Today was a bad day.
It started out with dh shutting off my alarm... so, I didnt get up till 10:30. That is when mass starts not when I should be getting out of bed. Granted, he said he did it because I have been sick the past few days but I did want to go to church today.
We went out to breakfast after I got up, got dressed and got the boys dressed.
The weather was warm, the snow was melting, and I was starving. We went to one of our usual haunts... had a good breakfast....and then all hell broke loose.
I was getting F's coat on... and getting ready to pay the bill... I asked dh where the boys were and he told me they were looking at the fish... then I heard someone yell that there was a kid in the street.......
BOTH OF MY FLIPPING TODDLERS WERE RUNNING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC ON A 5 LANE HIGHWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL WHILE THEIR DAD WAS RUNNING HIS FLIPPING MOUTH AND I WAS GETTIN A COAT ON!
*puke*
So.... I put F down, and fly out the restaurant, and into the road.... THANK GOD the drivers had stopped and a man was trying to make sure the boys came back into the driveway.
I grabbed up the boys, got them to the sidewalk, and then unleashed my fury. Of course, they are 2...and they dont get it... cuz E asked if I was mad.... well after the butt chewing I gave them...it was probably obvious to everyone within 1/2 mile radius that I was po'd. Then I hugged them tight and put them in the car. Then I paid the bill. Got in the car and I wanted to puke....
When we got home I was still shaking.... and just felt out of my body... of course...the boys were total pistols after that...like they needed to punish me more...
I can have weeks of just good things...good feelings, happy times, and big hugs and wet kisses... and all it takes is a day like to today to kick my butt back into reality. Days like today make me wonder..... what would I have done???
All I know is I have to do better than what I did today.....

I think we all lose it when something that scary happens. I know I certainly would. I can't even imagine the fear (only because Ruby isn't walking yet so we haven't had any incidents like that but I'm sure they're awaiting me).
Don't beat yourself up - you did the best you could in an utterly terrifying moment.
