Chris has gone back to work

So I am now home alone with 2 kids! Its so daunting and so hard I can do anything coz I daren't leave Caitlin alone with Thomas as she will stick something in his mouth or something.

Had a little cry when Chris left this morning, even he didn't want to go to work bless him.

I got up all night last night with Thomas, he's got a bit of a cold so he was up quite a lot as he kepy spitting his dummy out so he could breathe through his mouth but then he was wanting to suck his dummy.

Chris got Caitlin ready this morning and got he washing out the washer and put the bin out all before he went to work bless him.

My mum and dad will be picking Caitlin up at about 10.30am. I will then finish housework, get myself ready and give Thomas his bottle then go down my mums.

Going to make Shepherds Pie for tea tonight so will come back early to make a start on that.

I seriously don't know how people have more than 1 child! It is so hard, I can't handle 2 on my own never mind 3 4 or 5!

Anyway thats my rant over sorry x

Aww hun don't worry you will be ok,
I felt the same way after I had my little boy, sophie-louise was 3 and I though there was no way i would manage but once you get yourself into a routine you will be fine.

Before you know it OH will be home. xxx

Well I have flipped already

Went to get the washing out the tumble and came back in to find Caitlin trying to force Thomas's dummy in his mouth when he was asleep, she forced it that much that she made him wake up and he was gagging then sick. Managed to get him back to sleep and Caitlin is now in her room watching CBeebies.

She has been crying since 8am to go to bed (she was up at 6.45am) I took her dummy and her jama's off her (what she usually has to go to sleep) and told her if she was so tired she would go to sleep without them.

I dont want her going to sleep now as she only has one nap a day and if she goes to sleep now she will be in a twisty mood all afternoon.

I've told Chris we need to get a blackout blind for her room coz shes getting up at the crack of dawn, literally!

Chris has only been gone 1 1/2 hours and I'm knackered already
