Mommy out of Control

I feel like a Mom who has lost control. I snapped at my boys so many times today and I hate myself for doing it. Granted they were fighting a lot and needed to be reprimanded but I yelled at them a little too much. I hate it when I lose it like that, it makes me feel like a mean mommy. I know I was stressed about Paul being sick and the day not going as planned but that is not a very good excuse. I need to learn how to deal with my anger a little better when the boys start acting out instead of blowing up at them. Maybe I should try the old trick of counting to 10 before I respond to them. I guess that will be my new year resolution.
