Maybe it's PMS....
who knows. But today it feels like my kids have been the kids from you know where. It doesn't help that Hallie took a half hour nap, it doesn't help either of us. She's been grouchy, whiney, snotty, back talking, etc all morning and I couldn't wait for nap time to come so I could finally take a shower and cozy up in my bed with my book for 2 hours. I got the shower, and about 5 minutes with my book before she staggered in to my room sleepy eyed wanting more water. Then that was it. I sent her back to bed, and she was back in 5 minutes for something else. I turned on a movie in her room for her (the movie that SHE requested) and she was back in 5 minutes again telling me that it was too scary. We changed the movie, then she was back in 5 minutes more telling me Chase was awake. Nevermind the fact that she went into his bedroom and WOKE HIM UP!!! So she sat in time out for 5 minutes. Then she continue over and over and over again to find some new way to torture/hurt Chase. She takes away his toys, knocks him over, slams his fingers in the door when he's trying to get into my room. Then that was it for me, she went back to time out for 10 minutes (until I wasn't fuming mad anymore). When I go to get her out of time out she sitting there with a smile on her face, totally unfased by her extra long time out. She actually kind of looked like she enjoyed it! I am probably overreacting due to being a hormonal crazy person today, but I want to go lay in my bed and cry right now. Or sleep for a REALLY long time. Then wake up to well behaved little angels who always listen to me and don't ask me "why" over and over and over again. *sigh*

I'm sorry! My kids had one of those a days a little while ago and it made me crazy! Why don't moms get vacation or sick days? Good luck!
i am so glad i am not the only one with days like this! reading your blog makes me feel normal! all i can say is "dont have 3 kids!" EVER!
Sara, that mirrors the day I have had to a tee. I can feel your frustration perfectly. And they just don't seem to get it, do they. The fact that Hallie was smiling at you after her time out makes me laugh because that's exactly what Brook does on the days she's being the most naughty. It's like she's completely unphased and everything goes in one ear and out the other. Good thing there are some really great days inbetween.
Sara, there is a saying that I have found to have lots of truth in.
"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got".
Mix up the punishments and consequences for misbehavior by the kids. Keep them from having control by not doing the same punishment aways. It may work and it may noy but.... I refer you back to my saying.
i
i feel this way everyday! these poor little biys who are tortured and woken up by their snotty sisters! seriously what are we to do? i really have cried alot latley from trying to parent kaia. so not fun. i totally feel your pain. "just keep swimming" life is totally a test of our patience dealing with these small children, if we can only get through these next 10 years or so, they will eventually take care of themselves and we can live life with our husbands again!!! ha! think about the bliss!
I feel like you do at least one full day each week. Having a 2 year old, especially a girl, is really trying. I keep reminding myself that her independence is going to be so good for her one day. And that she will come back to being her sweet-self in about a year. They really do get through it soon... I promise. 4 has been awesome!!!!
hah hah aa hah! i'm sorry! so funny though! i'm waiting for it to be my turn. :)
Oh, it really is nice to hear that we all have these horrible days and it is not only my kids that can seriously be so bad some days!! (And not phase them either!) I hope today is being a better one.
