this day has been

shot to hell.

i actually hope it hasn't but i'm not helping myself any.

something is bugging the poor child.
he was up about an hour earlier than normal. so i put him down for nap a smidge earlier than normal. he cried and threw tantrums for an hr.
oh yes. i did get him up and check his diaper. make sure he hadn't given himself a new booboo while climbing around in his crib. keep him up long enough to calm down. and back in he goes. only to start the fit throwing all over again.

i turned on "the holiday" hoping to distract myself from the goings on in the nursery only to be dragged away by the escalation of the screaming coming from the nursery. so in i go again. this time armed with a cup of water. it took me 2.5 hrs to get him to bed last night, it was almost 10pm when he crashed out finally, and all's he wanted was a long drink of water.
so in i go with the water. only to find that this morning that is not the problem. i still have no idea what the problem is/was. i take him to the big warm chair in the living room and we rock and rock only he wants to sit in my lap facing forward.
and he actually laughed at parts of the movie -mostly the part where amanda (cameron diaz) is making faces at the dog.
after 30 minutes of this i give him another drink of water and try and turn him around so i can pat his back and rock.
the fit throwing starts again.
so i dose him up with some tylenol. give him ANOTHER drink of water to wash it down. and put him in his bed.
i have no idea why that does of tylenol did the trick.i immediately put him to bed after i gave it to him so it's not like it had time to dull anything that was ailing him. but he didn't even make a peep.
he just cut his 6th tooth so he should be feeling better. who knows. i guess they're teething all the time until the last tooth has finished it's journey to the surface.
it's 11 16 am now.

the only thing i have accomplished so far is putting on some real clothes and cleaning up the toy corner.

ah well, it's not like i have any where to be that i only have x amount of time to get things cleaned up.

my favorite part of "the holiday" :
when Gram shows up at iris's house to find amanda staying there instead. he'd been out drinking and goes to stay at iris's house -as usual - only it's amanda who lets him in. and as they are standing there talking-she's trying to explain why iris is in LA at her house and she is in england at iris's house - he leans in and says in his oh-so-sexy english accent "do you mind if i sit? i feel like i might bump in to you."

don't know why i love it, but i do!

when there is no romance in my life to speak of i play this movie over and over. *sigh* and it's a christmas movie too so i get a dbl bonus!
