Okay, I've been up for two hours

[MorningGlow]

and today SUCKS already. Jr is freaking out and having meltdowns over nothing, which is upsetting Mr. MG (he never knows how to handle it), who consequently has snapped at me and now we're not speaking.

TWO. HOURS.

Anybody know where the "reset" button is? I need a do-over. x(

[Callie McAllie]

1. So sorry!

Take a deep breath, take a walk, count to ten, and start over. My guys are so easily distracted, that often something as simple as breakfast can change the vibe.

Good luck!

[MorningGlow]

3. Thanks, Callie

:hug:

Mr. MG is now trying to act normal--I think he feels guilty. We'll see.

[gblady]

2. dear Morning Glow....

I thought about you this morning as I woke up again at 3:30....
wondered if you were awake as well...

[MorningGlow]

4. I meant to respond to your 3:30 post in the other thread!

I had no idea it would be affecting others the same way--whatever "it" is!
:rofl:

It was 3:00 for me last night, and I was so exhausted I fell right back asleep in Jr's bed (as he had invaded "the big bed" and I woke up to find two little-boy feet in my face). That seems to be my pattern--have severe insomnia from 3:30 to 5:30 for two or three nights, and then stay conked out the following night from sheer exhaustion, rinse, repeat.

5. hang in there...

:hug:

hope your day gets better.

My spouse and I have been bucking heads this morning too. Something about him is just rubbing me the wrong way.

[MorningGlow]

7. Thanks, BR

:hug:

Mr. MG is penitent; how's your spouse doing now? Could it have been some external force this morning perhaps?

[Blue_Roses]

11. My spouse has been nice...

it's me that has the problem. He went to the store this morning for some breakfast things and asked if I needed anything. I said, "please pick up some toilet paper." That's all. Just simple toilet paper. Well, needless to say, he bought just about everything BUT TOILET PAPER! He does this all the time. He forgot. Geeze...weird how I never forget when he asks me to pick up something usually just for him.

I know, I know, it's petty. Something else is going on here. It's not about the toilet paper! I snapped out of my funk and apologized for my pettiness, but I agree, something is in the air.

6. Awww... I'm sorry that things are so bad already, MG.

(Universe, MG needs a break, please. OK? Thanks!)

:hug:

[MorningGlow]

8. Thanks, Dream

:hug:

MG Jr. and I watched the third Harry Potter movie during a thunderstorm and then put on our wellies to splash in some puddles. That helped. :)

[SeattleGirl]

9. Something similar happened here this morning, though not to the

extent it did with you. MrSG and I were like two completely different species who couldn't understand each other's dialect this morning.

Hope things settle down for you soon, MG. :hug:

[MorningGlow]

10. Hm!

Makes me wonder what was "in the air", then, if three of us here had the same experience. :shrug:

I'm still crabby--did a lot of crying this morning and feel like I could go off again if I let myself. Hoping this passes soon.

Thanks, SG. :hug:

12. So, no one else can sleep either... I woke up at 4:30am and layed there until

it was time to get up to go to work. Normally, I can go back to sleep for a little before I hear the buzzing alarm clock; not today. Wide awake.

[Sanity Claws]

15. I couldn't sleep either

I couldn't fall asleep even though it was midnight, well past my usual bedtime.
I'm glad to know it's not just me.

[OneGrassRoot]

13. My back went out yesterday...

first time in over a decade. :(

Much pain, walking around as much as I can, typing standing up...lol.

Oy.

[glowing]

16. Yuck, hope you feel better... Try some mild yoga stretches... might help a bit.

[northernlights]

14. free-floating crazy energy?

I almost hate to say it, but my day went quite nicely yesterday. Nothing seemed to phase me much and I accomplished much in the glorious weather. Until last night, when Jakey suddenly "had" to go outside, only it turned out he didn't need to pee. He heard thunder rumbling in the distance and his new neurosis is to need to go out into the thunderstorm and then cower under some bushes somewhere.

By the time I heard the thunder, I was inside and he had already vanished. So I got to end my day by running around in my jammies with a flashlight calling for him. When he wasn't hiding under his usual bush, I got Luna to come help me. Luna very helpfully ran out the back door and led me around the house straight to the front door. :rofl: Jakey, in the meantime, turned up *behind us* in the front yard *by the road* hanging his head in shame. Then dropped down to roll on his back and beg for tummy rub. Argh!

So this morning, I woke up after tossing and turning with sinus pressure and IRRITABLE, with waves of fear, this time of neighbor across the street. I'm thinking maybe that free-floating crazy headed my way with your storm, MG?!

[MorningGlow]

17. Yes, I do think it was something that came in with the storm

Yesterday just sucked out loud, I won't deny it--Mr. MG remained short-tempered although he tried to bury it; I was very tearful all day; and even MG Jr. was fritzy and whiny, when usually he's not like that at all unless he's hungry or tired, and he was neither, yesterday. The storm came in around 2:00 or 3:00 but the weather remained unsettled after that. Jr went to a friend's house after dinner to play, and when I picked him up, his friend's mother apologized because while Jr was there, her son and daughter bickered the entire time. I thought Jr would be better for having had a change of scenery and other kids to play with for a while, but as soon as he got home he reverted to being fritzy and whiny again until I jollied him out of it just before he went to sleep (but damn did that take some effort!)

The winds picked up later in the night and blew the heavy, damp air out, and it seemed like the bad mojo went with it. We've all had a good day today, which has been breezy and sunny.

Sorry you and your poochies were also bothered by the weather. Let me know if your difficulties dissipate once the system is out of your area--I'm interested in figuring this out! :hi:

[kentauros]

19. There's weather out there?

Wow! Lucky you! :P
All we ever seem to get is more hot air (physical and political) with a sprinkling of useless tiny clouds

It's good things cleared out for you in all ways

[BlueIris]

18. Yep.

Irritability has been at a high at our house allll week.
