I admit to having those days once in a while. When I know that I'm having a bad day, I will turn on a movie or cartoons that I know the kids will watch, toss an old sheet on the floor, pop some popcorn, fill sippy cups with juice or water, and sit on the floor with the kids and watch a movie.

IMHO, you may be filling isolated and need to connect with another adult (either someone here or a trusted friend). Do you have a nearby park that you can walk to, somewhere the kids can run and scream? Isolation gets to me faster than anything else.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that things improve for you.
