um

God give us strength to handle her 4 1/2 year oldness. apparently zoey was sick all last week because she was transforming into .... i don't even know what. She's still sweet underneath. when I tripped in a hole on the playground, she rushed to help me and hug me. i go over reasons in my head...missing school for a week, missing trick-or-treating *although she didn't care, and doesn't care now*, getting two new pets *sweet guinea pigs yoko and freddy, both girls*, two really big, fun birthday parties in one weekend, or maybe whatever dr. jekyll used has been planted in our drinking water. honestly, these last two days might have been the moodiest days EVER. it's hard to explain the sheer mental exhaustion and anxiety surrounding her highness. EVERY LITTLE THING!!!!!! is an issue. brushing teeth is a circus, going potty is not even discussed anymore cause she holds it for over an hour if i say anything about it, and even if i don't. she's been screaming and fussing when she want's something, it's like regression to babyhood here! she's never been one to scream and cry this much...just when i thought i knew a little bit about parenting...my brain hurts and my heart is so tired.
