Patience.....
Aug. 12th, 2016 08:54 amYesterday at work I found an issue that will now cause me a tremendous amount of work. I reviewed another 25 drawings yesterday and found 12 drawings that may also be needed to be updated in the slog I'm working on to restart this production line. Oof. It was disheartening.
Ben did not have a great day at school and then was obstinate with me. I held firm and calmly explained things and he threw the first real kicking screaming throwing things tantrum I've seen in a while. Obviously he had a lot of things to burst out and I just let him do it in the sanctuary of his room while I ate dinner and got on with my evening. He relaxed and then had quick dinner and shower before bed. He's bulking at what he has to do versus what he wants to do and while I understand that completely we have to learn that we do our "have tos" before we get to do our "want tos". We had a bit more of that this AM so we shall see how today goes.
But I was calm, I did not yell, he got one pat on the bottom when I took him to his room to scream and I think that unnerved him more. I'm also trying to not fly off the handle and be annoyed with the little things.
Got him to bed and I put on the Olympics which were awesome! GO Phelps! Go Simone B! Go Ally and Go Simone M! Wow! I watched and was amazed while working on the Chun Li (a la Street Fighter) buns for my Star Wars Lolita. They are uber silly but should be cute once I get them onto clips for attaching to my hair and put some more ribbons and some cyber dreads on them.
Today is work work work and then we shall figure out dinner and I should get more work on the lolita done on the jacket. I have to sew in the bustling, make 2 rosettes for them and then get the bottom ruffles attached. Tomorrow will be me making the collar and cutting out the crown clothes. Mel leaves for Britain Sunday so I hope to have things to the hand work stage a bit so Ben can have some supervised TV time etc. Though we may also get an outing like the zoo or something. We really should get out of the house him and I.
