My husband just texted me saying that A is being even more monster-like than usual. I feel so bad since I won't even be home for another 4+ hours. He said "Is every child like this? What are we doing wrong?"and I want to burst into tears. No, every child is not like A, I know this for a fact. I also know that she's just (hopefully) being a toddler whos canine is busting through, but that doesn't make this any easier

Our 5th anniversary was yesterday, which we celebrated by rearranging most of the furniture in the house. T is finally in his actual room and the guest room/office stuff is in its own room instead of my front room and I have my front room back! I'm very excited about this We also went out for a nice dinner and finished the evening by watching the UNC-Duke game in our new recliners. I'd say it was a good day! After all the shuffling though, it made me realize how much random junk I had stowed away in corners and now I want to throw everything out. So that's on my agenda for today.
rachydc, it's also very much possible that she's frustrated cause she doesn't have lots of words to express herself. You're doing nothing wrong. When either of my boys get like that, I always change the situation and/or introduce something new. Take her into a different room or show a new fun toy/item she's never seen before. Sometimes it's just throwing a sock into and out of the laundry hamper.

rachydc these MF-ing canines are the WORST. You have an amazing, high-energy and spirited child who has been taken over by forces beyond her control. You're not doing anything wrong, you're just stuck in survival mode with her.

A couple weeks ago we had our first dentist appointment for Juliette. The dentist said her 4 cupids (canines) looked ready to come in and said that "if kids have issues teething, it's usually with these." My response was "oh great. She was basically possessed for a month when she got her molars in, so this should be a real treat."
I feel you, girl. Yesterday she basically screamed and cried and clung to me all day. Teething is so hard, and if you already have a fiesty child on your hands it's MISERABLE

The language is definitely causing a bigger rift each day Instead of making goals based on what they've seen A do, EI asked us what we want from her. Is that normal? I mean, we want her to communicate more, duh. I wish they gave us more to go on/do/experiment with. I need to research some more on my own.
When I'm with her I'm more even keeled and am great at distracting, my husband doesnt think this way and gets totally flustered which doesnt help the situation. I didnt want to tell him this because I know he's already in the trenches and would get defensive. It's best that I just let him handle it his way.

I was supposed to be going to my niece's college gymnastics meet at UNH today, her college is coming up here. Yesterday my dad got a call that his brother in Boston isn't doing well and was transported from his nursing home to the hospital. The prognosis doesn't look good. We will be going down to the hospital instead. S is with MIL. My niece understood. I am planning a trip to VA in the summer and they will be coming up here in the summer as well.

6 bags of clothes to donate later, about 10 bags of stuff I decided to throw out, tons of totes filled with nick's old clothes (tears) packed away and my maternity clothes (no tears) I am DONE cleaning out the spare room. My back hurts and I feel old.
That is so scary, cornpop311!! Glad y'all are okay.
Hugs, rachydc. All of that energy and assertiveness will pay off one day, but I know there are frustrating days in the meantime!
rayann687, sorry your uncle is not doing well and that your plans had to be changed.
Good work, lotsoflotts, @wafflesfriendswork, and @katechristine18!!! So much I need to do around my house....so little motivation/time so I'm very jealous of your progress! I'm currently trapped under a sleeping J which never happens anymore so I'm being lazy and soaking up snuggles.
rachydc if it makes you feel any better, you aren't alone. Actual words out of my mouth about an hour ago - "this is why they used to spank little babies, Lil!"

My grandma asked to be sedated today (she's in palliative care) and my mom said now she's totally unconscious and no longer in pain. So I guess the end is near. I just can't imagine not having her around.
Caring for my grandma was a large part of my mom's life. I think it's going to be really hard on her. I'm so far away. I feel so powerless to help.
