Just Venting!

Today I'm just venting. It seems like my kids are in the stage where everything is a fight. They will do battle over almost anything. I here a lot, that's my spot, move I want to sit their, get out it's MY room, I want the bowl with more ice cream, move I want to see and endless other combinations you could imagine. This monday I get an A for handling an arguement the kids were in, however today I get a C-. On Monday I used love and logic, today I got worked up and frustrated. I raised my voice and blubbered something about how I wasn't going to allow fighting in my house or in my car for that matter. lol! I sounded ridiculous! Then I felt terrible because I set the wrong tone for the whole day. I admit 99.9% of the time we leave with smiles and heartfelt hugs, but today the kids gave me half hugs and walked with their heads down. I hate those days. Now I am thinking I need to make it right and go down for lunch and work it out. I guess I just need to roll up my sleeves again and work harder at being the one that shows the way. Okay, I guess I feel better now.
