Today was officially a shithouse parenting day in my world. May as well fess up! You know the ones. You lose your cool in all kinds of new and interesting ways. You yell and cry and threaten stuff. You end up behaving more like a child than they do! Grace grizzled her sweet little princess bum off 95% of the day and refused to sleep for longer than 40 minutes (after taking 30 minutes to get to sleep), which isnt like her and was super frustrating (noooo - not more teeth already!). Hudson seems to have no ability to do as he is asked / listen / care about anything other than Lego, the TV or the iPad / not complain or talk back/ be respectful. He has been chipping away at me and today I lost my shit! Yep. My shit has officially left the building. Gone. Bye-bye shit. Nice knowing you! I am super tired and stressed because I got very little work done, and Lordy I need to work (cant pay the bills with a smile, apparently). And hubby is working a late shift, so I didnt have my good cop around to reign me in. Just a seriously bad cop at this police station. (Cue good cop / bad cop Lego Movie reference.) Not my finest day. Feeling a rush of mummy guilt right about now. Yep. It just hit. I know Im only human and its normal. But I still feel awful. I love those children with every fibre of my being. Tomorrow I will get up and will try harder to yell less, to love more, to be more patient and at the very least only lose half my shit. Ill try. Promise. But until then the kids are both asleep, I have a glass of wine in my hand, trashy TV on the idiot box, and a million emails to catch up on. Heres to being a better mum tomorrow. Tomorrow, after all, is a new day. A x
