not this cute anymore!
oh boy. it's been a long week. last night I cried myself to sleep. I felt like the day was never going to end and when it finally did, I just lost it. Do you think babies can develop COLIC at a year old? I used to have a happy, cuddly little thing and all he does lately is cry, scream, pull hair and hit. He's a bully-baby.
Sometimes I wonder who promoted me to this "motherhood" job when I feel so under-qualified. I am not prepared to take care of four human beings 24 hours a day, everyday. Thankfully there is a "no-return" policy on children because yesterday I might have loaded up the wagon and given them all back.
Whenever I have a terrible, horrible no-good day, I always feel better knowing there's a weekend coming up. This time I am fortunate it's already here. I am so thankful for Fridays.

I think in Nebraska the safe-haven law applies to anyone under 18...at least it used to.
I am sorry you had a hard day. I have have a few of those lately. It is hard being the mom. But it is also great as you well know. Hang in there and enjoy the weekend. We need to get together soon. I am not feeling 100% yet but when will that ever happen again? Then we will get together!!
Janet, I totally feel you. Kamryn was such a mellow baby and a little after 1 years old, she became a moody, naughty little girl. Love her to pieces, but she hits, pinches, screams. All the good stuff. I was thinking the same thing. What happened to my little baby? I hope it gets better for you. Maybe they are going through the terrible two's early. Good luck!
I. Hear. You. Those are the days that I stay up too late watching tv and dread going to bed because I know the day will replay through my head and I will remember all the moments I lost it. Ugh. I hope that you are renewed by this weekend.
This post echos how I've been feeling lately too! My baby girl just turned 1 and she has been acting up like crazy. But she is getting a new tooth and weaning, so I'm telling myself that in two weeks my dream baby will be back. I hope. And good luck.
As Alexander's mom says in the book about his bad day, "Some days are like that. Even in Australia."
I hope today is much better! I'm so glad that only some days are like that. Have a great weekend!
Check the teeth! Camille turned into a different child all last week. This week I realize she has her top two molars.
On days like that, sometimes all I can do to keep from totally losing it is repeating "This too shall pass, this too shall pass" and being really, really, really selective about the battles I fight (internally as well). And even then, sometimes I feel like crying myself to sleep. I feel for you. Hope this week brings some better days.
