The terrible twos are starting, and I have no patience or sanity left to deal with it. Consciously, I know he's just being a toddler with little control over his emotions (and actions), but subconsciously, I'm wondering what the hell happened to the little baby that was so well-behaved and I always got compliments for.
This morning, he had a breakdown for no reason. Whatever I had, he wanted- my juice, the blanket I was using, my hair- and tried to take them from me. The blanket I gave up. I got him a sippy cup of juice which he rejected (sigh). And I yelled at him for pulling out my hair and leaving a little bald spot. He cried. He cried when he wanted something, and when he didn't want something, and when I yelled at him. I'm so tired this morning that I tried to take a quick nap during Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but I was slapped in the face.... guess who.
But the thing that sent me over the edge was knocking over Hubby's favorite and only Miami University mug and breaking it while I was getting the sippy cup of juice. I should have put it in the dishwasher when I was done with it, then it wouldn't have been out to tip over. I was so at the end of my rope that I started crying. Over a mug!! It was stupid, I know. I ordered two more online to replace it, and I know Hubby won't be too upset or anything, but being huge and hormonal and dealing with an inconsolable toddler, I just can't take the stress of anything, apparently.
It's a good thing the end of the deployment is near. I'm losing it.

You could squirt with him a squirt bottle when he acts up. That's what I do to my kitties when they are acting up ;) J/K!
