August 9th, 2009Have you ever had those days when you’re so cranky you can’t stand it? I suppose my hormones are acting up because I can barely seem to control myself today. Everybody is getting on my nerves, and I’m yelling more than normal. In the course of this day, I have made two of my children cry. I know, I am a horrible, horrible mommy. Sometimes I can feel myself yelling, and thinking on the inside, “Who is this insane lady taking over and inhabiting my body? I’m not a monster. This isn’t me.” But I can’t help it. Usually by the time I realize it’s around a certain time of month, I settle down and become civilized again. It might take awhile, but it happens.
Of course, I must do a pretty good job the other three weeks of the month because the kids still love me. I’ll ask them, “Do you still love me, even though I was cranky?,” to which they usually throw their arms around me and give me a kiss. I apologize to them and explain that mommies get cranky, too, just like Nick when he hasn’t had a nap. When I ask for forgiveness, they smile and hug me and then tease me for having been so cranky.

Oh, I own the Mean Mommy Title. Trust me. Honestly, I think we ALL yell and overreact. We just don’t all admit to it.
I was pretty sure I wasn’t the only one, but it makes me feel better to hear another mom admit it, too!
This sounds just like my house! I have three busy little ones too. I was so cranky the other day, that my oldest asked me if I was expecting another sibling for her again:-)
Boy can I relate to you! Some days I just want to hit the ceiling!
After all the yelling, I feel so bad that I just want to hug and kiss my kids.
They are always forgiving just like yours!
