Every day I'm moving along, doing my mommy thing (which ALWAYS comes first) while desperately trying to get in some Maria time! I still don't have all the pages up on my little site here.
Most of today has been consumed by Anthony. We had to go to school today for some additional testing for his kindergarten placement.
This afternoon he had a major melt down over not being able to get the rest of his tracks out of his bedroom because his brother was sleeping. After what felt like hours I got him to calm down enough to take a nap.
Meanwhile I am feeling like a failure when I can't deal with his moods. I threw his track out the window after he punched me. I kept thinking he was lucky it wasn't 1973 because he would have been beating black and blue for hitting his mother. I really don't know how I don't snap with the issues of both these kids.
When he woke up he sat on the sideboard looking out the window. After a while he went outside to get the track I threw and asked me to help him find all the other tracks. However we do not have these tracks he is looking for. They were part of a hand-me-down toy and over the years the pieces were broke or lost.
I carried all his toy boxes out of his room. They are now lined up in the dining room so he can search for whatever he wants. I'm also hoping this helps me throw out broken toys!!
Dinner is done, so I hope tonight will be smooth sailing from here on out.
Maria, who's sick of being JUST A MOM!
