It's not the belt's fault

How is it I can go along doing what I think is a good job juggling everything in our lives and then something terribly small and stupid sidelines me? 

It is an out of uniform day tomorrow for the girls.  Ella picked a skirt that is new and super cute.  The only thing was it has a rope belt with bells so I said we need to take that off if you are wearing it to school.  The next thing I know, she has pulled it into a tangled mess and I have a crappy parenting episode.  Seriously, over a tangled belt.  I ended up having to cut the loops so the belt could get untangled and I went and lectured Ella about how wasteful that was.  Sorry Ella.  We ended up talking it all over and I apologized.  I need to have a warning signal in my head before I start acting stupid. 

It was a long day and I need to get some other things done before I can get to bed.  The bummer is I think I am getting a cold so poor pitiful me.  :-)   I need some wine with my whine.

I think I'll hang the belt in the hallway for a visual reminder to shake off the crabbiness now and again.
