Today was one of those days...

....where i feel like running away to a secluded island and screaming my lungs out!!
Zac has been very very temperamental today...very very clingy and just a absolute challenge! He yells and screams every time i leave him and step into the kitchen, actually he really hates it when i have to cook dinners or lunches...he will stand at the gate (a child-proof gate leading to the kitchen) and cry his eyes out. I have tried explaining to him why i have to be in there....doesn't work. I have tried indulging him by playing with him for awhile hoping that he will be satisfied and leave me to cook his meals...it doesn't work. I have tried bringing out my pots and pans to encourage him to imitate me hoping that he will be distracted by that...it works but only for 2 minutes! I have tried ignoring him....but i feel my blood boil with each screaming episode.
Today was extra bad, was already kind of behind in getting dinner started, and i know that i have to get it ready for Zac or he will be really impatient with hunger. SIGH
Days like this that i don't even dare to entertain the idea of having a second one and i really wonder how mothers-of-more-than-one-kid manage???
Days like these really make me feel so helpless...Lord give me the strength and peace of mind.
