Miles of Advice

Just found a note scribbled in a work notebook. It dates back to summer.
I had been driving Miles someplace and I was angry at my husband. Chris and I had been arguing, and I was emotionally raw. I am sure I said to Miles, "I am not mad at you, I am very mad at dad."
I jotted my son's advice to me when we arrived at our destination. In all capital letters, I wrote at the top of the notebook page, Miles on Spouse Communication

Just calm your body
Everything will be O-tay
Weewax your body
And think what you're doing

Then tell Dad
I'm sorry, I love you, 'cept but we just please get over this?
When you ask him
He will say
O-tay we will get over this

Use your words not your anger
Right, mom?
That's what you taught me.
Nobody likes a screamy body.
