Missing!

I have lost my patience! I'm not sure what is wrong with me lately, but I have NO patience at all.  Just the littlest thing sets me off and I get very upset.  Perhaps it's stress, but I don't think that is a very good excuse.  There have been several times this past week where I've snapped at Hannah for doing things any normal toddler would do.  It makes me feel like such a bad mom when I don't keep my cool.

Tonight when we put Hannah to bed and said our prayers, we said an extra prayer for Mommy to find her patience again!  Hopefully this next week will be better!

Welcome to motherhood! It's just the beginning. I have felt this so many times. One day you can handle anything the kids do the next you just can't tolerate it. I hate snapping and having those feelings. If you figure out a good way to handle/fix it let me know. But the most important thing - no matter the patience you are a wonderful mother and always will be!!!

It must be something with the holidays, because I just said the same prayer last Thursday. I've been losing it a lot lately and I prayed for patience myself. I also apologized to the girls while rocking them to sleep that night. I felt so guilty.
