I hate this day so hard.
My kid has channeled the spirit of an awful, naughty, possibly demonic child. I'm about to put him in a dog costume and take him to the pound, because he's seriously acting like a dog with rabies.
We went to chick fil a to meet up with a lady who runs a lost and found pets page here... she was doing it on her own, but needs help now, so I volunteered to help her with it. P was FINE with the other kids, played great as usual, but was a terror if I so much as said a word to him. I tried to hand him his drink and he shoved it back at me, knocking it to the ground.
Also, watched a dog get hit on the freeway and sobbed hysterically the rest of my drive. On my way home, I sobbed more when I saw his blood in the road. I can't handle seeing animals get hit. I mean, I know no one loves it, but it really effs with me.
Oh, and also.. that lady I met up with? Her day, week, and month has sucked a million times worse than me, and she's handling it like a champ. Clearly I'm just not cut out for... like, being a living, breathing person who has a life. I get too worked up over everything lately. I really think I might need some meds. *nervous laugh*
Re: I hate this day so hard.
You need to take a minute, look at your fabulous family photos and think about how not every day is like today. And you've got a rad little family.
And then find yourself some booze.
Thank you. You're so right. At least I hope not every day will be like today... a large part of me fears that this behavior from my kid may be the start of a new phase with him and if it is... let us pray it's a VERY SHORT one.
I freak out when I see a dog near the road, let alone being hit. That is pretty traumatic and I'm sorry that happened to you.
The kid thing? I've got nothing. From what I understand, everything is a phase. So there's that.
I prescribe alcohol.
Blame the moon, then drink.
It will get better!!
