I was raised in a house with a very cranky father. This is no excuse, but it is how I have learned to relate to other people. It is the role model I had for parenting.

I find I am overly cranky for no reason. I could blame being too tired, but even when I get enough sleep I am cranky.

My real goals are: to be a better Mother, to be a better Wife, and to be a better Friend. But, those seem to vague to put on the list. Besides, we are always growing in those capacities. They would never been checked off.
