Both children blessed me with a tantrum today and for the same stupid non-reason, after truely being stuck in the house for close to a week for the most part and being sedentary watching WAY too much TV. After nap today Shelagh and Rory decided to have drinking yogurts for snack. Shelagh has to pick her own yogurt. I took off the top of Rory's and put a straw in when he decided he wanted regular yogurt. Upon handing Shelagh Rory's opened yogurt, she promptly threw a FIT. God forbid she take a "used" snack. I refused to open another so she screamed for a good 5 minutes. With no other snack alternative, she finally relented and ate it.
Rory ate his yogurt and then asked for his lunch sandwich, which he skipped b/c he was too tired and went in for nap early instead. I gave him a turkey sandwich - he decided he didn't want turkey and insisted on having PB&J. Upon refusing his request to remake his lunch, he then threw a psycho tantrum of his own.
I was strangely calm about it today and just ignored both of them putting their shoes on so that we could go have fun at our friends house, God Dammit. The best part was Shelagh, who had already calmed down, telling me that she didn't like it when Rory cried b/c it hurt her ears. She followed that by explaining to him that he can't just ask for a different lunch and waste what Mommy had made him. Seriously.
