5 minutes is not enough!

My battle for some time alone continues…

My husband did try to give me some time alone today. As soon as he came home, he took care of them, and in my 5 minutes alone, I fell asleep! I fell asleep for 5 minutes and then was awaken by screams from downstairs…

I thought that it was best to give them dinner before they started to get hungry… and so ended my first 5 minutes alone.

My kids have a problem with their own room… for some reason they are CONSTANTLY in my room these days… so after we come up from dinner I chased them out of my room and locked the door!

After about 15 minutes they were banging on the door trying to get into the room, although daddy was supposed to be babysitting them. (I think that my husband cannot handle all 3 kids at once)

Sometimes I feel like I am going to explode! Like today. I can handle my kids, but somedays it seems like the insanity never ends… my precious little baby has been crying non stop (at least so it seems) for the past week. Is he teething? I forgot what babies could be like… can a first time mom tell me if this is normal at 5 months?!? Needy. Cranky. Fussy. Screaming. Wants to be held ALL the time! Is it normal?

At least the baby is sleeping now, and so is the preschooler. The toddler is at the foot of my bed digging into my toes. My husband is on his computer too. (looking at some car website!) The dishes are hanging out in the sink.
