What made me smile today?
Baby stomping about in the small pile of dried leaves under the bridge - I will definitely see more of this when autumn fully sets in I think :)

What triggered me today?
I was pretty awful today :( On our way back from my haircut I decided to stop off at the butcher to pick up our dinner, and Baby was very fidgety, being tired but not quite tired enough to nap. I hadn't eaten since breakfast so I was running on empty and was overdressed for the hot sun. Combination of no food (although I wasn't feeling hungry) very hot and bothered, and fidgety baby was just too much and I couldn't get rid of my annoyance, even though I did try. I ended up snapping rather harshly at him for fidgeting while I was trying to get everything ready so I could let him out of the sling.
What would I have done differently today?
I don't know - I just don't seem to have the emotional maturity to get myself to think and behave rationally. I can recognise when I'm in the danger zone, but I didn't know how to get out of it today.
What will I try to do tomorrow?
Beware of that super danger zone - think about how to get myself out of it. And the usual be aware of those triggers, be gentle, quiet voice.
What am I grateful for?
All the sunshine we had today. No cars on the road when Baby decided to run out from the footpath onto it.
