losing my cool

[Guest guest]

Since school started for my 4 year old I have been running around

with my head cut off. She is attending a special ed kindergarden in

the morning and a regular private kindergarden in the afternoon. I

think she can handle the schedule most of the time but she is

getting double homework. I work full time and so does my husband.

He has been working nights this month so I have been dropping off

the kids and picking them up. I always feel like I am running 15

minutes behind. I wake up at 6 am to start mixing my daughter's

supplements and finish her lunch. I wash the dishes the night

before and make as much of her lunch as I can (except enzyme mixed

in peanut butter). My son (22 months with Regulatory Disorder,

Impulsive Type) wakes up when I am at the end of preparing

everything. He needs to be held and slows everything down.

Basically I rush everything to get my daughter to school by 8:10.

We are usually late or just in time. I have been getting more

aggitated as it seems harder to get the supplements into my daughter

and I am getting up over 2 hours before school starts. I rush to

pick up my daughter by 5:30 and then get my son and do not get home

until 6:15. I have not been able to cook anything and it would not

matter anyways because my daughter has not wanted to eat dinner.

Dinner time is a nightmare of me raising my voice as one kids hits

someone and the other starts screaming and no one eating. Somehow I

try to give them a bath every few nights and do homework everynight.

I never spend anytime playing with them, especially my son. The

kids have no down time and I feel this is part of why they are both

so difficult. I don't know how to get everything done. Before all

this homework things were better, but also I was not doing all these

supplements before.

I could use some suggestions,
