Lately I have been pretty open about my frustrations regarding Cade entering the "horrible threes" stage and have found myself out of patience and energy at the end of the day for the last several days.
He's had a bad cough for the last week and wasn't sleeping well because of it so I decided to take him in to the doctor. Turns out whatever illness he had, it went to his chest AND he has an ear infection. Poor guy. Who knows how long he's had it--- this can all well explain why he's been irritable and whiny.
After the appointment we went on a hunt to find a nebulizer for rent (i swear buying one would have really been easier). We finally found a pharmacy that wasn't out of them and poor Cade was coughing so much he threw up right there on me and the shopping cart. I just wanted to burst into tears. I was tired, frustrated that my day wasn't going the way I wanted, and poor Cade was feeling miserable. I swallowed the lump in my throat and gave him a kiss and cleaned up the mess.
I should have thought to give Cade the benefit of the doubt for his not-so-appealing behavior and figured he probably had a good reason. Shame, shame, shame on me.

Michelle, I'm impressed. For me, it's getting harder to swallow that lump and give that kiss. I know we both love our kids, but sometimes...
sheen-- oh, you would have done the same thing if you saw his pitiful face, seriously. And I am the first to admit that by about 10:30 in the morning, my patience with him is almost out. Hopefully that has all been because he was sick and therefore cranky...
