Get home from work, happy son. Eating dinner, child is crying his eyes out. Not sure why. Very uncooperative. Time-out, more screaming. Give him ice, happy for a while, then everything starts to get sprinkled with water. No more ice. Unhappy child. Very unhappy. Not sure why. Screaming resumes. Timeout number two. Finish dinner. What next? Bath time, take trash out, put to bed, glad there are two of us. Child asleep. Pay the bills, clean the kitchen, pack lunch for preschool. Catch up on e-mails. Order stuff on amazon, no time to go to the store. Buy earplugs. No, not kidding. Children's ibuprofen. Maybe he's teething. Research potty seats. Wine charms too.
