Terrible Twos, Teething and Timeouts...

So for the past couple months I've noticed my son is starting to hit those dang terrible twos that everyone warns us about when we are pregnant and enjoying our baby's first 18-24 months of life.  At first I was like these are not as bad as everyone was telling me until he really starting to get into the swing of it.  At first it started with smacking me, I've tried telling him not to smack mommy but he did not listen.  So then I broke down and it was timeout time.  At first he didn't know what it was about until I used my STERN voice, which of course now he understands what timeout is all about now and it seems to work  he doesn't hit me anymore. But now he throws things, screams, cries, whines (for no reason).  Which brings me into the teething part of my story.  I've noticed my darling boy chewing on toys (which he never does, unless he is teething.), have slight fevers, and of course the whining.  When I brush his teeth I don't see any teeth poking through in the back but I have a feeling they are coming.  I've been a stay at home mother for the past 2 years, now I'm thinking it's time to find a job and get myself out of the house and having some time out by myself, or I may find myself rocking back and forth in the corner of the bathroom with the door shut and locked ;-)
