I seem to have misplaced the instructions…

March 16, 2009 By 13 Comments

mouthHave you ever had one of those days where you thought that your kids were on a mission to drive you insane?

A day where no amount of reason dampens the storm of frustration brewing with the 5 year old when he can’t accomplish something?

A day where no amount of attention or comfort soothes the 16 month old when she cries for no apparent reason?

A day where even the dog has decided to torment you? He’s all pacing and whining and smelly.

If ever I fit the mold – accidental mommy – it was today. I desperately needed instructions and the convent sounds wonderful right now. And I’m not even Catholic. But I used to be. Does that count?

Actually, I should write the instructions.

step 1: ONE MELT-DOWN AT A TIME PLEASE!

And right now, it’s my turn.

    Sounds like you were at my house this week. I have the perfect cure for you!….

    I’ve got a shiny new baby that will be happy to join your family until she’s 18. Her cries will drown out the whining of all other children. ;-)

    Well it’s better to get it all over with in one day and then have the rest of the week calmer… Too bad it never works like that…

    I definitely know days like that. I’m just glad that they don’t last forever.
