Today started as a normal day. I woke up, got ready, kissed my husband and kids and off to work I went. As usual I logged onto Facebook for my daily check-in to see how everyone is doing. And then I came across a post that really hit home....
It was a blog from a mom, who vowed to stop yelling at her kids. You can read this very inspirational blog here. As I sit at my desk at work and read this mother's blog I begin to tear up. Then the tears turned into an all out ball. Lucky for me it was still early and not many others had yet arrived to work. :) From this one person's blog, I stumbled across another website that I thought was a really cool idea. It is a 365 day challenge - no yelling for 365 days. This will be a very tough challenge for me. So my next thought would be to start my own blog. A place where I can rant and rave about all my struggles, successes, my shortcomings and strengths. So I put out a big shout out to The Orange Rhino Challenge - created by a mom of 4 boys (God bless her!).
I am a mom of 2 beautiful girls where we dream of princesses and pink elephants.
My fits of anger and rage is something that I struggle with on a daily basis. Before kids I would just shrug it off not to think about it until it happened again.
