When I have days like that, I console myself with chocolate cookies.
You are a hero mama for the day. (And every day, but especially for this day.)
Your honesty about days like this sustains me when I have rotten days with the kids, myself. Thank you so much for that. Without your example, I think I'd fall into the dread imagining that I was the only mother ever to feel so wretched. And that everything must be All My Fault.
I am tempted to suggest dropping a pound into a special "here, go have therapy when you're old enough to complain about this again" fund for every day that's like this, except that I think I myself would find it disheartening on the awful days, even if I'd find it darkly amusing on the better ones.

In my estimation, you did wonderfully.
