Calm. Peaceful. Tranquil. Serene.

I roll the words off my tongue and try to feel the feelings that go with it.

There’s nothing like being sleepless, feeling exhausted and trying to beat a deadline. Not to mention, you’ve got two kids calling out “Mommy, mommy…” almost every second.

Don’t get me wrong. It can get so crazy at times but I know I can handle it. I always do.

But the last thing I need is to get shouted at and get attacked with an onslaught of negativity.

Oh hello, bad temper. Did I forget to tell you you’re not welcome here today?

It makes me want to climb on top of a mountain and scream at the top of my lungs until it hurts.

Dear God, help me to be patient.

Okay, I feel much better now.

Back to work.
