Hi everyone!! Hope everyone is having a good day. Better than mine anyway. We have had 2 snow days this week, and it threw difficult child J's schedule all off. Things haven't been great here, but they haven't been terrible either. Today, yesterday.... well.... they were terrible.
Yesterday was difficult child J's day for lunch at school with his parents. easy child T has a terrible cold and I had to keep her home from school. difficult child had already gotten up and dressed when I decided to keep T home. He did a Dr. Jeckyl/ Mr Hyde on me. Went and hid in his room, refused to come out and go to school. He did go to school, but getting him into the car was not pretty.
Today was our second snow day of the week. He seemed excited to not have to go to school, but he argued with easy child S non-stop all morning. I'm still not sleeping at night so I usually go back to bed in the mornings after the kids get on the bus. Today I tried to sleep for a while but they were screaming, so now I'm exhausted, with the beginnings of a migraine, and being pregnant, I can't take anything but Tylenol. He has been hitting his sisters, screaming at me, name calling, peeling the paint off his bedroom walls, throwing things.... the only thing he usually does he hasn't done is hit or kick me, but I think that is because I try to stay out of his way when he is raging now, because I'm worried about him really hurting me, because of the pregnancy. We still haven't told the kids about that yet, I'm afraid if difficult child J knows, he will try to kick me in the stomach
We were supposed to have therapy here yesterday with our CM, but we rescheduled due to the weather. I talked to her on the phone and since out regular pediatrician won't schedule him for a Neuro psychiatric appointment, I'm going to take him to easy child's dev pediatrician because I know that she will refer him for it.
I just don't know what to do with him. I just want to curl up in the corner and cry. My head hurts, I'm tired, I'm grumpy.... I need to go get my shower so M and I can go out on our usual Friday nite dinner at Outback... and all I want to do is sleep. I can't shower because I can't leave difficult child alone with the girls.
How do I go about getting the respite you guys talk about? I'm really at the end of my rope here.
Today is one of the days I just don't want to be a mom anymore
Thanks for reading
Hugs,
Jan
