Peaks and Valleys

I probably had the absolutely worst day as a mother to date. I don't want to talk about it. It did not involve any physical abuse, so don't worry about that.

I just had to write it down so I remember.

For the record, five years old has been the hardest age for me to date. Well, at least until adolescence. A friend of mine told me that her pediatrician told her that 5 yrs old was similar to adolescence.

If so, I am in for trouble and am going to enjoy age 6-12 for as long as possible.

We were having a great day - he had school and then we went to an awesome playdate at a school mate's home where he had this huge blowup water slide with a climbing wall and everything. We had so much fun.

And then from 4:30pm on - I had the worst day as a mother.

DONE.
