Bad Day

Everyday is an adventure when you are a parent. Sometimes you look at your kids and you have so much love for them you can physically feel it, other times not so much. Yesterday was one of those not so much days. Let me start off by saying that Ryan is usually a great kid: helpful, super sweet, and all around wonderful. Yesterday he was none of those things. He was tired from refusing to sleep in the big boy bed. He threw things, he screamed, he was angry, he would try and wake up the baby when he saw her fall asleep, he did everything he knew makes me angry. The final straw was when he grabbed my library book and threw it in a sink full of water. Yeah he did that. When Don got home I had to physically leave the house so calm myself down.
I'm hoping it was just a fluke of a day and that he can pull it together. Man, you realize how good you have it when you are faced with a really terrible day.
