Beauty and the Beast
Do you remember when Beast knocks on Bell's door and invites her down to dinner? She says, "no" and then he asks again and she says something like, "I'm never coming out of here." And then he blows his top and says, "Fine. If she doesn't eat with me she doesn't eat." I have those episodes nearly everyday. In our entry I have 'Love is Spoken Here'. Mostly that is just what I'd like to be spoken. Today I really had an outburst and have vowed to make it so Ryan will never remember me being mean and using 'ugly' words as Alex and I call them. There is no hope for Alex; he'll remember. So, if you have time to spare, say a prayer for me (more than one may be needed!) that I do as Beast was admonished, "But above all, you must control your temper!".

Oh Crystal...many a prayer should be said for me as well. Every night I have to ask for forgiveness for my irritability during the day! I know why I'm the only girl in this house! Above all I must control my temper!
I'm with you and Amie...prayers going around for us all and for our New Years resolution? :) You are a fabulous mom...always remember that!
You're not alone!! I remember having those same thoughts about not wanting my kids to remember my angry outbursts and vowing to never have them again. There's no hope for me now. They are too old. But I keep trying. My prayers seem very repetitive on this issue. I have to keep telling myself to talk to my kids the same way I talk to other kids. Why are we so much kinder to those that don't live with us?
I think I speak for mothers as a whole in saying, yep, done that. I think I had the most wonderful parents in the world. Not because they didn't do stupid things, I could tell you stories! But at the end of the day, they were really good at saying sorry and they always remembered to make sure I KNEW they loved me. That is what I remember most and I think that is what matters most. Keep your chin up! You are a great job and your boys love you!
