And I don't mean in a cutesy 'OMG #fail' kinda way," she wrote."I mean I failed HARD. I was late picking the kids up from school, causing my middle child to cry and instead of comforting her, I scolded her because I was so frustrated with myself.
Unfortunately, her bad day didn't end after dinner time. By time she went to bed, Chaunie, completely overwhelmed by her incomplete to-do list, had also picked a fight with her husband.

Everyone looks to us and it's such a terrifying responsibility that I feel like I'm crumbling under right now.
