It goes with the territory. I too though have taken a long hard look in the mirror and stopped yelling. It was a few years ago but one day my throat hurt because I was raising my voice so much. I had to be brutally honest with myself and I know that only I can control it because I never yelled when they were babies. I can proudly say that I don't yell as much anymore but it was hard getting here. YOU are a GREAT Mom because you listen and you should search and I know this wish is one Lola will forget about because you will make the change and because you are so loving.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Kim<BR/><BR/>P.S> it reminds me of a few weeks ago when Harry told me I was on the computer too much-OUCH@!3 Peanutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124969727188599965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-69985458224931313462009-03-10T22:08:00.000-04:002009-03-10T22:08:00.000-04:00Yes, I'm another screaming mommy who's BTDT.
