Dear Lord,
Give me the strength to make it through today. It is proving to be a very difficult and trying day for both me and Maggie. She is going through her terrible two's and also she gets really bored with me, seeing that I am not the greatest playmate. I am never sure what to do with her and she is my constant shadow throughout the entire day. As I sit here typing this she is right behind me whining at me because she has yet again, failed to get her way. I had to get away, even if it has just been for a mere minute. I need a mommy time out and unfortunately she is unwilling to give it to me. There are times that I envy mothers that work full time and come home and only have to deal with anything for 2 to 3 hours then the kids are off to bed. I miss the working world, especially the financial stability that we once had. Ah well, as the counselor at school said..you chose to have a child. But I know the truth, Maggie was sent to us. We were told that having children would be difficult and of course I had moved on with my life and as soon as I did...bam!! Pregnant. Ah, such is life. This ends today's session as I am being beckoned by my overbearing and very demanding boss.
I can remember times that I loved staying at home with my 2 year olds and times that I felt exactly like you. It does seem like they hit a hump when they turn 4ish, and life becomes easier, they're more obedient and easier to relate to (for those of us who weren't natural "kid people" before we had our own )
