Oh yeah, I can relate too. I never thought I'd yell...ever. Something about 3 little boys running around all talking at the same time asking for something....ugh! Do your best, I'm sure you're a fabulous Mommy. HUGS! Wonderful LO too.

Oh Jodie, this is amazing. Your journalling comes from deep, deep inside and I can feel your pain in what you say. Thank you for being strong enough to share - you are not alone as your comments show. I've done my share of yelling too, much as I wish I never did. The layout of your page is powerful too, with the limited set of colours and the simplicity of it. Amazing.

Oh Jodie - this could have been written about me as well!! It is so hard sometimes in our busy lives to find the patience to deal with situations without yelling! This is something I am working on as well, although someimes if it very difficult when the girls are trying to push us to our limits - almost like they are testing us to see how far we can go!!! Fabulous LO!

Jodie, I'm another one of those moms who could've written what you did! Thank you for being so transparent.

I don't think there is a mother out there that hasn't struggled with this. However, in our defence sometimes it seems they push us too it! I can explain things or ask something only so many times before the wrong button they are pushing short circuits!! LOL!! Wonderful layout and very proud of you efforts!

This is beautiful! I know how hard it is to see yourself doing things you promised yourself you wouldn't do, and how easy it is to get frustrated about that, seeing it happen again and again.
I love the simplicity of your layout, and the little "swish" behind the title is such a fun little touch. Beautiful
