Really bad day

[Maggyie]

I went to my parents' house to try to take 6 month pics of my daughter. Big mistake, they have big dogs they don't control properly that jump all over and bark and scare the baby. Then my expensive camera that I saved for for 1.5 years doesn't work properly no matter how I adjust the settings, use flash etc. All the photos are blurry.

Meanwhile my mom in the background is prattling (she's mentally ill so she literally can't stop talking once she starts; it's not her fault but it does start fraying your nerves no matter how compassionate you try to be. I still haven't learned how to just put her on ignore. She's very happy and doesn't need to be interacted with, just needs to talk). 

It was a huge bust and I'm disappointed not least in myself. I threw an adult version of a temper tantrum (not throwing things, ha, but snappy... And I even stomped my foot!) sad sad day. Need to get better. I have a very short fuse lately.
