I yelled at Leah today.
About something so dumb like getting her second pop tart of the day right before dinner without asking me and about how we eat way too many snacks in this house and about some ridiculous idea of how we are going to get on a strict eating schedule like the kids I used to nanny in San Francisco and about how our pantry is just a free-for-all snack shack.
I made her cry.
And then a few minutes later I was still feeling so bad about it that I went into the pantry and ate some Easter chocolate. No joke.
I came out and discovered she had found comfort in her blanket and Annie, who was curled up on the chair reading The Friend. She looked so sweet. They both did.
And I cried. And then repented.

Thanks for sharing Sarah, good to know I'm not the only one repenting for yelling at my kids (only difference is, I find myself repenting daily :( )
How darling! I love these girls. They are so lucky to be such good friends. More than once have I counted on you, steph, and kristen to be there for me and you always have. I love sisters!
Oh Sarah, don't we all do that? This scenario sounds like one that has been played many times at my house. Thank goodness children forgive and love so easily. I'm learning a lot as a mom.
That is too precious!!!!
Definitely tender. I hate to think about how many times I've yelled about silly things....and then ate chocolate. What beautiful girls and what beautiful photos. You have an amazing eye, in addition to being a terrific mom.
Please tell me that's not the first time you've done that... :) Happens to all of us, and I'm so amazed at how stupid the reasons can be sometimes! I swear I repent everyday for something I said to Mia.
