I determined, yesterday morning, that I would be more positive. Things went a bit downhill from there, basically because of Harry's appalling mood which I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to deal with.
He had woken multiple times the night before and was tired and grouchy, fighting me on everything. He has an aversion to getting dressed too so by the time I attempted to get him into his clothes he just went ballistic and started kicking and punching me and screaming - including a good blow to the stomach. I totally lost it and smacked his bum (bad me) and took him to his bedroom and shut the door. I left, cried, went back 5 mins later feeling like a heel and found him fast asleep in bed. Of course then I felt even worse!
He woke 2 hours later and his mood wasn't much improved. We had another fight over putting shoes on, over going to the potty, over food, over drink, you name it. All in all it was a bloody hard day!!
Hoping today will improve - lol. Got a hospital appointment at noon, a 'pre-op' appointment, whatever that means. Then taking the monsters to the park later where hopefully they'll expend some energy.....although lately my experience usually entails taking Harry to the loo 1500 times where he refuses to wee, and then having to lift him (heavy) into the swing and push him for 2 hours or he goes mad, and I come home absolutely dead on my feet.
