I’m gonna go all Buzzfeed on you today. I present to you: 10 Signs You Might Be Losing Your Mind. This blog post is sponsored by my darling 3-year-old son, who has a special talent for bringing all my crazy bubbling up to the surface like a thick layer of olive oil floating on balsamic vinegar.
1. You had a child.
2. It is a boy child.
3. It speaks.
4. It has a special penchant for crying and/or whining.
5. It goes to the bathroom…occasionally on the toilet.
6. It eats things, but only certain things and only on certain days, and things that it seemed perfectly content with only yesterday are now totally gross and unacceptable.
7. It functions on the energy of a thousand suns, yet refuses to nap or go to sleep pretty much ever.
8. Its special skills include tackling, running, falling, jumping, smacking its head, and generally putting itself in danger.
9. Actually, strike that, it’s REALLY GOOD at breaking your spirit, too.
10. You are actually considering having another child.
