But when the music isn't helping...I'm a talker...I wan't to talk until everything is okay and sometimes people just need time. I'm still learning that.

When I'm about to boiling point, I tell Zach I'm upset (put Ben in the crib with toys) and go have my very own timeout. I'm hoping he will copy me in dealing with his anger someday! :o)<BR/><BR/>My number one coping technique is singing though (can't really take a time out while driving). Most effective is I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus. I just can't sing that and stay upset. And yes, sometimes I have to sing it through several times!Janenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223694810450127279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125947803085363612.post-77873808888964824912008-02-11T11:55:00.000-07:002008-02-11T11:55:00.000-07:00LOL-- that's hilarious Ryan!

Troy hates it. If he's not around to be my human punching bag, I call him at work. If Ryan answers, I feel stupid, hang up, and call a friend in the meantime. Troy still gets it all when he comes home, even if it wasn't a problem with him to begin with.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446315787705024636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125947803085363612.post-50642522785447050932008-02-10T21:29:00.000-07:002008-02-10T21:29:00.000-07:00I bet you are the best teacher ever.I bet you are the best teacher ever.gurrbonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203929499349365706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125947803085363612.post-15361406231098601262008-02-10T16:11:00.000-07:002008-02-10T16:11:00.000-07:00You have no idea how much I needed to read that to...You have no idea how much I needed to read that today!

(especially since I almost didn't and got 'the look')<BR/><BR/>As I read though the list, I experienced a few of them yesterday. The one about the shopping carts gave me a laugh because while making a quick Costco run (is there such a thing?) I pulled into the lot and rejoiced (a little inner happy dance) as I spotted a parking spot right at the front and it was all mine. Although as I approached, my happy dance turned into something not so happy as I saw four shopping carts chilling in my potential source of joy. Curses!<BR/><BR/>Then I went to return our redbox videos (an excellent service, and I truly hope they will fix this source of contention) and I stood in line for 20 minutes while one person proceeded to read all 50 of the rentals (I swear she was even reading the descriptions of ones not currently available) and slowly I might add. Occasionally she would glance back at the growing horde as if to say "they're out of everything good" and encouraging others to gather around while she made her decision. After finally picking one, she proceeded to swipe her card backwards over and over (at least 5 times) all the while appearing aggravated at the stupid machine that wouldn't read her card before a clearly calmer individual than myself suggested she turn it around. And after several mistypings of her email address (unable to find the back button clearly marked BACK) finally found the button marked "skip and let me out of here before several acts of violence are carried out upon me".<BR/><BR/>Apparently I need to go review list number two again....RyanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030041462955168624noreply@blogger.com
