It finally came to head to day. My down started out lousy. I woke up grumpy and onery and my kids woke up whiney. To top it all off I was hungry. Like, I could eat an elephant and still need more hungry. Owen whined and cried and boobed all day. I fought with him a million times over everything from food to getting in the car to using the toilet. It seems like everyone everywhere was out to make my life more difficult. And then, I ran to the store and came home to, you guessed it, poop. I lost it. I cried. and cried. and cried. Then I stopped. and then I cried. and cried. and cried. I threw Ian in the shower and the whole time he screamed "you don't listen to me! You don't like me!" and so I cried some more. I yelled at the kids because all they do is watch t.v. and leave stuff around for me to clean up. Then they cried. Sometimes you just have to let it all out don't you think? Anyway I'm feeling better now but Ian is still upstairs screaming "you don't like me". I've decided to ask his Neurologist if any of this could be a side affect of his medication when we see her on thursday. Something has to change. Soon.

4 people not afraid to say something:
I kid you not, at about 6:00p.m. tonight I thought I need to escape and I need to take Angi with me, FAST. Instead, I came downstairs to find a hateful email and was forced to deal wih my own demons. My kids are praying for you and for Ian.
Angi, I'm sorry! If it helps at all, (which I'm sure it doesn't really) I had a crappy day too. Maybe there was something in the air. I even stepped in a pee puddle I didn't know a certain toddler had left behind... not quite as bad as poop though. :) You're in my prayers.
It must have been the day for cleaning up potty messes. I know mine don't compare- but I found a nice puddle in the bathroom that had been there for quite sometime. Maybe it is the change in the weather! I hope that today is better. You are amazing- I have really loved getting to know your children this year through carpool. They are great kids- all of them!
Hi this is Sally Smith Kendra Dynes good friend. My son has the same issues. What meds is Ian on? My son started to regress and pooped his pants for about a year and 1/2 we started giving him stool softners and it made it much easier for him to go. Any ways if you ever want to talk I have done a ton of stuff that has helped our son and am still doing a ton of stuff for him. 208-459-6997
Good luck and I would have to say that I know what you are feeling and going through almost to a tee. You are doing a great job and one day at a time is all we can do with each of our kids.
