On...Oh the stories I could share of days gone awry. Once they start, it seems like the hill just gets bigger and we start tumbling down so fast that it rapidly gets out of our control. You handled it better than I would have.I'm the type that would try to fix it all and then make it worse. Sometimes you just need to leave it alone, step back, have a piece of cake (or two :-) and start fresh the next day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834488480632846997.post-32928451738370662192010-06-17T07:02:26.090-04:002010-06-17T07:02:26.090-04:00I know your pain.

I think boys deal with their "terribles" at three, not two. <br /><br />There were some good things about your day. Cake and shoes. I have to say, I don't like The Atlantic. My in-laws get us a subscription every year and the headlines alone just piss me off. No magazine beats The New Yorker.Jana@Attitude Adjustmenthttp://anattitudeadjustment.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834488480632846997.post-78498397644418897182010-06-16T16:36:57.495-04:002010-06-16T16:36:57.495-04:00It sounds like our Es would get along -- not sitti...It sounds like our Es would get along -- not sitting and not napping are his specialities too.<br />Good for you for knowing your limits! And for remembering what you did right in midst of a bad day.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Shoes, that would have been icing on my cake, instead I had to rally because reinforcements were not coming. (Remember the Alamo? That was me that day. Too little, too late on the reinforcement front.) <br />Be generous with yourself.
