Thanks Jasmine. I have had a bit of a cold and sore throat and I’m probably just feeling sorry for myself. I also found myself raising my voice to my daughter and she started to cry although we went on to spend some nice time together after.

being under the weather is hard enough but harder when you have to take care of others and try to heal yourself. Hey we are human and sometimes we yell - glad you got that all sorted with your daughter and ended up spending some quality time together 
I do hope you start feeling better soon
