Nico

i have just had the worst bedtime ever with Nicholas.  he point blank refused to stop playing wiht his lego and gt ready for bed. so i took it from him, in the process it disintegrated, and put it on a high shelf.  he followed me and hit me and yelled and hit me some more.

i dragged him into his room, kicking and screaming and took his clothes off him.  coulnd't get his pj's on him, and he ran upstairs. so i dragged him back down and took him into the bathroom and brished his teeth. well, waved his toothbrush around inside his mouth.

then basically left him lying on his floor.  thomas is in bed being good, of course.

i did all this while drenched in sweat from the almost constant hot flushes that i've been experiencing now for the last couple of weeks.  not to mentiuon the exhaustion post herceptin, which also seems to be a constant these days.

and we took Bill to the airport this afternoon.  he's back on friday. 

wish me luck, i'm going to need it

Arrrgghh I can barely cope with that bullshit when it gets flung at me and I'm not dealing with all the additional stuff. *huge hugs* hopefully he was just overtired?

I admire your restraint, I get so angry when my kids act up that I end up screaming at them and feeling guilty for the next week.

it's not restraint. and i never feel guilty for the screaming ;)

sometimes i just realise that a softly spoken angry mummy is more effective than a screaming banshee mummy.

he's in his bed now.

i hope he stays there.
