A day off

Today is Martin Luther king's ( The Black civil right activist who fought a lot for black people’s right in US) memorial in US. We had the day off at work but my son's school was open and my husband needed to go to work. He told me to send our son to school and just enjoy my day off alone. I thought it was a good idea and I could be on my own after a long time.
Any way I took him to school later in the morning and went to get Manicure and Pedicure! I really needed that! Afterwards went to the mall for some little shopping and for lunch went to the beach with my Mom, we got pizza and ate it there in front of the ocean, it was a beautiful day but a little bit cold. I came back home and tried to take a nap but could not sleep so I though it's better to surf web and do some blogging before picking up my son from school!!
Last two days I was upset with my self because my son was in a defiant mood and did not listen to me and I got a little bit rough with him on Saturday. I gave him couple time outs and yelled at him, which I really don't like. I should control my anger better. Yelling is really bad but sometimes I just explode! If there is something that I really need to work on, that is controlling myself when I become very angry. Most of the time I can handle it but sometimes I just give in to anger, which is bad. I know every one gets angry every now and then for different reasons but controlling anger is very important and I can say that is an art. Any way I should become more patient and more self-controlled! I have a goal since yesterday, every day that I wake up I try to be a better parson than the day before! I know sometimes is hard and is forgettable but I want to work on it hard!
