Getting lost

This has been a doozy of a week.  G has hit the Angry 3's and I am stressed to the limit with school and whatnot.  Everything is such a struggle with the little man that by the time he's in bed, I'm ready too.  Only, I usually have a ton of reading to do or a paper to write or a test to study for.  Arg.

G is reluctant to do anything that Mommy asks him to.  Tantrums have become commonplace and it's not unusual to have 3 before lunch (1 - wanting to go outside, 2 - having to change into clothes to go outside, 3 - having to wear shoes now that it's getting cooler).  Today was no exception.

However, today was a day that G was signed up to go to the child development center on Post.  The only thing getting me through my day was the thought of dropping him off at 3pm.  Anyway, off we go, in my car.  He's pleasantly sitting in the backseat talking to me about water towers and antenna towers - his favorite roadside objects right now.  We turn toward the Main Gate of Post and as I'm getting my ID out, I just happen to look in the mirror to see G throw up.  Not a retching, heaving mess but a calm little "urp". 

His little eyes got huge and I start my Mommy Reassurance Speech.  He urps again.  And again.  Now, it's all over him but he's still very calm about it.  I get through the gate and find someplace to pull over.  G's now asking me to "get it off, Mommy!" 

Long story short, he didn't go to CDC, obviously.  AND, he's not scheduled again until Monday.  I tried to get him in either tomorrow or Friday and the only time they had available was during the party he's attending on Halloween.

Fast Forward to home.  He's fine.  Must have eaten too fast or something because Vomit Boy is now running around like a madman.  No fever, no nothing.  We, of course, have about 2 more tantrums before dinner.  I was, and still am, frazzled and about to tear my hair out.

We're sitting at dinner and G reaches out to me and pats my hand.  "You okay, Mommy?"  I smile and say, "yes".  He then grabs my hand to hold it and says, "I hold your hand so you not get lost."  And there we sat.  Holding hands and eating.
