My 4 year old son Alister is driving me to the very edge of insanity tonight. He went through a real crazy patch recently (see previous blog about therapy session about his dad!) but after we had a big heart to heart he has been a dream again, as he used to be. But this afternoon about 4pm suddenly all the HUGE tantrums and throwing things and hitting and kicking and general evilness popped up again. and tonight he is just trying to push me to my limits by lying in bed not going to sleep but making stupid squeaking noises that after an hour and a half is like bloody Japanese water torture. or chinese. or whatever. It's flaming driving me NUTS!!! No idea why it started. one minute we were making cookies together, he left the kitchen and came back in as the devil! Barmy....
Have just been for a shower to drown him out and so it doesnt wind me up anymore cos i was going balistic at him due to extremely frayed nerves which i know only makes things worse. but a mum has to snap when a mum has to snap! We all have our breaking points. Am currently typing this with the Editors playing VERY loudly on my ipod so I can't hear him. Ignoring is the only way to shut it all up but if i hear one more flaming MEEP!!! or rendition of a song from High School Musical i will flip!!!!! actually the singing doesnt bother me, its just when its intertwined with the squeaks which he does to irritate me.
Who the hell invented 4 year old boys!!?????
Anyway, thats my rant over!
Had a really good swim today and bought a new pair of trousers in the Monsoon sale. they are a size 18. i usually buy a size 20 then once I've worn them for 10 mins they go all floppy and way too big. These ones are a bit too tight just now but hopefully a few weeks of eating well and exercise will see off the extra pounds and they will fit fine. Have decided they are the trousers I will guage my weight loss success on!
Right, better go and dry my hair before i look like Wurzel Gummidge. at least the hairdryer will drown out the squeaking. I know you are all laughing at it!!!! Turncoats!
Oh a wee word to Scott for if you get round to reading this - hi!
And for the rest of you, if you ever fancy a night of live rock music in the Yorkshire area then I'm sure you could do worse than these guys.... http://www.twistoffate.org.uk
In fact judging by the reviews you'd be hard pushed to find better! (Scott - still no pressure to sponsor me. ahem.....)
