I was horrendous last night - very short-tempered and even smacked Tamsin twice (I HATE myself when I do that) and shouted a great deal (not too fond of myself about that either) :-(. I think I'm venting anger/frustration/stress that is more appropriately targeted elsewhere .... but I'm not sure my marriage will stand it if I aim it that way ... :-(
I think it would also help if we could get Tamsin used to going to sleep on her own, instead of one of us having to stay with her (usually lie down with her) until she's asleep. I think I'll draw up a sticker chart (I've been watching 'Little Angels'!) and tempt her with a My Little Pony or some such as a reward for learning to fall asleep alone. I also think I'll do myself a sticker chart for keeping cool and not blowing my top! Hmmm, what shall I reward myself with?
After all that, it's been a really nice morning today. Well, Tamsin is at playschool! And I've stayed awake instead of napping, so I've got several things done off my "To Do" list which have been waiting for ages. So that feels good :-)
The Health Visitor has phoned this morning, after leaving us alone for 4 weeks. I don't like her much, actually, but she rang to tell me about the times of the Baby Clinic, and as I'd like to know how much Isabelle weighs now (she's growing fast!) I'm just off there now, after which I will collect Tamsin.
