Today's Journey: Keeping your composure...

You know I pride myself in knowing when the right time to speak up is and when it is time to just keep your cool.  But sometimes it is just sooooo hard to remember that fine line.  When I dropped my 6 month old off at daycare this morning the teacher in the infant room preceded to tell me about how my son was staring at her the other day while she was eating her lunch (which is not supposed to be done in the room mind you) so  to get him to stop staring at her, she gave him a french fry.  Now let me first reiterate the fact that he is 6 months old, and should not be eating french fries- but part of the fun of being a mom is that you get to experience those firsts with your kids.  I want to be there when he takes his first step, when he says his first word, and when he eats his first fricken french fry.  I know it may seem like a little thing, and we should not let the little things get to us but all these little things add up.  Today I was able to keep my cool, until I got in the car, then I was livid, and screaming- but not there, not in front of my son- I did not lose my cool! Even though I really, really wanted too!! I called my other half and was yelling in the phone.  Now granted this is not the first issue I have had with this daycare- but I think that today might have been the straw that broke the camels back.  Time to find a new daycare!
