Sometimes I Would Just LOVE To Growl Out Loud!!!!

I have picked up the habit of using the Grrrrr when I am online to show my frustration/irritation at things and sometimes I wish I could really growl at people sometimes without seeming like a complete psycho!!!! I try my VERY best to never cuss so I think growling would make me feel better!!!! (I probably only cuss a couple of times each month...PMS gets me every time!!!!)

In this post I will list two times I would have loved to growl:

After I dropped Riley off at school this morning Samuel and I ran to Walmart. I had completely forgotten trash bags at the grocery store the other night and we are getting low on dish deterent so away we went. When we got inside I remembered that the new Barbie Three Musketeer movie came out this week and so did the Deigo Artic Adventure move so I thought I would buy Riley and Samuel those as a special treat. Riley for doing so well in school and being so well behaved and minding her manners and Sam for being such a big boy and doing such a wonderful job with his pottying. After Walmart I took Sam to get a spiffy hair cut and we were on our way home to clean up a little before picking Riley up.

When I was putting Riley in the car and buckling her up I was attempting to have a quick conversation with another parent and Riley started yelling at me..."Mommy I am TRYING to tell you something!!!! Mommmmmmy!!!!!! LISTEN to me!!!!!!!" I had to sternly tell her that I was speaking to an adult and asked her to please be quiet. When I got in the car I really wish I could have growled at her!!!!! That would have described my frustration perfectly!

After a long talk with her on the way home regarding the fact that it was very ugly for her to interrupt me while I was talking with another adult and that she would have plenty of time while we were riding home to tell me what she wanted to say I decided that I would go ahead and tell her that I had a surprise for her when we got home....despite her severe lapse in manners. When we got home I gave her the movie and she instantly dropped to her knees and said that she did not want the movie she wanted the dolls. Again...I REALLY wish I could have growled out loud!!!! I calmly said "Okay, I still have the receipt I will take the movie back to the store tomorrow. " I placed the DVD on top of the refrigerator and we just had another talk about how we need to appreciate the gifts we are given and not demand something else instead.

Being a parent is so hard sometimes!!!! On one hand I want to give my children all I can but I don't want them to always expect things and grow unappreciative of the things they are given. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
