Oh, my Hell!

Yesterday, the love on the internets was amazing...last I heard, over $20,000 was donated to the March of Dimes in little Maddie's name. That is just amazing. So much love...

Just thinking about what those poor parents are going through breaks my heart. I hope they can find a little peace in all of the love and hope sent their way. That little girl's beautiful smile has been seen and enjoyed by so many people. It might ease their hearts a little to hear how many lives she has touched...

I gave my boy lots of extra love yesterday.

It was not an easy thing to do.

Please don't misunderstand. I love my boy - I do, I do, I really, really do. But, I think I must have brought the wrong boy home from school.

I do not know who this child is.

My son is sweet and loving. He likes to cuddle and tell me stories, sing me songs...he helps me in the kitchen and plays with the dog.

Yesterday this child bit a little boy at school. Today, he bit one of his teaching aides.

He is not listening, not getting dressed, not going to bed, not eating, not getting in the car, not getting out of the car, throwing things, kicking, calling names, screaming, yelling, yodeling at the top of his lungs and threatening to run away from "this mean family".

I took away the computer and the tv and the planned cookie making. And now, apparently -I'm the devil.

He's totally pissed at me. And I told his dad and Daddy was MAD. Bad Mommy...

Is there some sort of hormone surge at five that no one told me about?

It is so hard not to take it personally. I know I shouldn't...but damn it's hard.

I really want to beat him (ok, maybe not beat so much as maybe duct tape him to the wall)

And evidently the dentist sharpened his teeth, so the biting is way good...

My hubby insists that there is "something" causing these issues and we need to find out what it is. I just don't know...maybe an exorcism?
