[Graleyne]

My 4 year old is on my very last nerve. It just feels like she is finding and pushing every single button I have today. She has done nothing but throw tantrum after tantrum since she walked through the door.

She didn't have rest time at school today and boy am I paying the price for it.

I had to wash her special "blankie" - she had a meltdown. Put her in her room, she screams louder, put her in time out she screams even louder. Tried to get her occupied with crayons and paper - she threw them. That meant back to time out and more screaming. She took her socks today, well its cold so I told her to put them back on. She had a fit because she couldn't do it by herself. I put them back on her, she walked right into her bedroom and took them off. Back to time out - even more screaming.

Everything makes her mad. She is throwing a fit because she doesn't want what I made for dinner. She threw a fit because my son looked at her. She threw a fit because I said no dinner - no candy. She threw a bigger fit when I told her she couldn't go to her Granny's house.

She is taking a bath now and I am about to put her little butt to bed. I don't care if it is only 7:30.

I understand she is having a bad day, but I am just tired and sick and can't deal with it today.
