mood swings....

Why is it when you've had a bad day (or days) that every little thing seems so much bigger than it is?

Okay...potty training...in a word, it sucks. For me and my kid at least. Let's just say we are in a battle; and right now; she is so winning....the only way I can get this kid to not pee all over the floor is to literallyy, sit beside her 10 hours a day...while this may not sound so horrible; the very second I decide to get a glass of juice, or check the mail; or answer the phone....BAM! My kid is peeing on the floor. And now, because I am changing her ways of doing things; she is completely retailiating on me; acting in ways I have never seen her act. Throwing things; screaming at me, making demands....I am starting to realize why some people spank their kids....I had to walk away for a second actually contain myself before I lost my mind...at which point...she peed on the floor...

Needless to say when my husband walked in the door; I was so relieved, I almost peed on the floor! Yay! I can now catch my breath...walk away for a few minutes and let someone else being the evil one for a while....you can guess by my sarcasm exactly how well this turned out...within minutes, my name was being screamed; for help with tasks so simple that small rodents would be able to complete without assistance. I actually stated to the two of them; "do not call my name unless you are on fire." Apparently my family catches on fire A LOT.

All the little things that normally don't bother me are making me nasty, crazy and uber-bitch. I came from a girlfriend's house (I had to escape for fear that I may actually throttle them both!)to discover that she had now peed on a chair, the dishes weren't done and the vaccum was in the middle of the kitchen floor. Again, nothing here that is major, but just enough to drive me back up to nutty all over again....I am actually wishing for the "insane stamp" that Homer Simpson had on his hand...at least then no one would blame me for a brief episode of psychosis.

Diapers are our friend speople...this whole thing is just stupid....
