Ever have one of those days when your toddler (or newborn, infant, child, tween, teen, significant other) simply cannot be consoled? Sometimes, despite your best efforts (Rocking Chair Olympics - you know when you're rocking so desperately and trying out different baby maneuvering positions if feels like there MUST be a gold medal up for grabs?, toys, books, funny faces, silly hats, other toys, crazy dancing, all of the aforementioned, etc.), he/she just has a whiny day and there's no way around it.
What gets me through these days, you ask? I take solace in knowing that eventually my hubby will be home and once everyone is safe and comfy, Mama can crack open a bottle of her favorite vino and [somewhat slowly] chug-a-lug. I don't do math (statistics included), but I do know that there may be a slightly unhealthy and very direct correlation between the super whiny days Cade has and the amount of wine I consume on said evenings. Alas, at the end of one of these (thankfully not frequent) types of days, Cade and I will both pass out. For two VERY different reasons, but pass out just the same. There's nothing a night of sound (and soundless) sleep can't take care of. And the next day, we start fresh!
What are your favorite vices crutches ways to get through a tough day?
Oh girl. It's like you read my mind. On some of those days I may even call in the big guns "Jose" or "Jack Daniels". Some days I can hear the clock tick, tick, ticking, ever so slowly until wine-o'clcock. A couch, a glass (ehem or 3) of wine, and a good show, and the day looks so much better! Hugs from me and best wishes for a better day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI speak from experience when I say "consolation wine" can really stack on the pounds. You, however, chase a toddler all day & probably burn them off! Me? Workin' it off with Jane Fonda in the family room.

Didn't you ever wonder why God invented wine? Now you know.
