Tell me I’m not the only one?

Sometimes I get angry. Sometimes there’s a whole week when it seems like I’m angry. Cuz I am. This was one of those weeks.
No worries, you don’t need to call the cops or anything, I don’t get quite that angry. But, if I’m trying not to express that anger and stress and frustration at the kids, can you guess who gets the brunt of it? Thaaaaat’s right…our very own Bald Man.
Now, I’m not saying he’s always without fault in these situations, but I really try to not blow up and take things out on him that are not his fault. Even the things that are, I try not to just blow up at him. I go for kindness. That’s the goal.
I don’t always achieve the goal. Sometimes I yell. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I just walk away. Even though I don’t want to, even though it goes against all that my heart tells me I want to do, I just can’t seem to cope in that moment. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen.
How do you cope in those moments?

I either yell or clam up and stew in my own anger. Neither are great options. But I had one of those weekends and well, sometimes you just grin and bear it and ask for forgiveness later.
I try to clam up sometimes, but usually it’s better to just get things out and deal with them for us. And sometimes it just depends whether or not the kids are around!
Thanks for letting me know I’m not the only one. 
Oh wait. Yes, I have. I’m sorry, but I just don’t have it in me right now to type it all out again. Besides, it was just ramblings anyway. You didn’t want to hear me go on and on about this, right?
