Ok, my cake is baking. My baby is still asleep. Everything is ok.
I had a tough morning.
I got so upset with Panda. I really lost my temper and was yelling at her and I gave her a time out, mainly because I needed a time out. She was pinching me and she pinches really hard-- Really hard! --and she has these long nails like little daggers to boot. I filed her nails and told her she cannot pinch people...I won't allow it! She thought I was being really silly, because I was being so emphatic. She just kept coming right back and pinching me again and giggling. She thought we were playing a really fun game...and I just lost it! Nothing I did could dissuade her and I put her away because I honestly thought I was going to hurt her I was getting so angry.
It was a scary mom moment.
And it made me feel bad all morning.
But now I feel better.
Baking really helps.
