It's good for me to know I'm not the only one to lose it sometimes. <BR/>I hope you're feeling better, soon.

She was a once-in-a-while spanker and feels terrible about that. I can only remember one time getting spanked by her, and I was truly being a terror that day.<BR/><BR/>I pray my own kids don't remember the yelling moments. <BR/><BR/>Hope you feel better soon, and then you can whip up some sweeties for the sweets to make up for it!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-56374511173196832962008-05-08T15:52:00.000-07:002008-05-08T15:52:00.000-07:00I wasn't a yeller but I have yelled.

It's always the small things that seem to put Moms over the edge sometimes! The good thing is when Aidan is grown he won't even remember this little experience. There are things you and Robert don't have any recollection of that I will always have guilt about. That's just part of the Mom experience.
