Stick a fork in me; I’m done. I am not really typing this because my body has been broken into thousands of little pieces and scattered all over my house. I thought my life was hard when Leina decided to enter the terrible two’s full force. I was so clueless. What I wouldn’t give to go back to last week’s tantrums and irrationalitites.<\/p>\n
This week, you see, not only do I have a full fledged terrible two-er on my hands, I also have a terrible two-er who is cutting a morlar. And let me tell you, hell on earth is right here in my living room.<\/p>\n
Leina is miserable. She is beyond miserable. I think we passed miserable on Tuesday and are now somewhere between inconsolible and radioactive. Poor Leina has about lost her mind over this molar. It must hurt something awful because the whole right side of her face has swollen up and I’ve noticed she’s slurring her words as if even having to open her jaw to speak is unbearable. Tylenol has no apparent effect at any dose I’ve tried so far. And, of course, eating is out of the question. Now, Leina with tooth pain is ugly. Leina with tooth pain and extreme hunger is sheer madness. She’s so hungry and hurting that I found her wailing and rolling around the kitchen floor this morning screaming, “my teeeeeeth….. my teeeeeeth….. I’m sooooo huuuuuungry…..” And everytime I try to feed her, she completely looses it from the pain. So we are on day three and Leina and I are both getting a little woozy. I don’t know how much longer this will last but it’s a good thing it’s Friday and reinforcements (i.e. Kevin) are on the horizon.<\/p>\n
The truly sad news is that only one molar is on the move. Yes, even in my shell shocked state I can still do rudimentary math and according to my calculations, I have three more rounds of this terror to survive. It ain’t looking good. My eldest is surviving on about four bites of ice cream a day and taking out her pain and hunger and anger on me. I’m working on about three hours of sleep because the youngest has decided to hit a growth spurt and wants to nurse every two hours at night. I think between Leina and myself we might have one ounce of reason between us. Well, maybe half and ounce.<\/p>\n
Maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
