Say you’re sorry

Last night didn’t start well. My two youngest children napped so well in the afternoon that sleep did not come easily to either of them. I found myself going between Bedrooms to convince children that yes indeed they really were sleepy and all they needed to do was close their eyes and begin to dream. I even spent a few minutes laying on the floor in the hallway hoping that my mere presence would allow them to sleep. Unfortunately that was not the case in this today I woke up a real crank.

Starting my day as a giant sad sack lead me to see every disagreement, issue, or slight as an incredibly egregious act solely performed to make me angry. As such I let little things get to me and ended up getting angsty with a co-worker who wasn’t performing up to par. Expectations were not being met and I was under pressure to meet them, but I had to go through the co-worker to get there and I used my angry face to do it. Not cool. So once the dust settled I did what I thought best and apologized. Not a proud moment, but a moment to learn from.
