Swearing at Children

I have never been someone who swears. I have used heck, darn, shoot, freakin, flippin, etc. Which has made me sound slow in the head to some of those around me, and I am fine with that. Being Eli's dad has sure made it hard.

Yesterday was a TOUGH day. Sunday's always are with afternoon church and no naps. It takes a while to unwind after getting screamed at and cleaning up milk, syrup, crackers and whatever else he was trying to plant in our carpet.

Today, I built a really cool train track at his request. Then he had a melt down. The next think I know he hit his sister on the head with a piece of the train track, while he was in time out he scratched my eyes and hit me in the face. I then proceeded to dress him. He was NOT happy, screaming, scratching and hitting ensued.

I know of lots of four letter words I wanted to use, and I am afraid they will slip out.
