything if that makes sense. Stressed, teary, aggravated, frustrated, angry, exhausted, and alternately too tired to bother sometimes. I'm caring fine for the little ones (in fact, probably being a complete helicopter mum, hovering) but it just feels so draining.

Glam - we moved DS3 into his own room just recently, and I will admit that I hated it at first. We thankfully have an Angelcare monitor, so that helps my paranoia somewhat. The alarm went off about 2 weeks ago - he'd wedged himself awkwardly in the cot with his face down and side of face smashed againt the cot bars. He did a big gasp when I picked him up, but it scared me senseless! I swear I'm leaving that monitor on him til he's 16! He's a tummy sleeper and likes to often turn his face down - I'm forever turning his head when I check on him. I had a horrible time sleeping for the longest time as I was so freaked out about his sleeping positions that I was afraid to go to sleep for fear something would happen if I wasn't awake to turn his head so he could get air. It's nervewracking!

I've been OK about him being in there and we have the BT 150 monitor which is quite sensitive but not motion sensor.

He's just teething at the mo so not very happy

No, I mean donate to someone who'll enjoy them. We have so much crap, and I'm trying to lose baby weight and OH has 80% of a rotten pancreas so can't eat much of it. It's GOING.

I'm keeping the hobnobs though.
