Day 18/19 Mood
Thursday, July 9, 2009

Day 18 was going well until I decided to cut my sons' hair. The clippers broke 3/4 of the way through and I had to finish it with my scissors (carpal tunnelers delight!!) I found myself in a very grumpy mood which got worse as the minutes went by...it culminated in me flicking my sons' head with the comb (lucky I wasn't holding a hammer) and storming off to the lounge! I did some deep breathing...reminded myself that the clippers would still be broken were I a smoker and calmy apologised to my,quite sour faced,son. This wasn't about wanting a cigarette,because I didn't. I did recognise that it would normally have been a cigarette moment, so the breathing did the job.It's learning to deal with things differently....and I did fine!

 

Today I feel great again lol x
