I've done it twice now, and it's rather embarrassing.
I've been dealing with some family issues the past two days and it has my mind in a real emotional mess. I've been trying to deal with it and get past it so I can concentrate on what's going on in my life, but it's stuck in the back of my head.
Therefore, I'm cranky.
And it's draining my creativity like you wouldn't believe.
So the past two days when I've been working, my dear sweet two year old has approached me for some request and twice I've barked at her.
Yes, barked.
And I'm so ashamed of myself.
Why in the world would I, a grown adult who knows better, snarl at a two year old for wanting me to put on (and take off) her pink cowgirl boots?
Why in the world would I act this way?
I feel so guilty and so much like a horrible parent. I mean, I'm only writing. It's not something that I can't put off and finish later. I could stop and calmly grant her her requests (and with a smile), but I haven't.
I've been a mean, mean Mommy.
How mortifying!!!
I just want to rush over to her, apologize and smother her in kisses.
Maybe I will....

Don't worry, we all have up and down times and aren't always the best parents we should be. At least we can always apologize and they're quick to forgive
Sorry for whatever it is going on. I hope things have started looking up.
Just take a deep breathe.
Don't worry too much, it happens to all of us at some point. It does make you feel like a complete failure though. I always think, my God...why did I just do that?
hmmm... last I heard you were human. Has this changed?
It's completely normal to have moods and to have an occasional outburst, even if it over pink cowgirl boots. This doesn't make you less of a person or a bad mommy. What makes you a great Mommy is going to the little one with big hugs, kisses, and an apology. The lesson you teach her after the outburst is far important than dwelling on the outburst itself.
Do I sound like an after school special? crap.
