I slept surprisingly well. Elliott is sleeping in and Emmett is up and working on his puzzle. I’m just getting moving myself but I feel much better than I did last night.
I was so upset with myself for not handling Elliott better than I did but a good night’s sleep has helped me to gain some perspective. Look, I’m about as far from perfect as a human being can get and I’m going to make mistakes. While I’m not proud of my actions last night, all I did was raise my voice. I didn’t belittle him or anything along those lines. I was just frustrated and I lost my cool. It’s going to happen.

Anyway, I feel like today is a brand new day and I’m going to simply work at being better, not perfect.
I really appreciate the support folks. Your words have given me some perspective and helped me see this in a more accurate light. ☺ ♥
Yeah. People get mad and sometimes yell. It’s how you handle the aftermath that makes it. My parents weren’t so good with the aftermath. And they were still decent people and I learned. Mainly to be willing to say I’m sorry to my sons.
