Just felt over "it."<br /><br />But like Mrs Woog said above, we are only human. And I think your boys are more likely to remember the good days. My mum spoke to me recently about one of her grumpy days - I must have been about 6 at the time. She stills feel guilty about it, I have no recollection.<br /><br />I am late to this post as usual (i seem to catch up on your blog on the weekends) so hope you are feeling much better now!<br /><br />Gill xoInkPaperPenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595595934607152505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-35245032726804877722011-04-21T21:15:15.463+10:002011-04-21T21:15:15.463+10:00Hope today was better, Allison... but I think (hop...Hope today was better, Allison... but I think (hope and pray) that it's OK for the kids to see us down some days.

I'm guilty of them more than I'd like to admit. But I still believe we have a happy home where the children are loved and they know it. That is the most important thing. And as others have said, kids remember the good stuff so don't feel guilty. You are a wonderful mother and person and are allowed an off day.

While I was busy 'taking care' of everyone in our home, I took little time to take care of me, and certainly was distracted by every day on goings that I missed a lot as well. So, stop now and then and just take it all in, enjoy what's around you, the sound of your child's voice, their silly thoughts and questions, find out what's going on in their lives outside of 'home' , don't take a moment for granted.
