Kids are fine I'M TERRIBLE!

My kids are bored- we've had a long weekend with MLK day. a school inservice day plus the fact ds missed friday because of pink eye.

So- ds especially is taunting his sister and getting her mad which means fights keep breaking out.

I have a fussy teething baby who'll only nap in the wrap, it seems.

So this is the problem- I scream at them. I cant belive this is me! I'm not saying mean things- but my tone is awful. Like a little whil ago they we're out of control so I yelled at the, to stop or they have time outs in their beds. But I yelled it- loudly.

Yikes. I know better than this! Soon dh will be home and he's really good at making the home enviroment calmer- and I'll get a little break.

I just felt I had to confess. I love my babies. I'll have to do some extra snuggling tonight.

Bubbles, baths and bubble baths by candle light help soothe our wiggles away!

i dont think the odd yell now and again is all that much of a problem, sometimes it is the only way for my ds's to hear me above their own yelling.

i am a big believer of the idea of 'anger without insult' as long as what you are saying isnt mean, i personally wouldnt stress too much, plus it is a healthy way to let of steam before you really lose it, when i get to that point i get really grumpy as opposed to frustrated.

i hope you get some time to yourself.
