Work has been tough these couple of weeks. I'm working on a huge annual project that involves many executives and coordination with other team members, it's a monster scale of a project and that usually means a monster scale of stress and other what-have-yous.
The family is suffering because of me, too, unfortunately. The husband cornered me a few weeks ago, and told me that I've been very snappy and impatient with the kids. Broke my heart and cried a little because I know he's right.
And then of course I swung to the other extreme, and tried to buy the kids' love with presents and ice-cream. Then I got another reality check from the husband.
So anyway, between being the condescending bitch of a mother, and the most generous in the entire world, I took a step back and wondered what I needed to do to make this right. The husband knows I get this way around this time and he is trying to minimize his business travels so that he can be at home with the kids more while I worry about whatever it is that I am worrying about at that time. Must say, this is helping me a bit. Thank God for the husband.
