here's a couple of options to use next time or if you have enuff time to implement them now...

write a list of what absolutely NEEDS to get done, if it doesn't need to be done now (laundering sweaters sitting in a closet could wait under the circumstances).. then do it later and just do only the things that need to be done.

I used to do the same thing your doing now which is put everything into a pile and try to get it all done.. and it becomes SO frustrating when you can't get it done and when you feel like your list is never finished.

any chance you can get a maid to come clean the house for you? in instances like this (when your going on vacation) or when you really can't take it (without the help) anymore..it PAYS to have a maid come help you out....yeah I know.. it takes some $$ to have a maid do a one time cleanup.. but for a clean conscience, less pressure and just to get it done it PAYS to hire a maid to get it done for you in under an hour or two! KWIM?! if anything, let the house go, give yourself a break and hire a maid when you come back to get it back to shipshape!

plus, during that time, you can be playing with ben so that he's not *feeling* the teething so much! when their little minds are occupied, they don't feel all the pressure/pain. are you using some anbesol or something? as far as him eating.. he may be hungry but when he's hungry enuff to eat (while teething), he'll let you know and he'll eat - it doesn't help to force it when his mouth is aching so much! see if he'd be interested in some sorbet or something. something cool to the touch might be just the trick.

your putting too much on your list - give yourself a break and do one thing at a time and if you really want to get it all done, hire a maid...your the mom, your sanity is well worth the sacrifice in money! and you can't depend on the men sometimes because they don't see or hear and tend to make you wait until you explode before they start helping you out!

btw.. what's an "eye teeth"? are you talking about the 2 front teeth?
