Sounds like Sandra needs a mommy-only holiday. Tell daddy that *he* has to take care of the little ones for the weekend, and mommy should go somewhere quiet -- mountains, beach, etc., by herself and relax and come home on sunday afternoon to a dinner prepared by daddy.
Few things are more stressful than buying a house. Add mommy stress and a little depression, stir it up really well, and you have a rotten week. Life will get better, but not until you take care of mommy for a change.

> Kids whining non-stop today and I'm not in the mood to be their horsey. Something just came over me today (no it's not PMS) and I spent about 2 hours out of today crying. It doesn't get me anything but a headache. I am not suicidal, I just am tired. Tired of people looking at my life as though it's perfect. The perfect life (on Earth) doesn't exist. I'm a married at-home-mom with a boy and a girl and just bought a house, we go to church and seem like the happy/perfect little family. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of people thinking stay at home mom's have it so easy (especially with kids that are toddlers or teenagers!) and I'm... oh nevermind.
