Hoping for Illness

I always know it has been a bad day when at some point during the day I actually HOPE that the child (or children) who is seemingly possessed by a demon without listening skills or common decency is sick. My thinking is always that if he is getting sick, there is some amount of explanation for the outrageous behavior we are all enduring. Such was the case with Blake today. Just an all around rough day. Whining, talking back, not eating, going after Colin, flipping out after minor bumps & bruises, etc. etc. etc...

So, let's just say I'm really hoping there is a high fever or vomit in our near future. Clearly, I'm the sick one.

We totally understand what you mean. If Erik is cranky I'd rather think he's going through a couple days of a cold or teething than a month long new developmental stage. Glad you're blogging!
