Huge
for you both, Katherine & Gem, for losing loved ones.
Finally found some time to get on & catch up! Hadn't been on in about 6 weeks & was expecting a whole load of pages to read but I was pleasantly surprised there was only 7! You've all been much quieter over the past few weeks, clearly!
I have a message at the top of the page telling me I haven't posted in several weeks as well! Feel like BnB is telling me off
Life is non-stop here. I'm constantly on the go from 5.30am-ish (usually when one or both of the boys decide it's time to start the day
) until about 11pm when I've finished jobs round the house/marking/planning. On the plus side, I'm half a stone under my goal weight now
Actually weigh less than I did on our wedding day
Until I was a mum of 2, I used to think people were lying when the said the didn't have time to eat or forgot to eat cos they were so busy. Now I get it!!
Rex is certainly defiant. And the smirking!!! God, that face infuriates me!! I know for a fact that most of his poor behaviour & dinner time melt downs are caused by tiredness but he just will not sleep any later than 5.30/6am. He's asleep between 7.30-8pm so he's clocking up around 10-10.5 hours a night but he needs more. His room is totally blacked out too so it can't even be the light. Last week, I decided to try a digital alarm clock. He has to stay in bed until the first number is a 6. He managed it 5 out of 7 days. I made a huge fuss of him on the mornings he managed it & just calmly explained why he shouldn't be up on the other days so will just have to see how it goes. I'm dreading him doing full days at school in September. I think his behaviour will just get worse as he's more tired
Leo is a full-on walker these days. Fun, fun, fun!!
Two boys running around & climbing on everything is a nightmare. (Seriously don't know how you manage with another one in the mix too, Katherine!) Leo is also a complete pest with emptying every box, drawer or cupboard he get into
Rex never did that so it's all new to me! He's also turned into an early riser recently
At least he generally STTN, which Rex never did at 12 months old!
Work is still utterly s*%t. Should be getting next year's timetable grid to sort out in the next week or so. If that's not any better, I'm handing my notice in before the half term deadline. Hate it
I've been having a really stressful time dealing with some serious issues with some close friends of ours. All linked to issues between Rex & their LB. Or so they say. It's been causing me massive anxiety as they handled it so badly that I just can't see how we can continue to be friends with them as a family
