Beautiful Day, NO?

It's probably about 80 degrees, at the most, right now. I can hear a few locusts, the sun is out and there's a light breeze. How nice; How picturesque. This is the kind of day that typically puts me in the best of moods.

I am all out of regular coffee. I've tried to supplement the lack of regular coffee with caffeinated tea -- caffeine, duh -- and decaf coffee --to trick myself with taste (no ... not at the same time, yuck!). It's only worked a little. My head is bothering me. I'm tired and ready to implode. The internet isn't working. (I'm typing this on notepad and hoping to upload it later.) AND, my son refused to sleep at nap time. I made him, "try" for 3 hours. 3 hours of yelling, cajoling, taking dolls away, removing books, threatening, and finally capitulation. He won. What am I supposed to do!?!? --Make him stay in naptime until bedtime!? I hate that he won, though ... Both kids are tired. Since letting them out of naptime, I've taken away a hobby horse, a pillowcase, a (very tiny) bat, and I don't know what else, all because they were implements of destruction and hitting. I've issued simultaneous time-outs and listened to multiple complaints and been hounded like crazy about doing a craft. They've only been out of naptime for an hour.

What a beautiful day I am having.

I just changed another poopy diaper (that kid is a machine, the last two days), and gave in to the powers of tv. Dora is my best friend, right now, as I am no longer in danger of implosion.

This is all just the tip of the iceberg...There are other, bigger things happening in our family. Some good, much not so good. None that I feel free to discuss, though. I wish I did. I wish I could. I think it would help me to just "get it all out." I only mention it so that you get an idea of my current state of mind. Somehow I don't think "aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhrgh!" quite covers it. I want a do-over, starting at about Friday evening. If anyone can make that happen for me, please don't hesitate. You have my gratitude.

Do you ever have a day like this?

Food: cantaloup. I cut a small cantaloup in half, and use my trust [pampered chef] scooper to hollow it out. It's quick, it's easy, the kids like-y. Good snack.
