This last week has been a nightmare for Monty and I. It rained all day, every day, ALL week long and it really got to us. I always get out of the house and do something. Whether its going for a walk, visiting Grandma and Grandpa or just getting the groceries. But this last week we didn't do anything. We were stuck in the house for what seemed like a lifetime because of the rain. By the end of the week we were both sooo grumpy and irritable that we were about to explode.
It got to the point where Monty was crying ALL the time. I'm talking, every time I put him down (or even picked him up) he would just scream. I was at a lost at what to do. At one point I was just about in tears, I remember holding him in my arms while he was screaming and I was just broken. I couldn't bring my self to sing, or dance, or bounce, OR EVEN MOVE anymore. That's when Matt came to the rescue! He must have seen me sitting in the rocker with the blank stare on my face. He came in, told Monty that "Mommy has had too much" and then walked out of the house with Monty (far enough away that I couldn't hear Monty crying any more). And I just sat there. In the silence I regrouped myself, and the day was slightly better, lol.
FINALLY, the rain stopped, the sun came back out, and we were normal again. It was so nice, both yesterday and today to see Monty normal and happy again. I let him sit outside several hours both days and he just loved it. His favorite thing to do lately is to stare at the leaves on the trees with the light shinning through. So that is what we did. And what did I do? I sat on a swing and enjoyed the very appreciated silence.
PS, look for more updates soon.....and pictures too!
