There are times when I need duct tape

Unfortunately I let things get to me today. A little too much apparently. 

The day started off with me remembering that Addy's glasses were all bent and she couldn't wear them today. I didn't know until later today what had happened to them (she apparently fell in the hallway and bent them). So that made me a little irritated because I didn't have time after work yesterday to go and get them fixed and today wasn't looking much better. She did wear them some today but they need a major overhaul, she did a good job messing them up :(

After school I told Addy to show me her library book. We talked this morning how this year she was going to get to bring her book home (in pre-k they stay in the classroom) and we could read it for a whole week. I pulled out the book and it was ridiculous. It was pretty much an encyclopedia full of the life history of Edwin P. Hubble. Don't know who that is? Well, he invented the Hubble Telescope and just happened to be born in Marshfield, MO, our school, Hubble Elementary, is named after him. Addy doesn't have a clue about this and needless to say, the book was entirely inappropriate. I was frustrated. Why would she have a book like this??? So we went back up to the library to check out an appropriate book. She picked out Mrs. Wishy Washy ;) we read it three times tonight :)

Tonight we went to music therapy and were more than thrilled that it was going to be in Marshfield instead of Springfield (about a 30 minute drive). Addy was still very tired and didn't get her little power nap before it started, however, she was excited to be back to it. We had a couple of new kiddos tonight and one former student. An incident happened (not going into details) and apparently I needed duct tape over my mouth because I REALLY offended someone and ruined the evening. 

I have now been in tears on and off because I feel like I ruined a very good thing and I'm frustrated with how things went down. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Oh no so sorry my friend, praying for healing of this relationship. We all need duct tape sometimes.

Oh! So sorry about this. I hate it when I hurt someone. I hope soon there is forgiveness and peace of mind.
