I just need to rant (bad mom) 😔

This morning we woke up late for work and I yelled at my 4 and 5 year old boys to get ready because they weren’t getting ready, I yelled at them all morning up until I got them out to the car and saw that my 4 year old looked scared and was silently crying a bit. I can’t shake the guilt. I hugged them and said I’m sorry and that I loved them but I know they went to school sad. I feel like a horrible mom. I wanted to comfort them but I was the one who made them feel that way

There’s no point beating yourself up about it, it happened and you apologised to them. Now moving forward, you need to put better plans in place so that you aren’t waking up late again.

Can bedtime be brought forward so everyone is getting sufficient sleep? Clothes laid out the night before? All lunches done the night before? Breakfast laid out ready or at least the ingredients? Basically you want minimal stress in the mornings and to make everything as easy as possible.

I also build in a half hour buffer into the mornings by waking up earlier and making sure that I’m ready so if there is a crisis, it still means we won’t be late and less risk of anyone having a meltdown.

Good luck mama, we’re all just doing the best we can.

Weve all been here. More then wed like to admit .

A gift for my son 4 years in the making, 14 years to go

I started this avocado tree from a seed the week my oldest was due with the idea of gifting it to him as a birthday gift for his 18th birthday. So when he’s old enough to move out he has a mature tree that hopefully can fruit.

I’ve had it in a bottle with water and fish tank water as fertilizer from the beginning and it’s still growing new length, branches, and leaves every year.

I cannot wait to give it to him when he’s older but I’m so attached to it I’ll be sad to see it go 😂

Diamonds

So I saw a post on another platform where someone was wondering why anyone would buy natural diamonds anymore since they have lab dimonds now and I commented

"I told my husband I want dinosaur poop diamonds not dog poop dimonds. lab dimonds could be made from anything natural dimonds are made from life on our planet billions of years ago and that to me makes them beautiful.
but there are businesses where you can send ashes of your loved ones and they will make you dimonds out of there ashes so I will be doing that with my 1st dog when he passes. my husband and I have also already decided that when we die he is going to be turned into dimonds and made into bracelets and im going to be turned into necklaces for our children. so they can always hold us close to them rather than just sitting in a jar or in the ground. might as well speed up the process. 😋
In my opinion the dimonds that you are able to choose what they are made out of are more special and valuable rather than dimonds that are most likely made of trash or rotting food."
