So tonight, I haven’t really been on my A game…

I have lost my temper – more than once.

I have yelled at the kids – more than once.

And I have apologized – more than once.

The last time I sat down with Nick (and in a bit of defense, this was not out of the blue as my children seemed to have lost their hearing tonight) and I had to explain to him that even moms get angry and loose their temper and raise their voices and need to ask for forgiveness.

Still doesn’t make me feel any better.

I feel I should be better than this as I am really the only parent that is around.

But I know that the stress is getting to us all.

There isn’t and end in sight…

But I have to believe that God is in this…and there is a reason…and we will make it through…

I just have to believe.
