Sark is way out there I admit but she does have tidbits that hit the spot.
from How to Really Love a Child
"Be there...if they are crabby, put them in water. If they are unloveable, love yourself. Realize how important it is to be a child"
I read this while going to the bathroom in the boys bathroom BECAUSE my hormonal big fry is as I type taking a hot bubble bath with my stress relief/peppermint/eucalyptus body wash. Yep, putting him in water definitely worked AND gave me some time to remember it is important to be a child and sometimes hard.

I remember that "put them in water" statement! I think I read it when TM was a baby, in another Sark book that Carey gave me.
So glad to know it still works!
Speaking of hormones...Moose hasn't spoken to me for two days. Maybe he needs a bath...
Uh two days? Do you just wait that out?
all this hormonal talk is scaring me. i thought that was just girls. dang.
i remember the silent treatment. and i also remember that i thought i was punishing my parents, but it was actually really hard and i kinda ended up punishing myself. was always so glad when they told me to knock it off...:)
