WHAT A DAY!

Have you ever had one of those days where your kids are so dang cute and everything they do and say has totally made up for the naughty days?????
I WISH today was one of those days!!!!!!!!!!! I have been asking myself all day long "Do I really want any more kids?", "NO WAY!" Definitely NOT with the day that I have had! It seems that I'm always saying "Get OUT of the fish tank Michael!" "Put DOWN the knife Michael!" "DON'T drink that Michael, it's POISEN!" "Please don't push your brother down those TWO FLIGHTS of stairs!" "Did YOU just HIT me?!" All in the meantime having a 1 year old terror who wants you to HOLD him all day long or he will make this high pitch scream that you would never think could come out of a little 2' man.
We are on our way to D.I. to get some little things for the house, the boys were actually doing fine for the moment in the car watching "Aladdin" I parked the car and got David out then went to the other side to get Michael out, he turns burrows his eyebrows grinds his teeth makes a fist and growls yelling at the top of his lungs while hitting me "NO! NO! Grrrrrr!" I thought What the snot? "You WILL NOT HIT your mother Michael!" I grabbed him while he was punching me and took him out of the car, so here is Michael having this HUGE breakdown in the middle of the parking lot. I grabbed his ear and pulled him all the way to the store. With many people watching I shoved the screaming Michael in the front part of the cart where David usually goes and put David in the basket, "Oh BOY this is going to be so FUN!" Long story short the boys both threw a hug fit the whole time, so I tried to look as fast as I could. Side note, David is getting THREE back molars right now so he is extra naughty and sore :( I feel bad for the little guy....but can I get a break anyway?
We get into line and they are both wailing, I'm just ignoring them like there not even making a sound. People are literally moving out of line to get away from this ruckus! Michael keeps hitting David, David keeps pinching his fingers in the cart while screaming louder and louder, I've had it!
I decide to quickly run to the "Health Food Store" to get David some Licorice root stick to chew on (it helps with teething babies, they look like sticks from a tree but it's natural licorice) and some teething gel. I put them back in another cart, Michael was doing well for the moment (probably because I threatened him) but David? That's another story, I put him in the seat part of the basket and the buckle wasn't working so I didn't buckle him. I got the licorice sticks and gave one to each of the boys then I put the bag in the seat next to David. David picked it up and Michael decided to rip it out of his hands, David started SCREAMING and I just ignored him bending down to look at the teething gel. I know everyone in the store was staring I could feel it ;) Then I hear this "OH OH OHHHH!" coming from like 4 different people, in a split second I realized "David!" While I'm thinking that he falls out of the basket hitting his head on the ground! I hurry and grabbed him looking to see if there was any blood. There wasn't any visible, so I just sat him on my knee and continued looking for the teething gel. I was asked by all these people "Is he okay?" I would say "He's Fine" I wanted to say " I DON'T CARE!"and I meant it I didn't even care that he fell out of that cart! That's how frustrated I am with those boys today! What can I say? My nerves are SHOT! On the way home I just kept saying "We are all going to BED!" Michael kept saying in response " Michael...Happy?!"
They are now sleeping and I am writing this post...go figure.... I will be taking a nap after though :) because obviously I NEED it!
Needless to say I wish it was "One of those days" and my nerves were "All Good"

Yes, I have those days where I ask that same question. Good thing they don't happen too often and you have the days that make up for it often enough to change your mind.

U r a brave woman. Once Nick threw a fit at Home Depot when he was 3 and that was it. I stopped everything pushed the cart out to the car put him in there and drove straight home. Then he spent the rest of the afternoon in time out (which led to a nap). Oh, the joys of being a mommy!

man what a day you had! My son threw a HUGE fit at GNC. I got so mad cause the baby had just gone to sleep and he was freaking out. Woke her up and she was screaming too! He is 8. I was waiting for him to throw himself on the ground and start kicking and screaming. The store is so small I swear everyone was praying that the woman with the screaming kids leave FAST! We all came home and did take a nap and when we woke up we were better.
