I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadna been for those pesky kids

This morning, by 09:15, I had put on a load of laundry, put dinner in the slow cooker, hoovered the two downstairs rooms, washed, dressed and fed myself and Linnea, washed the breakfast dishes, taken my pills, and tidied up generally. So I went to change Linnea's nappy, at 09:15, so that we could leave the house by 09:30.

I've just finished calming her down from her tantrum. The nappy came off more or less ok, but getting the second one on took until 09:35, and then she threw a screaming heebie jeebie and wet it again. She's still in it because I can't face changing her again just yet. I've bribed her with a muffin, and at 10:00 it will be time for Teletubbies, and I'm hoping that if I change her in front of the TV it will be ok.

The reason I wanted to leave at 09:30 was to attend a La Leche League meeting at 10:00 and when I called at 09:45-ish I got no answer anyway, so perhaps it was cancelled.

What. A. Day. She had screaming horrible nightmares again last night; came into our bed screaming in her sleep, as far as I could tell, and refused cuddles, the breast, stroking, patting, and any other consolation for minutes.

Breakfast was fun, though - I had to feed her while she played peekaboo, sometimes covering her eyes and sometimes her mouth. She fed her teddies (a rabbit and an elephant, today) but not herself. No doubt she had her reasons.

Tantrums are the pits :/

Holly has all ready started them & Kate still very occasionally has one. The odd day when they both throw one is not pleasant.
