I'm gonna whine for a minute - can I have some cheese


coasterqueen wrote: Just having one of those mornings today sad.gif I feel so horrible because I was so stressed and in such a rush that I got mad at Kylie and yelled at her. She didn't cry or get upset when I did it, but I just feel like a terrible mommy for doing so sad.gif Why can't I control my anger? When I get stressed or upset I just get angry and yell sad.gif I'm really trying to control it and I've gotten much better since having Kylie, but I just feel awful that I got upset at her for something stupid sad.gif bawling.gif bawling.gif

I was just so behind this morning and I needed to be at work on time, which I hardly get there on time these days. Kylie has been slow-poking around for days lately. I thought they didn't hit this phase till much later???? I try to get her clothes on and she runs around and I have to chase her and then as soon as I get one pant leg on she's moving all over the place. Grrr. Then I'm in a hurry trying to put her shoes on and she wants to help. Then when we get to the van, she always likes to play this little game of me chasing her around the van 5 or 6 times every morning. Usually I just play along and she thinks it's great, but this morning I was in a hurry and stressed! UGH!

Then Dh called and said he wore his tennishoes with his suit rolleyes.gif and could I bring his dress shoes. I knew one day that was gonna happen to him! rolleyes.gif So I had to rush all the way over to his work to bring him his shoes. I told him how I got upset at Kylie and he just said "well, you have to control that temper". Grrrr. I knew that. He just has no idea what it's like to try to get a child ready in the morning, get her fed, get myself ready in some decent manner w/o getting yuck all over me and try to make it to work on time! Grrrr. mad.gif

Oh and my sister called last night because I needed her to do something for me. She doesn't know I know about her moving out temporarily and she said she could do me the favor because she was on her way to mom&dads. I said "oh, you are, why are you going there?" And she said "to pick up my stuff". So I said "your plumbing just got fixed?" and she didn't say anything. Then she went into this whole conversation of her and Brent going to a friend's wedding and how Brent and her want to spend more time with Kylie, etc, etc, etc. HELLO! She's going back to him already???? What is the deal? I wanted to say something so bad to her, but I promised my dad, so I didn't sad.gif I just pray he is not hurting her. If he is, grrrr, I just don't know what I will do.

Okay, I feel better smile.gif

Julie (jem0622) replied: Just want to send hugs your way. One of those days.

I had to get after Gabe for spilling his sippy on the carpet (I don't use the no spill things b/c (1) he can't drink from it and (2) they harbor so much bacteria and ick). I felt like a bad Mommy.

Sometimes we just have to leave the room or take a step back and bite our tongues. I feel like I'm on Nathan (4) all of the time b/c he is constantly trying to knock Gabe down and take things from him. Argh.

DansMom replied: Just a sympathetic nod from me---similar morning here. I hope things get better!

amynicole21 replied: Sorry, Karen... grouphug.gif I've been there MANY times... Hope your day gets better!!

jen replied: I am sorry Karen! ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) I hope your day gets better as it goes on! The one thing I can tell you from my experience as I am sure you know about your sister that each time you leave someone and go back to them things are a little weaker. Maybe she will eventually leave enough to know there are better things out there! I would maybe talk to your dad again and get the "OK" to talk to her about it, she would probably be relieved.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Awwww hon I am soo sorry, I know how you feel thats part of my bad day yesterday.......well kinda the rushing and feeling your never gonna make it on time. Big hugs and hope to having a better day!

aspenblue1 replied: grouphug.gif I have been there before. I hope you are having a better day.

kimberley replied: sad.gif many hugs to you! grouphug.gif grouphug.gif i can totally relate to the hectic mornings. we all lose it some times. it just shows that you are a good mom that you worry about how your actions affect others. i find if i get up an hour before i need to and do lunches and stuff the night before, my mornings are less crazy and i am not so frazzled. i hope the rest of your day goes better. sorry about your sis too. it's hard to watch them make mistakes, but unfortunately that's all we can do. she is still in my prayers that she gets out of that awful situation. grouphug.gif

kit_kats_mom replied:
I was going to say the same thing. I've been trying very hard to control my temper but I have had a couple of days where the devil inside just won't stay down and I've said some pretty hateful things. I always feel terrible afterwards and I've really tried to behave better. It's been one whole week since I've had an "outburst" and I'm patting myself on the back for that.
However, it happens to the best of us. Case in point my DH. He has never lost his temper with K or if he has he hides it very well. She had a gassy/restless night last week and he was kinda mean....I was suprised but then again, it kinda made me feel a little bit better to know that I'm not the only one who can't always control her emotions.

I hope you day goes better.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I have been there too. I can get pretty scary when my temper is raging. I have gotten a lot better since Jade was born, but I still have my moments and I always feel really bad when that temper is at Jade. This week has been pretty tough. I have a cold and on top of that I had AF. It's hard to control anger when you aren't feeling well or stressed. I have fought all week to keep Jade from getting the cold, but she has it. We were up a lot last night and I'm pretty tired today so who knows. You are not a bad mommy because you yelled at Kylie we are all in fact only human and we all will have our moments. I hope your day gets better. grouphug.gif

DansMom replied: Yeah, I growled quite loudly this morning when I couldn't get my pump bag zipped up. Daniel was right there with his hands in the bag trying to help, and when I growled it scared him and he started crying. I felt SO BAD. Then when I was leaving for work I scooped him up for a big hug, and he wiped his snotty nose on the shoulder of my new sweater---big streak of shiny gunk embedded in wool fibers. I just hugged him, but inside I was growling again. And these little things don't usually bother me, I even think they are funny, except when I'm super-tired, overextended and have AF.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I have been there! I just commend you for doing this every day! I can't imagine having to go through that rush every day. It is stressful. I hope your day got better. You aren't a horrible mommy....you are a fantastic mommy and Kylie loves you so much. Hang in there! grouphug.gif

CantWait replied: Sorry you had such a rough morning, I hope the rest of the day goes better. Good Luck to your sister grouphug.gif

coasterqueen replied: Thanks everyone smile.gif You are all so GREAT!!!! My day has been much better. DH is even giving Kylie a bath right now so I can be sure to "destress" tongue.gif Just hope she goes to sleep easy tonight too, so I can do my Taebo dvd and really get my stress out biggrin.gif

Kaitlin'smom replied: good DH to help you, we moms need that everyonce in a while.

A&A'smommy replied:
