I have had a week like that this week - it has been horrible so I know exactly how you are feeling. I think I got through by alternating crying and punching my pillow. I wish I had some advice for you but I don't. I know what it feels like and the only way out for me was the DH has taken an annual leave day today so I have a long weekend to get my head straight.

Do whatever you need to just to get through today. I wish I had more to offer than that, but sometimes you just need to get through the moment and when you get a few minutes come up with a plan that will help you feel good about the things you are doing.

FWIW, I think you sound like a great mum and you are doing a good job. It is hard work. Sometimes, as a mum, you feel like you are top of the world and other days it feels like the world is on top of you. Cry, eat chocolate, put on a DVD for the kids or take them to the park and let them run wild ... do whatever you have to do to get through.

I wish I lived closer to you, we could have had crap weeks together
