Full Moon

[MrsRogers]

Oh my gracious, I haven't been outside at night recently, but there MUST be a full moon.  Juliana is being a wild child.  The first time I ever heard my mother-in-law talk about there being a full moon (she is a school teacher) I thought she had lost her marbles.  But no....the longer I've been around Juliana the more I've come to believe that there really must be something in the air (ha! or not in the air) when there is a full moon. 

I had an absolute break down today, Juliana's been in time-out more times that I care to remember and I just want to scream (and cry and...)  If it weren't for my new found friend Sarah, who actually admitted to me that being a stay at home mom was not the most glorious thing she has ever done (praise the Lord, someone like me)  I would have probably been admitted by now.

All of that aside, I have felt really sorry for Juliana the past few days.  She's been teething (a particularly bad round) and she's been suffering with allergies ever since the ragweed started to bloom.  But I've decided at some point (after teething rings, popcicles, orajel, tylenol, humidifiers, and claritin) you don't have to stop feeling sorry for them but you've got to stop putting up with the whining and the general crankiness.  I feel so cruel and I know Juliana thinks I"m cruel for getting onto her every five seconds but I'm tired of being pushed around and slapped and kicked ALL DAY LONG. 

Kudos to all my "Three Martini" friends who have already done so, but this mom is taking a stand against the kid! ha!  I feel like a kid myself by saying this, but dadgum it I was here first!
