I'm having one of those days where I want to just lock myself in the bathroom...or go back to bed and stay there...or go out for a very loooooooong walk (yes even in the snow and cold)
This is a venting post - I need to put my frustration somewhere, and my hubby is at work so I can't talk to him.
I run a home day care and normally my days are pretty good. There are a few moments that are challenging, but that's to be expected. But today takes the cake.
Boo is on one of his rampages and feels the need to be naughty and pull everything off the shelves, or empty the pantry and pull out all the pots and pans, or fight constantly with his sister.
Pumpkin is having a bad day too and feels the need to argue over EVERYTHING. she's spent a lot of time in time out today.
That alone is enough to try my patience (which happens to be particularly thin today) I'm NOT having a good day displaying the fruits of the spirit. I'm not being very gentle in my speech and I've lost my temper once or twice.
The 2 year old I look after has literally been crying since they were dropped off at 8:30 this morning. And not just sulking or sniffling...I mean full out crying her eyes out....to the point where she puked she was crying so hard. she will cry until after her nap and is only happy the last hour or so of the day. The problem is that I can't do anything to get her to stop. I've tried every trick in the book short of bribing her to stop (which I will not do) as soon as I stop making her the center of my attention she is back at the crying at the top of her lungs.
I pray that a nap will improve her and that I can regain my focus.
