Guilt - But This Time Good -

I yelled today at my 6 yr old yesterday in the evening.  /:(


I promptly apologized with loads of hugs & kisses but did not feel right about it.


When we talked about it @ bed time, snuggling in her bed, I called myself a poop head and said everyone can be a poop head one time or another. She responded with: "I'm a poophead too".  Then out of the blue her 4 yr old sister, who we thought was asleep says (from under the covers) "I'm a poophead too mommy" and we all start laughing belly laughs!


I really did feel bad when I yelled at her and when I say yelled I mean I YELLED and made her cry and I felt like such a SHIT afterwards so my "good mommy-ing" sometimes stems from guilt.


GUILT - I FINALLY I FOUND a good use for my guilt. It led me to help us laugh about it! YAY for us MOMS!!!!
