Despite my best efforts to stay organized and on track, yesterday my day went off the rails. I felt like I was chasing my tail from the moment I rolled out of bed. I managed to keep it together until early afternoon, but my day quickly dissolved.
I don't know if Timmy sensed that I was out of sorts, or if he was feeling off as well. But seemingly without cause,Timmy completely melted down because of a relatively mundane issue with his computer. I tried to reason with him and calm him down for nearly an hour. Eventually, I hid in the bathroom and cried.
Seeing Timmy so frustrated broke my heart. I felt like a failure because I couldn't calm him down. Even though he eventually calmed and returned to "normal," I continued to tread water for the rest of the day.
Sigh. I hope today is better. I don't like feeling like such a maternal failure.
