Sometimes it's hard to be a Mommy

This isn't so much about Caitlyn's craziness but about me and being a mommy.  Caitlyn is a very vibrant and outgoing little girl.  She has her own opinions, and is very directed in what she wants and when she wants it.  I hoped as a parent I would be the kind to encourage this and help her flourish as a little girl, and in the future into a beautiful young lady. 
Unfortunately, lately I have not been a very good mommy at this.  I find myself being very short and yelling more often than I would like to.  It makes me not like myself very much.  Today, Caitlyn left to go spend several days with her Uncle Phillip, Aunt Melony (Melanie) and Cousin- Madison and I find myself missing her very much. I love her with all my heart and am angry at myself for letting myself get out of control this way.  My goal is to try and be a better mom, wife and friend.
