It all started last week when my 3 1/2 year old cousin entertained the family with his obsession with angry birds. Every time someone in the group took out their cell phone he would ask in the cutest possible way 'you got angry birds in that phone?'. A quote my husband and I have been repeating all week. His mom let him play a few levels with me on her ipad. Not only did he know how to navigate his way around an ipad with amazing ease, but he was using birds and beating levels I had never seen. I had to beat him.

Its funny how sometimes things just fall together to create the perfect situation to develop a new bad habit. I don't believe I would usually think twice about my cousin beating me at angry birds, but this week was different. Jude has been screaming all week. I don't just mean crying, I mean inconsolable outright screaming. Nothing will soothe him. Someone told me these phases are called 'the purple cloud'. After days and days of trying everything I can think of, being awake for hours each night and sleeping in terribly uncomfortable positions as Jude has decided that he will absolutely not sleep in his own bed, I needed an escape. I found it in angry birds.

Do I feel like a terrible mom when my son lays next to me fussing while I am launching electronic birds and digital pigs in helmets? Absolutely. Did I need some something to help me get through the day without having a major melt down myself? It would appear so. Don't get me wrong, I am not leaving Jude alone for hours on end. I am just taking a little 'me time' when nothing else seems to be helping anyway. Now i really must go. The baby is sleeping and I just achieved 'light feather'.
