I usually go beat my head against a pillow , then scrounge the cupbaords for the chocolate I wasn't going to eat. If that fails I guzzle rescue remedy and lock myself in teh bathroom. Kate
it really helps me to have dh or a friend watch aedan for a 10 minutes, and th en just step outside and go for a walk.
i am in nyc, so there is tons of stuff going on outside to distract me, and then a few minutes later i go back inside.
it also helps me to relax and do some deep breathing exercises. i try to find a quiet place in the house and turn off some lights. if no one is around to watch ds he like to lay beside me and chill out a minute to.

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!
that's just it...he is in his 5th week of a seven week training. i am 23 weeks pregnant with twins who appearantly are resting on my pubic bone and it HURTS...i can't even ~go~ to an ob because we won't be "in the system" of dh's new insurance for 6 to 8 weeks and i can't call him to see if he can do something.
rest? bwahahhahahha! just taking the kids to school is killing me...my 2yo wants to be carried and i can barely do it because of the pain. and then there is the 2 yo boy i babysit several nights a week.
laundry, dishes, and these little people want to eat, too.
baths, washing heads, and clipping nails. darn those nails!
first of all (((hugs))). Danica I am so sorry you are dealing with this mama. I just tell dh "I am about to have a melt down and it isn't gonna be pretty. Can you please take the kids for a little while so I can get out and do ___?" If he isn't there I put the kids in thier bouncy seats by the batroom door and put a movie on for jack and take a long hot shower. I wish we lived closer. I would come give you a break for a while mama.

Dan, please don't pick up those kiddos mama. That is no good for you or the babies. I know it is hard because I went through the same thing with Jack, but sooner or later he learned that mommy just couldn't lift him and he did things more on his own. That pelvic pressure is so terrible. I also had that and it hurt me BAD to walk for any long length of time (like at the mall or grocery store.) I can also empathise about keeping the house up as well. The next time some irl person tells you to just let those things go ask if they will come over and do them for you...lol! Then say "really, can you come do them for me, I'm not kidding?" That will end those comments. Can you afford to hire some help? Like a teenager for after school, or maybe someone who could help get the kids to and from school? This will all be over soon mama and you will wonder where time went. I am so sorry you are having a rough go of it. Please pm me if you want to talk more about your twin pg woes. I will listen, and nod, and let you cry on my shoulder all you want. This is from a mama who has been there.

Some ideas... is your iron low? I start to really loose it, I know my iron is running a bit on the low side.
Wu Chi - deep tummy breathing, empty thoughts. It has been helping me immensely, and wigging out could be a daily occurance in this house/zoo.
Eliminate what is bothering you most. If it's stuff in the kitchen, find a way to block it off so the kids aren't able to get in there (this was a HUGE one for me). Be honest with yourself about what you need and troubleshoot to get what you need.
About the pubic bone - is it maybe out of whack? There were days that I couldn't walk when I was pregnant with Adam because it was so bad. I lived at the chiropractor. :-/ But, I was either there, or in bed... couldn't even kneel because it felt like someone was hitting me in the pubic bone with a baseball bat -worst pain I have *EVER* felt in my life. Basically what had happened was my pubic bone was slipping and one side was tilting up and behind the other side right in the middle. It was sooooo painful. it still hurts, just thinking about it. ouch
Oh, are you living my life? That is me......I don't know what I do. Usually have a few glasses of wine (which won't work in your case) and watch the kids run in circles until they crap out.
I pine for the days sometimes when I only had one kid, LOL!
Oh, another thing that has helped my kids behave a little better (aka listen better)... coutning backwards. Rather than counting up, I start with 10, or 5, or 3...whichever. Sets the time limit rght then. Just something that took some stress off...
hugs mama~
