Yesterday I was a less than stellar mother. Blech. I sucked at it. Something happened after dinner and it was all downhill from there. She lost her temper then I jumped in the fire with her. Understandable for J but I hate it when I do it. Yuck. Yuck and double yuck. I went in her room after all was calm and apologized for losing my temper. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry I lost my temperature too." ;-)
It was too late for restitution last night so this morning she had chocolate from me. J then reciprocated by drying my hair so all is well. We're both in a better mood today.
My worker has talked to the K's worker. We're supposed to talk this afternoon. Trying to put my patience panties on but dang it's hard.

I hope everything works out with K! I'm excited to hear about it.
I got a new bra on clearance last night...I wonder if it's a patience bra?
I am so excited for you...and for me...and for you... :)
Blessings!

Good thoughts heading your way, for patience, for healing, for light love and energy... and good temperatures, too
ohh, patience can be so hard in those moments! take a deep breath and keep us posted.
I appreciate your honesty and your ability to own it and then change it up! You are an inspiration.
I will be holding my breath until I hear all about K!
I have lost my temper, too. More than I would like to admit actually. We are all only human :)
I hate it when I yell at my kids (which I do all of the time). It sucks rocks!!
I would tell you to put on those patient panties and hope for the best but I am the most inpatient person ever--oh well. Put them on and hope for the best!!
patience panties, I am getting all kinds of visuals here.... a little weird....
I think it is a good thing for us parents to lose it once in awhile. It is a good reminder for the kids that yeah, even your mom is a real person.
I need me some patience panties.. hmmmm... I see an amazing ad campaign for Hanes her way, Patience panties for mothers everywhere... I think I missed my calling. Should have gone into marketing.
Hang in there.. we all have bad days
Patience is one of the hardest things to have in surplus.
You do a damn good job, by my definition.
Everyone's entitled to lose it, every once in awhile!
oh thank you for sharing!! I hate the days when I lose my patience...and in hindsight think about all the myriad ways I could have handled things differently/better, if only I had thought to do _______. thanks for the blog support :)
Don't sweat the small stuff Lisa! You are human and have bad days too!
You modeled appropriate behavior by apologizing and J sees that everyone has rough spots.
You are an AWESOME MOM!!!
