I feel like I've been yelling at my children far too much. Sometimes having a three year old daughter at this age is difficult for me. It seems like my three sons were so much easier and I also had them when I was younger. This time of the year there are a million and one things to do and sometimes the stress of everything takes its toll. You're not alone!! : ) xo<br /><br />~ WendyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240205297076093338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318018466733912574.post-74577672771708636292013-12-10T16:07:04.160+00:002013-12-10T16:07:04.160+00:00I like your honesty with yourself.
