Not a fun day ...

One of my favorite comic strips. I feel like Garfield on Monday today

   Some days are really meant to be spent in bed under covers, without ever leaving the bed. Welcome to my day today. First of all, Girly Monkey has been sick since Sunday and after last night Trick or Treating, she got REALLY sick. Guess who was up with her whole night? Yup, me! So today I was crabby because of lack of sleep, and she was extra cranky because of being sick. To say that she has been uncooperative is an understatement. Nothing brings out behavioral issues in kids like being sick, tired, or hungry. And throw in sugar overload into the mix too. She was all of these things, really sick, tired because of lack of sleep, hungry because she has no appetite, and on a sugar overload (since last night was Halloween and she devoured lots of her goodies).
   The wonderful thing about having more than one kid is that they tend to feed of each other's energy. Happiness is very contagious among kids, but so is crankiness. So, being true to child psychology textbooks, Little Monkey became more crabby as the day went by. By the end of the day I was ready to tear my hair out and scream, or should I say join all of them in screaming. Here is to hoping that tomorrow will bring either some sanity to everyone or more patience to me. Good night!
