My Inner World

Munchkin has had a continuous cold for the last four weeks, with not ONE but TWO throat infections thrown in for good meassure. The throat infection she is sporting now, has her in a mood that you would not believe. Since this all started my daughter has moments of overwhelming, all consuming rage. Her temper get's the better of her and she just looses it. This is new territory for us. She has had little fits before but these are like nothing we have ever seen. We have to be consistent, and let her know that this behaviour is unacceptable. And we are, it's just really really hard to see your daughter so overwhelmed with fury all of a sudden. I can see how hard it is for her and that breaks my heart. I just really, really hope that this will go when the throatinfection and the cold go.
It's made quite the impact on our family, I know it sounds small, but it is so strange to have the behaviour of your child change so dramattically practically over night!


Also, I passed my driving test yesterday! I got a re-sit within 6 weeks (the current waiting time to sit your driving test is usually just over a year.... absolutely appaling) and decided I was not going to let nerves get the better of me this time.
After the last time, when I was driving home after failing my test, (Only in Ireland.....) I was kicking myself for letting myself get to so worked up. Was not going to let this happen to me again.
So yesterday, I got in the car, pretended the guy was just someone I was giving a lift somewhere and passed!
I am SO delighted with myself and will send off for my full license this lunchbreak!
