Driving Crazy!

It's a short trip, I know. (I have to put that in there because I know every single one of my brothers would say that in response.)

Today was one of THOSE days! Begging and pleading for a listening ear from my determined and mischievous child.

Yes there were bright spots... any spot where I didn't need him to do something like: go to the potty, let me help put his pants back on after the potty, stop scaring the poor little baby on the rocking zebra at the park, stop running with sticks, get in the car seat and let me buckle him up, or fold his arms for blessing.

I'm too tired now to deal with him very effectively and when I do get the energy to swoop into a situation, I feel the consequences mere moments afterwards in aches and pains.

So, today I was driven crazy! When Aaron got home, I claimed the big, comfy chair and didn't move until Eli's bed time, letting Aaron take the reins. Now I'm back and I don't plan to leave it until I go to bed. I'm counting my walk to and from the park as my exercise (1.6 miles) and I'm just going to be happy with that. If I tried anything more tonight, I'd probably put myself into pre-term labor.

Is it ONLY Thursday?!

I'm so sorry Carrie! But don't feel bad, we all have those days. It feels like they are happening more and more often too. I hope you are having a better start to your week! Call me if you ever need to just vent. Love you!

Oh Carrie, I totally feel for you! You have every right to just sit and let someone else take the reins for awhile. You're having a baby for goodness sakes! On top of that, you're probably one of the most patient people I know. If it were me...I wouldn't have even lasted that long. That's how awesome you are :)
