May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 9

Not so. I've been the world's worst mom these past couple days because I just lost control and have been angry and yelling and just not nice to him. I know those are the worst things in the world to do, so that makes me feel awful, but I just ran out of patience. It just got him more upset and I lost count of how many times each day he screamed, "I hate you!" or "I wish I could go live with my dad forever!" or "I wish I never had to see you ever again!" I ignored each such comment of course.

Holly - I really don't know why kids say this type of thing to their parents other than to let them know that they are upset too. My nephew says this alot to my sister (but never to his stepdad)....I know Ian's always looking for Lisa to reassure him that she loves him and that she will be there for him no matter what. Just reassure Tyler that you love him (which I know you do and have done), and that no matter what is going on that you will be there for him. I'm sure he's scared too, and is looking at you to know that things are ok.

BTW we KNOW you're a great mom!

I'm sitting here -waiting for the to finish in the dryer. Just finished watching "The Santa Clause" with Tim Allen. While I enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd movies, the 1st is the best one.

Holly we all go through bad days! Use these days to relax and take lots of deep breaths!

Oh, lots of relaxation going on tonight! I just spent about 2 hours reading all kinds of information on the lia sophia advisors website. Trying to learn everything I need to know as quickly as possible! Will probably see jewelry in my sleep tonight.

Tomorrow I'll head to the gym after work for a good stress reliever and then sit in the hot tub there afterwards.

Thanks Monica. But that's just why I feel so bad about losing my patience and getting so angry.....he needed me to be strong for him and I just wasn't. Poor kid. I just hope it helps that I did tell him today that I shouldn't have gotten so upset with him and that we'll work together to figure out what's going on with him and that I love him no matter what, etc. And hopefully he understood all that.

We just watched that movie Monday on our snow day! Well.....actually, Tyler watched it while I pretended to watch it and took a nap.

Olivia and I were watching that too. She loves anything with "SANTA" in it.

Ladies, I hadn't thought to just pull from the thread until tonight, if you have the pics in a easy to post from spot I could get that page hopping with faces. Thanks for any help you can give.
