Timeline of a Rotten Day

Ok, so I told myself that I wouldn't post unhappy thoughts but that does not apply today.

5:45 am: Wake up (late!); find that Nykile is in bed with me; find that he wet the bed (you know the morning after you just put clean sheet on)

6:00 am: Getting ready; trying to get Nykile out of bed and in the bath tub

6:05 am: Nykile is finally taking a bath

6:13 am: Nykile getting dressed and crying loudly because he is cold: UGH!! Trying to explain to him that if he would hurry and get dressed he would not be cold.

6:15 am: Nykile coating himself in lotion; He gets some on the shirt he's wearing; throws a fit because his shirt has "stains" on it: UGH AGAIN!! Refuses to wear any other shirt because that is the "ONLY SHIRT I LIKE" (Yes he was screaming); Takes stained shirt off and announces with arms crossed that he's not wearing a shirt.

6:17 am: In a raised voice I inform him that he is wearing a shirt and either he can go pick one or I will pick it for him

6:18 am: Child storms off to go find a shirt

6:19 am: Returns with Hard Rock shirt with this skull on it (Yes, I did buy this shirt in the Caymans but I didn't notice the big skull on it until he points it out to me when I give it to him) 3rd UGH for the morning!!; I tell him that is not an nice enough shirt to wear to school; The beginnings of yet another fit

6:20 am: Stomps off to get another shirt

6:21 am: I hear crying/whinning from his room; In complete frustration I go see what the problem is NOW; The drama was created because he could not get the shirt he wanted off the hanger; mind you he was not giving it his best effort; I get the shirt down and hurry to finish getting ready

6:25 am: The take your lunch/eat at school debate begins for both breakfast and lunch. I guess the child was feeling sorry for me because he decides to eat both at school; A silent cheer goes off in my head!

6:26 am: Begins the battle of what coat to wear; Really...it's cold pick one; Of course the one he wants is out in the car. I march my happy little bottom to the garage and get it for him; He freaks out when he puts it on because "it's too cold"; That's it...I've had it and it's only 6:30 in the morning. I do the ultimate worst mom ever thing and YELL at him. Looking back now it was a horriable thing to do. I should have been more adult in my delivery. But keep in mind from the time that he got up he has whinned, cried or thrown a fit about EVERYTHING.

6:30 am: On the way to school; Thank goodness the drop off was uneventful (Not like other mornings when he runs away, screams and kicks the teacher so on and so forth)

7 am - 5 pm: Work; this and that happens but basically it's just another day at the office

5:15 pm: Pick Nykile up; I see the bad mood written all over his face; Great I think to myself

5:16 pm: Discussions of dinner; He wants to go to Acamabro with my mom; Call mom and she can't go; Yet another melt down, crying fit! (I'm seeing a pattern here)

5:17 pm: I announce plans to go to Acamabro have been put on hold until he can act like a 5 year old should

5:20 pm: Get home; Tell him to do his homework while I cook dinner; His response, "I don't want anything to eat & I won't do my homework, I won't do what you say!"

5:21 pm: TIME OUT NOW!

6:30 pm: He finally has followed the time out rules for long enough he can get up. (yes he was there for over an hour but in that time he was screaming, not sitting in the chair, and the list goes on)

6:31 pm: Attempting the homework while whinning/crying that he doesn't know his ABC's and all the sudden he has lost the ability to write. Really?!?!?! That handy since you have no problem any other time. Talks about why his color in class changed to yellow were met with a very loud yelp. In Nykile language that is I'm not going to talk about it and if you keep bringing it up I'm going to get louder.

6:40 pm: Waiting on dinner with him crying in the background that he's starving and going to die if he doesn't eat right now. He's able to multi task because at the same time he's spilling his lemonade all over the counter, himself and the floor.

6:45 pm: Finally dinner is served along with his complaints on the chicken, not enough rolls, he's cold, the counter is sticky, and I believe he threw a few other things in there as well.

7:00 pm: Bath time (yea we are almost to bed); Now the rest of the day has not gone well so I'm not sure why I thought that the bath would. However, it was minor in comparison to the rest of the day.

7:15 pm: Call the fashion police!!! I didn't bring him pj bottoms that matched the t-shirt. Oh My Goodness!

7:15-7:30 pm: Wind down time with a movie.

7:30 pm: FINALLY BED TIME!!!! But not without a fit about wearing boots to school tomorrow. "Well, X (girl from school) wore them today so I know we can" Now the boots in question are some my mom pick up somewhere, snow boots with the fur and every thing AND are about 3 sizes too big.

7:35 pm: Peace and Quiet. I just don't know what to do with myself.


Don't get me wrong I LOVE NYKILE but man today I was not sure that bedtime could get here soon enough. Tomorrow is another day & it's going to be a GREAT day!
