[QUOTE="nvts, post: 265460, member: 3814"] Hey! I know how you're feeling. I think that I make my days happy because I need to have some sense of control. I kind of "step back" and decide that I won't let anyone else determine the tone of my day, so why let THEM decide how I'm feeling. Now don't get me wrong. There are days that difficult child 1 has been so obnoxious that it seems like I have a black cloud over my head for the entire day, but hey, I'm human! The one that REALLY gets my goat is when I decide to do something special, like make Banana Muffins or Toll House Choc. chip cookies so they can come in after a day at school and have a great snack and the bus matron rings the bell. difficult child 1 was cursing, difficult child 2 started to cry. difficult child 1 is walking up the street refusing to come back, difficult child 2 is still crying. difficult child 3 pulls up on her bus and has been screaming since they left the school. difficult child 1 is still swearing his way up the street, the matrons are both complaining. difficult child 2 is still crying. Crap! I can smell the cookies burning through the exhaust fan. Yup! I know what you mean! Beth [/QUOTE]
