Tantrum Central...

...that's where we live now. You all thought we lived in this lovely little town in Maine. Nope, we don't. Our home is now, Tantrum Central. On Saturday Monkey turned into a tantrum throwing, i want what i want, cranky ass toddler. It was NOT a pretty sight. Mama and Daddygoods just about lost their minds. It was the first time that I actually saw daddygoods really get frustrated with Monkey. Usually it's only me that feels like i'm going to lose my mind and need to commit myself. But this weekend, i think Monkey succeeded in pushing daddy to the main entrance of the psych ward. O.k., i'm being a little over dramatic, but you get the point. It was one of those days that you realize how difficult parenting can be. Not that it's not difficult everyday, but sometimes you have those days, that's makes you wonder what the heck you were thinking when you decided to have children. And then of course, an hour later your child does something absoultely amazing and melts your heart, and then you feel soooo guilty for being so angry with him. Basically parenting is a rollercoaster of emotions. One minute your child makes you so happy you just want to eat his little face, and then the next minute you are so angry with him, you could spit nails. Oh and not to mention being a parent brings along permanent guilt. Doesn't it sounds like a blast. Actually it is. As difficult as it can be, I wouldn't change my life for anything. Monkey has brought me so much joy, that somedays i feel like i'm going to burst from the seams with love. It's an incredible feeling. I hope you all get to experience it someday.

So that's my tantrum, parenting rant for the day. Now to something that has nothing to do with children or parenting. My current reading choice. The Da Vinci Code. It's freakin' amazing. I love this book. I'm just finally getting around to reading it, because i never imagined that it would be something that would interest me. A friend insisted that I would enjoy it, so i decided to give it a whirl. WOW! I'm glad I did. I love it. It makes me want to start my own researching expedition to uncover hiden documents about the Church. Is anyone in?? Oh and I haven't finished the book yet, so please, no comments about the ending. Although I'll probaby have finished reading it, by the time this post is published. I can't put the damn book down. Every time Monkey walks into the next room, i pick the book up and read a page. Has anyone read any other Dan Brown books? How are they?

Angels and Demons is ok, but don't bother with the other two.
