You guys. I don’t know what to say exactly, except that I’m losing control.

I’m losing control of my temper, my children, the house.

I was determined to make this day better than the last few days. But somehow, (and it’s only a little after noon), it’s already just as bad.

Mostly, it’s Ivy. She just turned four, and it’s like she flipped a switch and tuned me out. She literally will look at me while I’m talking to her, turn around, and start doing EXACTLY what I just told her not to do. Over and over. I can’t handle it anymore. What I say has absolutely no effect on her.

I’m sure you can understand just how frustrated this makes me?? I don’t know what to do with her.

On top of that, I’ve been drowning in laundry that I can’t seem to get a handle on. The house is a mess.

I’m just overwhelmed.

I’m not alone, am I?
