Am I a terrible mom??????

So, recently I find that i don't like the kind of mom that I am. I am always yelling & doing all that I can to not interact with Joey & Calvin. I was flipping through the channels the other night & happened upon Super Nanny........She was talking to the mom about using a firm tone, when I try that I am yelling. So I ask what is the difference between a firm tone & yelling b/c I can not differentiate feel such guilt....my kids are basically good boys, they are just hard wired to be active & need to be out running around. I just am getting so lazy these days. So I am going to try this weekend to get them outside., be a little more patient, & just let them be little boys.

Sometimes Joey & Calvin just drive me CRAZY.....I made a comment to Geo that sometimes I just want to hurt them. I would NEVER EVER hurt them, but there are just times I don't know what to do. So hubby kind of scolds me for saying this, I in turn say that there are other moms who feel the same way & it is normal. Isn't he the person I should be able to be my most honest self with? I fly off the handle so easily....

On to good news....we had Joey's parent/teacher conference today. He is doing so well & I am so impressed with the progress he has made since September. I am in awe of the things that he is learning. Just a few improvements in the department of being easily distracted & talking too much! Not surprised by that at all, he is after all my son, just like his mommy! I am so proud of him...He is reading for good old Kindergarten. Have an appt scheduled for March 17th to register him & Calvin is registered for his first year at Good Shepherd! My how fast time flies!
