its 0630, have you had your tantrum yet?

its 0630, have you had your tantrum yet? Good morning dear readers… David attends a day program in a city 58 miles from our home.  He is transported back and forth by our school district everyday.  So he has to be up and ready to leave the house by 7am. This morning, David was caught with keys that he had stolen from mom and dads room.  He was caught breaking into an area of the house that he isn’t allowed in.  And when he was caught it immediately set off a tantrum. “David, what do you think that you are doing…” I asked. “Just trying to wake up” was his response.

ugggh, calgon take me away

Anyone remember that commercial? I feel like that lady tonight.  No, I am not going to caress myself with bubble bath. I am not a lady at all. I am a stay at home dad.  hear me roar… {meow} David is in full form tonight.  He chopped the cord from a keyboard, he stole keys to doors on the house, one we found, the other… not yet.  in due time.  Last night he broke into the upstairs of our house and stole his brothers Nintendo DSI.  He stole all of the double A batteries out of our bedroom. What else… His school teachers described him as “very verbal” today.  Yeah… you could say that.  He has been talking incessantly for four hours.  and if he thinks that you aren’t listening he will repeat the same thing over and over again for half an hour or more. What else… in our
