twenty-eight

Always remember to...Be patient, take a deep breath and then react.

I try really hard not to yell at my kids. I don't like yelling and I don't think it helps. Really, I think it just hurt their feelings, which is not the outcome I want. Yet on some days I am so overwhelmed that I have to try really hard to keep my patience and not yell. Today was one of those days. I took a deep breath, put on my "fake it" voice and reacted. I was yelling inside, but being patient on the outside.
