The many faces of Avery...

Complaining...manipulating...and making me crazy!
Then--- he can turn on a dime and be happy, silly and the
most content kid on the earth!
These swings in mood are going to send me to the looney bin!

Today is one of those days. Last night Avery starts in around dinner time- flipping out. His complaint--- a sprained ankle... He is limping and scooting around on the floor. "I can't take it!" he says. "I need help Momma!" (I am thinking... yes you need help! But- not because of your ankle!) Then- he is good. He is able to go eat dinner.
As we get to Logan's for food! He starts in again. "My leg...!Ouch... ohh! I am in pain. We have to go home!" OHH JEEZ!!!
I am losing it at this point.
I rush us through our meal. Get him home. Take him to shower and make him get washed up and ready for bed. He apologizes for his mood and his fit. Promises he will stop. Says he doesn't know WHY he does it! But- says HE IS GOING TO STOP DOING IT!
I am not holding my breath!
Dont' forget the Homework drama!
BUT!!! Remember... the spelling contract is due Wednesday and HE has MATH homework.

Ohhhhhh my goodness! I need to just run!
RUN- far...far away!

I can't take it with his antics much longer. I am losing this battle for sure!

We FINALLY battle through the homework. He goes to bed. Wakes during the night to come to our bed. Then wakes this morning... In A MOOD FROM HELL!
Throwing a fit is to put it mildly. He has every symptom known to man. He needs to go to the doctor.
I ushered him up the stairs at school- he is snubbing and crying and looks like a wreck.
I was about to FLIP a gasket.

I took him BACK to the car- and brought him home. He is NOW asleep on the sofa.
I am about to wake him and check him into class!
He has LOST every privilege he ever had. He is trying to manipulate me in ways I will not stand for.
I have a call in to Dr. Matthew. I will be demanding every test there is to figure out what is going on with him. I can't live like this anymore.
It is NOT NORMAL!
So- that is my Wednesday.
Not pretty! Not happy.... Just have to be honest. This is life. The good.... the bad and the days that Avery is in his mood.
I am sure there will be more to this saga... :*(
