Losing Patience

Go On, Go Home

Send Me Love

I know I mentioned this a few days ago but I am really losing it as a parent.

Claudine has been on call since Thursday and won't be off until Monday @ 7:00 A.M. She is in and out of the hospital so I am pretty much responsible for the three kids. And I just can't keep it together. I feel that I am being so short with the boys. And I feel that I am neglecting them. They want to go swimming or play with me outside but I really can't do much when I'm feeding or carrying an infant. And once I get Annie to sleep or just sit contentedly by herself for a few minutes, all I want to do is sit and veg. I know (at least, I hope) it will get better as Annie gets older. But I don't remember it being this bad when Bobby was born. We shall see. Hmmm, just a really poor entry.
