Did you ever have one of those days? You know when things start out rough and it snowballs downhill and just grows. The best thing to do other than Nothing is just get to bed

without making things worse. Tomorrow everything always looks and feels better. Life is not a Hallmark Card. Expectations of others are what usually let me down. There is a

an important lesson here. Hope I learn this time. Peace Out.
Some good insights here. I like your "just go to bed" suggestion the best, Nucky, especially since my ruckus usually starts because I'm tired and cranky anyway. But a very smart woman once told me 2 ways to tackle difficult situations. One is "don't engage", in other words do NOTHING as you said. The second is to mentality visualize and tell yourself to "let the train go by". Now if I could just discipline myself to do those things when the situation arises..............sometimes easier said than done.
