Boo!
I don’t know what happened to my son today, but he was suddenly a total jerk face. I was ready to disown the child. He was fine in the morning, so I’m thinking maybe his first day back at school was too much for him to handle. Or maybe his allergies were acting up even more. I don’t know. Allergies sort of make sense. We walked out of the house this morning and discovered our van was covered in yellow pollen. Even I was having problems breathing and I’m not really an outdoor allergy person.
We went over to our neighbor’s house for a little bit and I finally had to take Erik home because he kept telling the little girl that he liked the dog better than he liked her. Thankfully she didn’t really get it, but I was just about ready to beat him upside the head for being so rude.
When we got home he started yelling at me, yelling at his grandma, then he punched me in the face when I wouldn’t give him ice cream.
What the hell happened to my kid? Could someone please send back my nice boy? I don’t like assholes of any age.
Here’s hoping tomorrow will be a better day for the lad. Too many changes, too much going on, I don’t know. We’re in for a wild ride the next few months, aren’t we?
In other news, I’m allergic to eye wash. I’ve always been allergic to most things like that–Visine, Murine, all that fancy stuff. When Erik’s eye problems started I went and found an eye wash that seemed to be just saline. I guess I didn’t read it well enough.
My mom has been tricking him into using it by letting him put it in her eyes, then she puts it on him in various spots before putting a couple of drops in his eyes. I thought I’d play the same game with him today, not even thinking about my sensitivities.
Somehow my eyes survived, but a lot dripped down my face. Ten minutes after the fact my face looked like someone had splashed acid on it. The burning! OUCH!
Thankfully the redness and swelling seems to be ok now. Maybe the kid isn’t so crazy for not wanting the eye drops.
