ughnnn

it's funny how frustration creeps into me unaware these days. i am just running along usually, feeling great, and then something sparks my frustration and i am completely overwhelmed with it. it's not a fun feeling when it happens...and this morning was one of those times. 30 minutes of the two of us crying our heads off. he was not happy with me and i was not happy with him. i couldn't figure out what was wrong and he refused everything i offered. not fun! eventually, i had to load him up because i needed to meet ryan with his work shorts..i was terrified he was going to cry all the way, but he enjoyed the ride today (thankfully), which i'm pretty sure had something to do with the temporary new car God has provided us with. the air conditioning stopped working in our trooper last friday morning, and we picked up a "new" car that afternoon. God's timing is so funny sometimes. nick and ryan had decided a while back that we could drive his jeep cherokee (strangely enough-my dream  car when i was younger) while he was in basic training...which is a pretty sweet deal for us. i have been coveting all of my friends' suvs now that i have a kiddo and have to lug 10,000 things with me everywhere i go...and now i have one for a little while. it'll be nice to drive during the heat of the summer and give us a little time to make a decision about getting the trooper fixed. :) and, bonus, noah loves the new ride. the jeep is built to be a bit of a rougher ride (the shocks or something) which bounces us around a good bit more than the green machine does...and noah loves that! so, our day got much better once we got in the car... :)
