I'm really wondering if maybe I'm watching more than I can comfortably handle at once or if maybe the addition of the new baby has thrown the wrench in things. My nap time has been non-existent since she started and her and the other baby (15 months) have been fighting for my attention since she started.
I'm just feeling very overwhelmed throughout the day and I hate to feel like this.
It's almost Friday I guess

HUGS! It's FRIDAY!!!! I have 12 full timers but just downsized to 8. I think it will be MUCH more manageable. Don't let it go too long so you are so frazzled you can't stand it! But maybe it will just take a bit longer for everyone to get into a good routine? Hugs?!
