The End Is Nigh
At 8 o'clock in the morning this is already the worst day we've had since Jamison has been gone! Alexis awoke around 6:20 and immediately started crying and that's pretty much what it's been like since then, except for the little while she talked to Jamison on the phone before he had to get ready for his day, but when he had to go that just made her even more mad about the whole situation!
Jamison is supposed to arrive early this evening back in Maryland, and truth be told that time can't come soon enough! Alexis is currently in the bathtub, with no water, refusing to get out. I gave her a bath this morning because she didn't get one last night because of her fits and she won't get one tonight because we need to go pick up Jamison, though at the rate she's going Jamison may be taking a cab home from the airport, we'll see how things go as the day progresses!
Anyway, she didn't want to get into the tub, and now she doesn't want to get out! Instead she'd rather lay there and cry and bemoan the fact that her life sucks. And rest assured I'm well aware it sucks, but come on kid! Crying isn't making it any easier on any of us! She sticks her head up every once in a while to make sure I'm grasping the suckitude of her situation. I ask her if she's ready to get out and she disappears back over the side to cry some more and then repeats the whole situation! It's the most pitiful cry you've ever heard in all of your life! And of course she throws in the "Help me! Help me!" crap along the way. I can just imagine what someone would think if they heard the whole situation. I'm sure it would involve me being mean to her and being a horrible mother, but oh well.
So I sit here on the edge of my bed watching and listening and I pray that she snaps out of this soon! I have a feeling when Jamison gets home it will go one of two ways...1) She'll immediately be happy and that will be the end of that or 2) She gets worse to punish him for leaving. I'm afraid I fear the latter, but I guess we'll see all too soon. Regardless once Jamison gets home I'm having a big old Lemon Drop! I've more than earned one!

Dianne, is it possible she is sick? I don't know how you would manage to take her temp but ear infections or cutting molars could really make her miserable. If not then just ignore her, ha easy for me to say here in Ar. right. As long as she doesn't get attention maybe it won't be worth it to keep up her fits. Doesn't have to be positive atention, just any kind. In the meantime I will say a little prayer for you!

She's not sick, she's just mad! She doesn't like being away from Jamison and believe me I don't encourage her fits. I ignore her for the most part when they are happening, especially when we are at home. She is just a very persistent, very stubborn little creature!
