Anyways....
Today was one of the roughest days I have had as a parent. At one point I considered walking out the door and never looking back. I just wanted her to stop screaming and whining for 10 minutes. Nothing I did made her happy. Even looking at her caused her to scream and throw herself to the floor. Toddlers are awful. Nothing satisfies her sometimes. She was an unholy terror from the time she woke up at 10 to the time her daddy got home at 6. That's 8 hours of non stop screaming and crying and whining. 8 hours is a stretch... I did get her to pass out for about an hour and a half. I wanted to get a few things done (like Christmas cards...) while she slept, but I was so exhausted from the day that I slept too.
On top of the possessed toddler I also spent my day vacuuming, spraying, and scrubbing in attempt to thwart the plague that has descended upon our home (fleas). I hate fleas. I think I have pretty much won the war at this point, but we will see what tomorrow brings.
I think today was the accumulation of a long and crazy week for Natalia. We spent Monday through Friday of last week with my parents in Seaside (an amazing trip) and then this weekend we celebrated my brother's 21st birthday. After such a crazy week I made the executive decision to stay at home today and just "relax" this morning. I don't know what part of being at home set Natalia off, but damn. It was too rainy (flooded streets, and unsafe walking paths) to go outside with her so she was stuck in the house all day. You would think I forced her to sit silently in the corner the way she responded to being inside with me.
Natalia has now joined me at the computer, so any random characters added to my post are courtesy of her... I suppose I will wrap this up since she has decided that my computer usage is an affront to her way of life.
