OK, so I was visiting teaching the other day and telling them a story about Kaitlyn and my partner said you better write that down that is so funny. So here I am, I have kind of been using this blog for a journal and crazy enough it is the best journal I have ever had. So just disregard this post if you want I thought since she was the second person to tell me that I needed to write it down I guess I better.
Before I write this I do have to say that I am generally a pretty nice mom and don't really get really angry, but the past few months I haven't really been getting the sleep I have needed and been quicker to raise my voice and become angry. That being said, a couple of weeks ago I had some cysts removed from my head and the night before we were telling the girls how I was going in and the doctor was going to take some balls out of my head. We continued to tell them that they were going to play at our neighbors house. I was just trying to prepare them for a not so normal day. Kaitlyn was very concerned and started to ask all sorts of questions, how is he going to do it? is it going to hurt? what are they taking out? she then said, "Uh, mom so is the doctor going to make it so you won't be angry anymore?" At this moment I didn't know what to think, do I laugh because it was really truly funny that she thought that the doctor was going to take out these angry balls. Or do I cry because my 5 year old thinks I am a mean angry mom? It was kind of an eye opener though because I had no idea that she was viewing me as an angry mom. My response was, "yes Kaitlyn it is going to help me not be so angry." What could hurt right? What better time to make yet another resolution, to get more sleep and not be so quick to raise my voice. The sleep part hasn't been super successful because I really enjoy staying up late in the peace and quiet, I just can't get myself to go to sleep early. I would like to say that I never get angry anymore, but then I wouldn't be human now would I, but I think I am more on the look out to not raise my voice.
FYI, because some of you have been asking? I'm feeling a ton better, the surgery was a lot worse than I thought it would be, but I survived. I still have some pretty big bruises on my head, but I am fine. Now the hard part is the hair starts to grow back in and it makes my hair look really funny. I guess that means I need another haircut.

I didn't even know you were having surgery!!! Are you okay? Gosh, I wish I lived closer so I could take your kids and you could get some sleep! Hope you're feeling better.
I am glad you are feeling better, I could tell it was worse than you thought it would be. I laughed at this story because I think you are a terriffic mom. We all get angry sometimes, and I love to stay up late and enjoy the peace and quite too.
Kristi, wow...I hope you are feeling okay, that's scary! I think my kids wonder the same thing about me...I too am real quick to raise my voice. I was hoping it was not just me! Being a mom is tough! I have to pray for patience ALL day long!! I love to stay up at night too. It's the only time you really get to yourself hu?! Good thing my kids sleep in!;) I hope you feel better QUICK!!!
