I know it's going to be bad...

When a simple comment leads to a tirade from the boy on the way home.

When I say "you don't have to yell at me" and he has a snit.

When he falls asleep 30 seconds later.

When we get home and he doesn't even notice me turn off the car engine.

When the first section of the day's workbook exercises take 30 minutes - and that was the easy one.

Some days I just want to run away from home - not a good thing when you're the mommy.
