This morning I had an out of body experience. Kids were doing normal kid stuff, meanwhile I was showing a full set of venomous teeth. After watching my very ugly grumpy self from what felt like afar I would simmer down and try to “talk nice.” But My! That monster me is pretty big and stormy when it wants to be. My own time outs were just not cutting it today. I need to have the really nice, lovely, sweet, fun, wonderful me come back and re-inhabit this body and send monster mom far away.

Funny how I feel like I am watching myself act horribly and I end up saying, “Oh no! Don’t do that!” But it is like talking to a ridiculous character on the TV who who goes ahead and does just what everyone knows they should NOT.
