Some days I feel like my kids would be better off if I just locked myself in my room and let them take care of themselves. Yesterday was one of those days. They couldn't do anything right - in my eyes - and I didn't handle it very well. UGH!!!
Am I the only one that feels that way?

Gina, you are such a good parent. WAY better than me. I had a similar day today. Must be something in the water :).
Yes, Gina. You are the only one. That is why I spent the evening following Norah around (literally) because she is sooooo unfocused and can't even walk straight without doing a cartwheel. I also grabbed Josephine by the the arm and yanked her to the ground and then proceeded to hold her down with my legs while I changed her diaper because she kept fighting me and the poop was getting everywhere. I also starting eating dinner without anyone because no one would come to the table. I took my son's dinner away and wouldn't let him finish it because he got up for the thousanth time. I let my baby scream for 20 minutes because I had no patience and I have no idea what he wanted. And I think I yelled at Leona for whining. So they all got it. And that was all from 5-7:30 last night. Now who is the bad mom????!!!???
I have more of those days than I would like to remember! One thing I learned when I first became a Mom is how grateful I am that kids short-term memory for bad things and their amazing ability to forgive and forget~ I just try to remember that each new day I get to try again and hopefully be better! Your family is beautiful Gina!!
I hate those days, I have them way to often.
I actually did lock myself in the room. i handed Ty the potato salad we had to have for the scout dinner looked at him and said "Have a great time." Shut the door ate popcorn and watched Bigget Loser, which is kinda what I felt like.
