    I feel that way sometimes too.
    I just close my eyes, take deep breaths & count until I've calmed down.

    I've been there too. Especially since my two year turned into a terror over night. I've also been meaner to my husband as well. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I know it will pass. It will for you too and you'll be back to your normal self!:flowerforyou:

    Thanks everyone.
    I'm alone a lot because of my hubby's job and my family lives 5 hours away. Some days my girls (4 and 2) know how to push my buttons and sometimes I just don't have any patience.
    Good news is I haven't eating any crap and I'm trying to stay strong. :ohwell:

    I know what you mean. I started back to work this week and had to leave my little one at the sitters for the first time ever. He chased me to the door- I cried all the way to work. I thought for sure that this weekend we would have a good time, but he's been really hard to deal with. I feel horrible too, but I know that in time it will all pass. Same goes for you. Maybe just take a break and do something for yourself. Then once your done go tell your girls how much you love them. Good luck and try to remember to smile.:wink:

    My family lives five hours away and my husband works on the road about 200 days a year too. My kids are older though and we so enjoy the time alone. I used to do daycare at home and then worked as a teacher with preschoolers for 7 years. Give your kids a great big hug, it's hard to yell at them when they are so close to you. Maybe they are just wanting to get your attention. Ok, issues of my own here, sorry, I need to go. Teenagers are not so different than 2 year olds...:noway:

    Oh man, can I relate to this one today. My 8 year old is at the other end of the table in complete and total melt down. :explode: She has already told us all she hates us and hopes she will die.. :cry: :cry:

    It is incredibly difficult to deal with this type of emotion. :brokenheart: She's been in full blown for about an hour now. I need to go to bed really bad...

    Fortunately, (I guess), it makes me more sick to my stomach than anything, so I don't eat to overcome. It does however raise my stress levels and that can't be good.

    We are now hoping she will wear herself out and just fall asleep.. Wish me luck.. Janie

    Is there something in the water or the air?

    Both of mine (5 and 21 mos.) had complete meltdowns before bed tonight. Gah. This stuff is the stuff you never knew about before you had kids.....how could such a little being make you feel like total dirt........Chin up. Being home alone with two is not easy. Give yourself a break. Get them in bed and go take a bath or read a book and decide to do better tomorrow. When you start feeling like you want to yell at them tomorrow, remember how you felt tonight. I don't know a mom who hasn't felt like this. I sure did tonight.:flowerforyou:
