I sympathize.
Right now we've got a 1 and 2 year old along with our 4 and 5 year old.
The mess alone from everyone leaves my skin crawling at the end of the day. I feel like it's a fruitless effort to even TRY to get the whole house clean. Sort of like that whole analogy, trying to shovel the driveway in a blizzard....
Yesterday I spent the better part of three hours cleaning up poop. The two little ones apparently ate a few too many raisins at snack time and well, that'll do it. Woke up from naps with poo up backs, down legs and all over beds and surrounding walls.
I WANTED TO RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!
I have moments like that most days
Thankfully all it takes is a smile or a giggle to remind me why I stay.
I'm so happy to hear your neice is going to be ok though, what an ordeal.
Just remember to breathe, you'll get through it hopefully with most of your marbles still intact. Who needs 'em all anyway, life is more interesting missing a few
