I'm exhausted... today has been the worst day ever in two year old world--and it's only 4 PM!
I have realized how much I just don't know...
....I don't know how it happens that once a child turns 2, something (whether genetically or hormonally, again I don't know) changes to make them angels one moment and monsters the next.
....I don't know why my child can devour at any moments Macaroni and Cheese or Spaghetti (he absolutely loves them both), but can choose to refuse it, even though he hasn't eaten in 4 hours and I know is hungry.
...I don't know why he when given the choice to listen to mom or dad, he chooses the time-out chair and cries/ screams the whole time he's there.
...I don't know why he gets really frustrated by something (well I do know a little, it's my genetics) will ask for help and then scream when I try to help him.
...I don't know why he can drive me crazy, and get me crying just has much as he does in an afternoon, but I still love him; and would do anything for him.
...and finally I don't know, after days like today, how I'm going to be able to be a mom of 2 (um, too late!). Lately, I've felt like June couldn't be more far away--today June, stay away! (oh, except the sunshine, it can still come)
Sorry, I promise my next post will not be so "Wo is me"!

Ohhhhh motherhood! Isn't it the hardest thing in the world??? I'm sorry you are having a hard day. It helps me when people like you vent about the hard days they have. It makes me realize that I am not the only one that has those days. Your little girl is going to be so cute & I think you will be great with her. You have such a cute family... so cute that I bet Andrew would be more than willing to give you a little break while he takes care of Jack.
We need a girl's night out!!!! We need to leave our 2 year olds with their daddies and just go do something fun.
Plan? Plan.
P.S. my 2 year old acts like that too.
I'm so sorry Chels. Hopefully tomorrow he will be an angel to make up for your hard day today. It always seems to work that way!
Chels..
You are beautiful and I don't mean to say I am happy you are going through hard things with your adorable little son, but I am relieved. I always have looked to you as such a "perfect" mom. I always thought, "How does she do it? How can I ever be a mom like her?" I still think that. But it's nice to know even you struggle. love you. :)
it's amazing how those itty bitty two year olds can make you completely CRAZY!!! good thing they are so stinking cute because if they weren't well...it would be hard to be so patient (not that i am very patient). oh chelsea we have all been there- and sometimes i feel like i am "there" all too often! you will be a brilliant mommy of two- it's double the crazy but double the fun too!! miss you xoxo!!
We don't mind "wo is me days," posts. It helps us to know we are not alone in the challenges of Motherhood. You are doing awesome though. Jack and the new baby are lucky to have you. And they will keep you on your toes I am sure. After all, they are teaching us right?
Hang in there Chels, you're one of the best mothers I've ever seen!
