Questioning My Parenting Skills

Today was one of those days where I blew it as a parent. I am pretty sure my kids thought I was some crazy lady because of the way I fussed at them this morning. I left them to follow their routines as usual, but things did not go as planned. Let’s just say after my meltdown everyone else had a meltdown. It was the quietest 3 minute car ride to school that we’ve ever had since the school year began. I welcomed the silence, but the way I earned it was terrible. Today was one of those days where I needed a do-over and hoped that I hadn’t scarred my kids for life after yelling like a mad woman because they were too busy playing and not getting ready for school. We were late, of course! And that just drove me just as crazy because I knew the school parking lot would be a traffic jam. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully I will have the chance to get it right. If not…I think I have two more tries before the school week comes to and end. EEK!!!
