Mamma Raptor
Have you had those days when your otherwise gentle, loving and kind-hearted self, transforms in to a velociraptor? Did you laugh at yourself afterwards? Share your stories in the comments below.
As a wife, mother, oh heck, a WOMAN, you have those days when your otherwise gentle, loving and kindhearted self, transforms in to a velociraptor.
Your life becoming a terrifying scene from 'The Predator,' turning your usually well-conditioned hair in to snarling snakes.
Fangs that gnash and gnarl, claws and a high-pitched sound only the neighbors dog can hear, your latest accessories.

But it's ok.
WE ALL have those days.

I did recently and I wrote about my latest meltdown on my blog.
Here's a snippet:
i don't usually wake up raging.
in fact, just the opposite.always thankful for a new day, good health, another morning to kiss little cheeks and breathe in sweet morning breath from my babies.
but THESE days, the crazy ones? things go down hill quickly.
a 3-year-old peeing up, around, down and sideways, NEAR the toilet.
anywhere but in.
while i'm trying to make breakfast for a 5-year-old who's SO damn picky, takes 2 bites of the eggs and toast i've lovingly prepared for her and says she's full, leaving it to cool quickly in front of an empty seat while starving children would KILL for a plate of cold eggs and a mother that loves them and will do anything to keep them fed and healthy.
the ball is rolling and it's not even 7:30am.
while i'm scraping cold, uneaten eggs (angrily) in to the garbage,
charlie is spending quality time with toilet paper, unraveling the brand new roll i replaced pre-fabulous breakfast, into the toilet.
when i find him,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOOOOOOINNNNGGGGG?!?!
he replies with the swipe of a sleeve across his little snot nose, dragging it across his face.(p.s. which i hate. it's so disgusting. and the kid knows how to blow his nose.) "nuffing."
"NUFFING?! NUFFING?! NOTHINNNNNGGGG?! THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE NOTHING?!?!
TIME OUT!"
i put him in his room, RAGING, not because of the snot thing,
but because, although he's 3, he knows better!
he's a smart 3-year-old.
really? a WHOLE roll?!?!
time out. (more for his safety than for disciplining him, as the pot is bubbling.)
Have you had one of these days? Did you kind of have to laugh at yourself afterwards?
DO share!
Would love to hear your latest not-so-proud moments and what you did to redeem yourself in the eyes of your children.
