Go to bed, wake up refreshed and you will feel better. Sleep puts it all into perspective.

I've so had those moments of wanting to adopt out the kid (feel free to laugh at my misfortune and sympathize here, I do). When Max was one and drew on his face with a sharpie that his dad left out... Nail polish remover only takes off so much and we had to wait for it to wear off.

When he vomited all over the back of the car because he was reading and we'd told him not to (we knew he'd get carsick) and we didn't have any clean clothes so we had to wrap him in a towel and take him into a store and he refused to wear anything for sale and pitched a fit...

That weekend when I really wanted to go away with my new boyfriend but couldn't find anyone to babysit...

But those times when he falls asleep in my arms or tells me I'm the best mommy ever- they just negate every bad incident we have. And there are way more good times that occur. I bet the next time kitty curls up on your lap, purring, you'll forgive her.
