DOES ANYONE HAVE A WIG????

CUZ I'M ABOUT TO PULL MY HAIR OUT!!!!!!



Well that last couple of days have been "one of those days" when I'm about to lose it! I don't know what Brynlee's deal is, but she has been pretty naughty! She is usually really a pretty good two year old who is nice to her sister, polite to Dave and I, and very helpful....but then there is another side of her that tests me to my limits! Whenever I ask her to do anything she says "NO" and it is a fight to bathe her, a fight to get her dressed and do her hair, a fight to eat....ETC!! Where does this come from, and who took my nice girl???

So yesterday I had great plans to go to the gym in the morning. A lot of times we go between 10 and 11 where Brynlee goes to the kids club, and Halle sleeps in her stroller while I work out. Most days it works out well! They are really great there and let me bring my stoller in with Halle, and we either walk around the little track they have, or if she is sleeping I park her next to the machine that I am working at. Only in Utah, right! :) This will only happen until she is old enough to go to the kids club at 6 months. Anyway.....so this was my plan yesterday and I was trying to get us all ready to go, and Brynlee has a total meltdown. She was in the tub and was refusing to let me wash her hair and bum. So I was being just as stubborn and told her she didn't have to wash her hair, but she needed to wash her body. She sat in there crying, kicking and screaming for about the next 30 minutes because she wanted to get out, but I wouldn't let her until we had washed her. The kid doesn't give up! By the end of this whole saga I was completely worn out and ready to rip her head off and I knew we weren't going to make it to the gym. I was ready to go, but by then it was about 20 minutes from when Halle needed to eat again so SCRATCH that idea! AHHHH!

Then today I decided to take Brynlee to the library for reading time. They do one at 10:00 and at 11:00, so my first goal was to get there by 10:00. Well, we had another meltdown after bathtime and she wouldn't get dressed for me, so I let her go and watch Barney and decided we would go to the 11:00 reading. She was doing better and we got there on time, but the sweetness didn't last long. She wouldn't sit and listen, then someone sat where she wanted to sit and that made her cry. She wouldn't hold still and barely looked at the book! I seriously wonder sometimes if she has A.D.D. because she has about ZERO attention span most of the time. I think some of this is my fault because I don't read to her enough, but seriously it was my last straw!!!

So what did I do....I made Dave meet us for lunch to keep track of her and I had myself a fat Cafe Rio salad and a Dr. Pepper!! It's no wonder I'm fat!!! I feel a little better though, and hope that after her nap she will be a little better!
