red white and cranky

Is it possible for a 5 year old to have a nervous breakdown? If not, we are in the middle of the longest tantrum E-VER.

Every word has been whined, nothing is good enough or exactly what she wants, she is hot, she is cold, she can't get comfortable, and I am about to LOSE it.

I can't write because I can't concentrate.

The fireworks going off all over the place aren't helping. She wants to be out there enjoying the show, I want her to go the f*%! to sleep...neither of us are getting what we want. There are two cranky girls in NC tonight.

We had a good weekend, and got to celebrate our 4th yesterday, but I think I will plan on taking next 5th of July off. Truth is I want to be out there enjoying the show too, without having to worry about that alarm that is set to go off at 5:30 in the morning, and I suspect if we WERE out there, doing something fun, she would not be Miss Bratty Pants...or she would be, but I would have had enough "mommy juice" to think it was cute and laugh it off. Either way, much better moods all around, and a lesson learned for next year.

Happy 4th y'all!
