Frustrating Day

What a day it has been already, and it is only 3:00. I am beginning to think that everyone in my home is against me. I have a 2 year old, there is not much more I have to say than that. I hate our dog with a passion, and I believe that she hates me. Finally my husband loves our dog, therefore completely against me. What to do when you are all alone with no one on your side. Of course there is a story to why I am having a frustrating day and here it is...

Isabelle and I had a lot of errand to do today, we had to go to the cake store, 2 grocery stores, Walgreens, and Target.. This in itself is a lot of ask a toddler to do but she did quite well until lunch at Target. This is where the frustration begins because Isabelle refuses to eat. After pouring squeeze yogurt down her throat and shoving hot dog in her mouth every time she opens it to tell me something, we finally leave. When I get home I have to unload all of the groceries, I put Isabelle on the ground and of course she takes off. I finally manage to rangle her up, get to the door, put some of the groceries on the ground and then Tootise escapes (have I ever mentioned to anyone that I HATE THAT DOG!!). At this point the alarm is going off, Isabelle has disappeared AGAIN, I have my hands full of groceries and then I hear kids screaming!! I yell for Isabelle she has managed to make it into the living room, I turn off the alarm and run outside to find kids screaming as Tootsie is running full force toward them. As much as a can't stand the dog she would never hurt anyone, but as a child seeing a 80lb dog running at you can be a little intimidating. So I yell for Tootsie, as if she would really come to me, and she just keeps running around. Then one of the mothers starts to yell at me, all I want to say to this lady is that I can't stand this dog, I have no control of her so quit getting on to me. I finally manage to get the dogm groceries, and Isabelle in the house. What a cotastrophy, I am sure that was turned out to be a delightful first day of school for the kids as well.

You know this morning Isabelle and I were watching Blue's Clues and they were talking about being frustrated and how you should just breath. Blue's Clues is clearly a bunch of crap, they have no idea what they are talking about!!

Why did no one tell me you need A TON of patience to raise a toddler, don't you people know I have no patience at all!!
