Somewhere FAR, FAR away

That's where I was wishing I was yesterday afternoon..... somewhere far, far away from my house.

It was one of those afternoons that I had 20 gazillion things on my mind and just needed for my kids to be good. When you really need those days, they so don't happen! LM decided he wasn't going to take a nap even after I put him in his room for an hour. Every toy, book, & piece of clothing he could get his hands on was thrown. I went upstairs no less than 5 fives. I even pulled out "mean mommy." The child was off the chain and in no way whatsoever intimidated or threatened by me.

Wishing I was far, far away!

Finally, at 3:30, I let him out of his room. Told him he wasn't being allowed to go outside because he wouldn't nap and the way he was acting. I tried EVERYTHING with this child yesterday. I spoke sternly, put him in time out, yelled, popped his leg...... did not phase him one damn bit! Finally, I just straight up ignored him.

Wishing I was far, far away!

Baby Boy was just peachy as long as I was holding him. *eyeroll* So here I was holding one child and trying to discipline another. Half of LM's toys ended up taken away because every time he threw one.... I'd put it up.

Wishing I was far, far away!

Luckily, dinner was partial cooked when TH got home. He called on his way home and said he'd had a crappy afternoon dealing with work drama.... my response, "Prepare yourself! Cause it ain't a cake walk around this joint today!" Dinner went smoothly until LM woke BB up from his nap in the swing. Let the crying begin!

Wishing I was far, far away!

I needed to exercise.... for my own peace of mind and for those around me. TH was folding clothes and had locked LM in our bedroom with him to keep him out of my way. BB was screaming at this point wanting to nurse and go back to sleep. I sent TH a message from my crackberry to his..... "I quit. Running away." His response, "You dork." So, I went for a long walk with BB in his jogger.

Wishing I was far, far away....... exercised instead!
