Has anyone else noticed that my 2-year old is insane? Her mood swings are wicked, and she completely defines the notion of "wearing your heart on your sleeve." I know, I know, this is totally typical behavior. In all honestly, I am kind of jealous.
When someone is mean to me, or I don't get what I want (when I want it), I don't get to scream, cry and throw a plastic cup at someones head. Instead, I must remain calm and act like the grown up I supposedly am. I have to keep my feelings bottled up inside for the sake of office politics, or keep my mouth shut to avoid an awkward moment, or not say exactly how I feel so I don't make someone uncomfortable.
E on the other hand, can scream "NO!" when someone tells her something she doesn't like. She can chuck her sippy cup at my head if I tell her it is nap time. She can throw herself on the floor and cry. She can cry until she gets it all out. How sweet that must be.
Oh well...upon further reflection I think I might have her beat. I may not be able to scream in someones face, but at least I can drink wine.
So, I guess I will just have to hold on to the fantasy of whacking "she who shall remain nameless" upside the head with my drink. That might make me feel better, but then again, I wouldn't want to waste my wine.
I like this and your yoga post! You are quite an entertaining writer. You could always borrow the sippy cup and chuck that while I hand feed you your wine since my chosen spot on the couch is next to the end table. Avery is also for hire for another option. She has been known to slap a few people across the face...
