I thought Michael broke his hand this morning. He fell off the couch while trying to climb onto it. He fell on his hand. For about 45 minutes he was screaming so loud I was convinced it had to be broken. I got him to calm down with a sippy cup full of milk and Little Einsteins, or as he says, rocket. I grabbed his hands, moved his fingers around, and played with them while he watched the show, no crying.
We went off to playgroup. And he was terrible. Cried , clung to me, wouldn't eat. Even the other moms asked me what was wrong, one said "he is never like this." And they were right. He was being clingy and whiny, things Michael just isn't.
I put him down for a nap at noon. It's 2:30, and he has not slept for one minute. I took him out of his crib at 1, put him back down at 1:30, and just took him out again, at 2:30, to try again at 3:00 pm. If this kid does not take a nap I am going to lose my mind.
I'm only home 2 days a week, not counting the weekends. And I work 3 days a week. And lately, with troubles at work, I keep thinking I really want to stay home full time. Doug thinks I don't want to stay home full time, I'm just not happy at work.
Today, Doug is right. In fact, I want to work full time. Could his hand be broken, is that the issue? Is he sick? Teething? As someone in my playgroup said, sometimes they just have bad days. I wish his bad days were at daycare though, because this is miserable.
Please, please, please take a nap. I will give you a million dollars.
Today is one of those days

Awwwww, man. Days like that DO suck.
I hope he feels better soon but, you know, I feel him because some days all it takes is stubbing my toe in the morning and the mood is set to combative for the rest of the day.
Which either means your son is secretly a 33 yr old woman or I am as am progressed as a 2 yr old. Either way, I am nothing if not a joy, heh.
