Control, Companionship, and Contentment

Yesterday I was on Cloud 9; today I'm down in the dumps.  But there are always Three Good Things:

  1. Despite her epic tantrum and refusal to get dressed, I got Sammy to school on time (and clothed) without losing my temper.

  2. Adam comes home from his business trip tonight.

  3. Sammy is contentedly watching The Muppet Movie, her new favorite thing.  TV is an important parenting tool on a day like today.

    Can't believe I typed Rush wrong and can't fix it. :(

    Reminded me of these Rush Lyrics from Far Cry

    One day I feel I'm on top of the world
    And the next it's falling in on me
    I can get back on
    I can get back home

    One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,
    And the next it's rolling over me
    I can get back on
    I can get back home

    One day I fly through a crack in the sky
    And the next it's falling in on me
    I can get back on
    I can get back home

    OK, Larry, I fixed it for you. (If I allow users to edit their comments, I'd have to require a login, which I don't want to do.)
