Judgement of Guilty!

Midterms are over and there is a list a mile long of things to do that I have been putting off. Sadly to say I have been so tired and stressed I havent done much of anything to get ahead at all either! Kids and I took K to work last night because she was having a hard time leaving us. So we dropped her off and among other things needed like medicine, got some flowers for her. We took her medicine to her and also the flowers and it helped her to be happier. We sure love you mommy!

On the way home I kept talking to my daughter and teasing her till she was frustrated. It is usually we something we do to laugh with each other. Then she said to me "stop it your driving me nuts, and being annoying". This was followed by stunned silence from me and then deep feelings of guilt and regret. In a moment I realized that at one point while studying something and not understanding it for school I said this to her when she was probably climbing on my leg and wanting attention. We all cherish the times we say things that are great for our kids but I got a big reminder of the bad things we say as parents. Im sure we all do it at times and my guilt has now been declared from the rooftops, well just the Internet. I looked back in the review mirror and formed an apology the best I could. I know the apology wasnt as impacting as what I said to her. She then started to apologize to me. I said thank you honey but I was wrong to say that to you in the first place and you dont have to be sorry. I told her why I had said that and said I needed to talk nicer and she said "yeah, we all have to talk nice".
