Don't make me raise my voice.

I yelled this morning. I'm not proud of it. It wasn't just a raise my voice either it was a full on crazy we're late your point is pointless I haven't put on makeup or done my hair but I am just going to have to suck that up because..as I stated before...WE ARE LATE!!!!

At one point I was screaming Why are you crying? We don't cry in this family to manipulate! The only time we cry in this family is if someone has died or if you are bleeding do you understand me?

Now, I am fully aware of how ridiculous that sounds and I am going to say again I am not proud of my behavior. Something just snapped this morning. I had felt it coming. I knew it was going to happen it's just usually I am much better at controlling it.

I have apologized to my children. I have explained that mommy isn't perfect and that we all need to try better to get ready on time in the morning.

2 lessons to learn from my explosion. 1. Always apologize to your children. Even if there was some rightness to your craziness you still shouldn't have allowed your emotions to get out of control. You will teach them the art of apologizing and your relationship will grow from it. 2. The only person who has ever walked this planet perfectly is Jesus and you are not him, and even he got so mad at the tax collectors he threw their tables over.

Anger is an emotion. It needs to be recognized but it also needs to be controlled. Find different ways to manage your anger through exercise or solitude. Absolutely do not beat yourself up over it because you are human and you will make mistakes. Learn from the mistakes and do better next time.

My throat still hurts from the yelling I think I deserve an icee right?
