Suppressing a Tantrum

[lissalysikan]

Monster was late getting me last night. He texted ahead that he would be. He also knew that telling me ahead of time wouldn't help, so he called Cherry too and told her to take care of me. I can handle as much as 15 minutes late, although I start getting very very stressed after about 5. He was 25. So I was really really mad and trying not to explode. I couldn't talk any more and was mostly bouncing and hitting my legs with my hands to try to hold it in while Cherry tried to keep encouraging me with soothing sounds and petting. It worked - I didn't have a tantrum - but it was really hard and I ended up falling asleep in the car really fast once he arrived and things were normal again. I don't think we even got to the highway (which is only about 5 minutes from the office).
Then I had pizza for dinner for being good and trying so hard, and didn't even get fussed at for peeling the top off and leaving the crust :).

Bye For Now.
