Other stuff happens. Despite their frustration that I have to spend all day, every day rocking Miri in the sling. I snatch moments to grab paper, paint, to help with the computer or provide more snacks. Constant rocking, I am standing and rocking now. When she goes to sleep, I rock or she wakes. 
I am bone achingly tired. The bags on my eyes are almost jaw level. I fantasise about being able to just sit down. I feel that a day more will shove me right over into depression and I don't have the energy to do any of the things that could get me out.

I don't know you feel about it, just wondering if she'd go in a bouncy chair that you could still rock with your foot, but allow you to sit down for a bit?
So wish I could physically help, be it entertaining the other kids, or taking a turn rocking for you,s o you could sit down. Any nearby friends who could help? Remember to call on your community.
Aw mama, that *does* sound exhausting. (hugs)
Thinking of you Clare, we had a difficult first few months with Jahara too and it is exhausting. It really does pass but that's not a huge consolation while you are in the thick of it i know.
Big Hugs to you

Hugs to you Clare. If I was nearby I would happily snuggle Miri for a while or help with Fliss and Leni. I hope you are able to find some support locally. I remember that tiredness. You are doing a wonderful job x
