It is very RARE that you act that way." That made me feel better. I have to keep my angelic persona. <BR/><BR/>Karen, that is too funny about flushing yourself down the toilet. I love your sense of humor. <BR/><BR/>Sherry, Sophia is feeling better although still running on limited energy. <BR/><BR/>Jena, I like thinking of myself "as the center of the universe". It gives me such purpose. :)<BR/><BR/>Jen, good luck with the dresser in front of your door. If it is anything like my house, the dog would be scratching and barking at the door, the kids would be hollering that they are hungry and my husband would be trying to sneak in with me. :) <BR/><BR/>CathyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076282329093508289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-58593426177187157152008-10-23T23:04:00.000-05:002008-10-23T23:04:00.000-05:00I remember feeling the same way when my kids were ...I remember feeling the same way when my kids were little. I felt like I never got a break. I couldn't even go to the bathroom without them sitting just outside the door, putting their fingers under the door, and crying like I would never come out. And sometimes I didn't want to ever come out. But I was too big to flush my self down the toilet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731276173410889180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-42121532863568331292008-10-23T21:20:00.000-05:002008-10-23T21:20:00.000-05:00I hear you.

Just today I was thinking how great it was to push my dresser in front of my bedroom door for five minutes and lay quietly on the bed. <BR/><BR/>Sending you good thoughts, JenJen Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738920697546332332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-8177333073468347992008-10-23T17:03:00.000-05:002008-10-23T17:03:00.000-05:00I know exactly how you feel.

We talk about it too, but I get so mad at myself when I handle things in a "bad" way. I don't want to be one of those people that is nice to everyone on the outside and is different to her family. I think talking about our feelings of frustration to our kids can be a wonderful thing. I think your a great mom!! <BR/><BR/> I hope Sophia is feeling better!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>SherrySherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007190866117617357noreply@blogger.com
