A couple of days ago Lucy threw the most epic tantrum I dare say the universe has ever seen. When every trick in the book failed to calm her little soul, I could tell it had escalated past the point of no return. So I did what any good, wise, mature mother would do. I walked away and hid in my closet hoping to not be found. I know...I know, best mom ever. I sat on my closet floor with the door shut with one headphone in and flipped threw the entire Crewcuts catalog just staring at all the beautiful pictures, blocking out sounds of terribleness and dreaming of all the clothes I would want to buy for the child making me hide in my closet (it must be love). I wanted it all! Every bit of that winter wear, but seriously that won't happen. When I finished my catalog it seemed safe to come out. She was asleep and I had survived. It is down right amazing how on occasion she can switch from such a dreamy little thing to big terrible thing so fast. It is miraculous...it is.

I think walking away IS the best option in such a moment... then nobody gets hurt :) I often think that very thing about my kids (Luke) - how can such a cute, lovable, happy kid turn into a little monster in the blink of an eye?
Next time you are in your closet, call me because I'm probably in mine too. The Jeckyl & Hyde thing is freaky sometimes.
I am going to have to do that next time I am faced with that...good idea, just walk away!
ha! you crack me up! little lucy could never do such a thing!
Oh my gosh, the closet? I was using the car in the garage. You can listen to music and if you open the garage door you can keep an eye out to make sure they don't decide to run away. Which when they are in full fledge exorcist mode(head spinning and all) may not be the worst thing.
