It’s been a long week. I’ve had a headache since Tuesday, which upgraded to a migraine yesterday, which has now downgraded again to a dull yet persistent ache. Joe has been suffering with a kidney stone since last weekend, so between the two of us, we are just about equal to one able-bodied parent.
Andrew of course picked this week to be Oh So Very Almost-Three, and he is absolutely killing me. Everything is a battle with him lately, including but not limited to: dropping him off at daycare, picking him up from daycare (I had to literally drag him out of the building both Monday and Tuesday while simultaneously carrying Will and the diaper bag and all of their other stuff), eating dinner, getting dressed, getting undressed, using the potty (spoiler alert: he’s not), sharing, taking a bath, going to bed, etc. etc. etc. It’s ridiculous. It’s also very normal behavior for his age, and of course there’s lots of wonderfulness mixed in with the defiance, but still. If he makes his horrible screeching noise at me one more time this week, I may need to escape to my room and throw things for a few minutes or hours.
We also woke up this morning to a layer of snow on the ground, because OF COURSE WE DID. This is the Midwest, and winter here is never-ending. Also, I use the phrase woke up loosely, because due to nightmares (Andrew), a headache (me), kidney stones (Joe), and random 2 AM cheerfullness (Will), none of us really slept last night at all.
But on the bright side, at least today I can blink my eyes without it hurting. I can’t say the same about yesterday. Baby steps, I guess.

I'm sorry Cassie. I can so relate to the going to your room and throwing stuff. I go to mine and cry. It's amazing how much better it makes you feel. Hope you and Joe get to feeling better and here's hoping Andrew cuts you some slack...lol.
oh man hope you all get better.
we hit the I just turned four cater the world for me! its not fun.
this weather is INSANE i want warm air now, i hate that its cold again after the teaser it gave us
we went to the doctor yesterday and found out e might be having tiny seizures, i will write about it down the road but i totally feel you and hope you have a much better week!
Ugh. What a week full of suck.
I hope you and Joe are feeling better by the weekend. Because weekends make everything better and DEFINITELY are not times that you get tired of your child that is fighting your every move and leaving you wishing for Monday and DAYCARE. Or at least that never happens in my house.
I suppose at least you had random happiness to keep you company overnight...better than random sadness or random moaning at 4:45 a.m. every single morning for weeks on end...not that I would know. :)
Ha I actually have thrown things while alone in my room this week. Nothing unbreakable, because then I would have to spend money to replace it. It was unsatisfying.
Also, glad my son is not the only one uninterested in the potty. You'd think, having my kids 3 1/2 years apart, that I wouldn't have two in diapers. But it's starting to look like that. And I'm beginning to not care. Ace is in such a cute, loving phase that I've just been soaking it up.
Miss E however, is NOT in a cute loving phase. She has been playing really well with Ace (for the most part) but has been SO SASSY that sometimes I want to send her to her room for life. Ugh.
Hope next week goes better!
(For both of us.)
This sounds like a terrible week. And I think it breaks some kind of rules of weather that it snowed in Ohio and California at the same time!
I hope you enjoy your weekend at least! Just one more day!
Hang in there! It will get easier one of these days. But have to say, my kids were way worse at 3 than they were at 2
Colton has been waking up with nightmares lightly too. Is that normal for this age? It's a pain in the butt!!
YIKES!! I hope you ALL are feeling better soon.
Those pancakes over there are making me want to eat again and I've already had my healthy low calorie no fat breakfast haha ..
