"this is going to be great" day

This morning, Makai slept in
for the first time in a long time....7 am woo hoo!
I thought, to my well rested self, this is going to be a great day.

We headed straight downstairs for breakfast,
to start our " this is going to be great" day.
Once the little had finally gotten something to eat
after throwing most, if not all, his food on the floor 
he proceeded to through "the worst I have seen" temper tantrum.
He ran around the living room, back and forth back and forth...
yelling and crying and screaming.
Wiggling out of my arms when I tried to hold him,
throwing his milk across the room when I tried to offer it to him.
It wasn't one of those I am not getting what I want trantrums....
those tantrums I can ignore.
It was an I am really upset about something tantrum.
and
for some reason, I lost it.
Maybe, it was because I just wanted to sit down to a nice relaxing breakfast after a nice nights sleep.
Maybe, it was because the morning didn't turn out the way I thought it would.
Maybe, it was because I am tired of the 6 day 10-14 hour work week schedule my husband had been on while living in a town where I know no one.

I don't  know what it was
but there we sat, just the two of us.
Sobbing away on the couch.

We had both lost it.....

Then,
daddy came down the stairs.
Makai smiled.
His tantrum, instantly over.
Daddy scooped him up.
I wiped the tears from my eyes.
That " happens in 5 minutes but feels like forever" moment was over.

Hopefuly,
after the little ones nap
and a box of chocolates for mommy
we can try again
for that
