Tantrum Temptation

Talk about wanting to eat your emotions.  Started out this first day of point keeping great--had a good night's sleep, healthy rice cereal breakfast, and earned 6.5 points at the gym.  Then it happened.  At my lil' girl's ballet class came the worst 2 year old tantrum I have ever experienced.  Her dance shoes were missing their laces (because she must have pulled them out at home) and I didn't notice til we were putting on the shoes. So being a resourceful mother, I found an old strip of medical gauze in the diaper I knew would come in handy someday.  I started to rip and pull until I had two okay looking laces.  My little one wouldn't have it.  She wanted the "black" bows...an hour and a half later from floor of dance room, to floor of dance hall, to floor of parking lot, to floor in kitchen, to floor of her room, she is finally snuggling with her teddy bear asleep.  I definitely want chocolate right now!  I am emotionally drained trying to remain calm and caring during the screaming, kicking and hitting.  Sigh, instead I just ate a big lunch, healthy, but big.  Sigh, do I justify and say I deserve chocolate? Oh, I gotta learn other ways to perk myself back up...but right now all I can think about it how much See's butterscotch squares would do the job...don't give in...don't give in........
