The title of this entry is pretty flippant compared to the literal happening of the losing of the shit. My daughter wanted to watch TV, or TI, as she calls it. She never watches TV but we do have videos that we put in once in awhile and rather than explain the difference we just call it TV. Since she has been sick the past THREE DAYS she has been watching more TI than usual. Today I decided it was time to cut it off and thence began the losing of the shit. She cried for at least a half hour. First I tried to reason with her, then I tried to be firm, then I tried to distract, then I tried to walk away. After I walked away the losing of the shit increased ten fold and she started screaming MAMA! When that didn't work she tried my name, AUDREY!, which is so stinkin cute. So I walked in again and tried various other bargaining and negotiation. I picked her up to walk away from the looming TI but she just screamed OTHER ROOM! Eventually I set her down again and went to run her bath. Suddenly she got very quiet and started saying milk? milk? So I walked into the kitchen and said, "Do you want some milk?" and she said, "Yes." And I said, "Will you calm down?" And she said, "Yes," and wiped her face. So I said, just to push my luck, "No TV Ok?" And she said, "Ok."
WHAT THE FUCK.
I dont understand kids. I would write more but my brain is still spinning from the screaming and the crying and more screaming.

Thanks for your comment and question on my blog!! I have heard that the cream of tarter in my play dough recipe is only a preserving agent, but I feel like my play dough has better texture when I use it. I've seen recipes that call for more, but this amount seems to work. I haven't tried it without, to be clear. It SHOULDN'T hurt it to try. I would only suggest that you store it in a cool place.
