I'm a bad, bad Mommy

Today I took the kids to Big Lots to get some Christmas decorations for outside the house. While there I did something I've never done, in public that is. I lost my patience with them! I felt horrible. It isn't like I don't lose patience with the younglings, show me a parent who doesn't, but this was out there in front of other people.

Daughter was fussing because I put the light up reindeer in the cart with her. She was whimpering and pushing at it, so I grabbed it stuffed into the seat of the cart, muttering "Jesus Christ!"

Then, while we were walking across the parking lot to La Tahoe I snapped at Son because he was fiddlefarting in front of me. I said "God damn it! Move!"

And there were tons of people out in the parking lot.

I feel so bad about this. Not because of the swearing in public, I do that everyday, but the snapping at the kids stuff. Tremendous guilt set in, and I took the younglings to Burper King for lunch.
