Moms, Do you ever just want to unload?

Have you ever just had a really bad day? Of course we can say yes to that .......but I mean a day that you just want to curl up into a ball and wish you were a little mouse chewing on a piece of cheese in the corner (okay so maybe a snickers bar - he he)? So yes, that was ME today! I just felt over-whelemd, over run, and over powered and by whom? yes, my 3 year-old! Ouch! That hurts just to write this! Today, goes down in the official Pokrandt memory book as the WORST day in motherhood, parenting, discpline, you name it ............it was AWFUL and I can honestly say my son has never acted like this before and what made it worse was it was in PUBLIC of all places. It honestly seemed like he was growing "horns" right in front of me and the others watching. I just felt so ashamed and embarassed as a mother. I guess I should of titled this post, "Can mom's vent?" becuase that's what I feel like I am doing - but 'venting' is good therapy, right? Gosh it sure feels like it!!! All becuase I "stood my ground" and did not buy Landon a toy or two at the store, he then went into the most outrageous and don't fogort PUBLIC temper tantrum inside AND outside of the store to the point where I had to literally drag my 3 year-old to the car because he would not walk. Whew, that is alot of work for a pregnant mom with bags in her hands and a 42 lb 3-year old who would not walk. Yikes! I am venting to actually calm myself before my doctor appt tomorrow to assure that my blood pressure is not on the rise because of this .........I am being serious! Anyway, I am not going to get into all the details because I will be here all night, but I am just hoping and fervently praying that TOMORROW is a new day and that my little boy will be back to "NORMAL." Lord, right now PLEASE give me the strength to make "all things possible."

I am having one of these days today! ARGH!!! The boys really didn't make a scene anywhere, but they have been directly disobedient and have had several meltdowns!!!! Thankfully, they are napping now, and I pray that they will wake up and have a better day.
