Of Temper Tantrums & Thanksgiving (Not the holiday!)

I’m usually a pretty level-headed person and don’t lose my temper very often. However, Saturday morning I had a big hissy fit. I had come home from the vet to a box of tissues strewn all over the living room. Not really a huge deal, but I have been sick all week and stressed out over my cat’s illness, and really was not in the mood to clean up another mess by my dogs. I yelled at them louder than usual, but they just wagged their tails. So I kicked the dryer and then the washing machine to get their attention. Then they cowered and knew I was mad. I would NEVER hit them and did not then, but they were plenty scared of my temper tantrum. Since I was feeling so sick, I crawled back into bed (after cleaning up the mess of tissues every where and letting the dogs out & in). All 4 dogs crawled into bed with me and snuggled in close. I think partially to make sure I wasn’t still mad, and also b/c they knew I needed their comfort. After all, they don’t see me act that way more than 1 or 2 times a year. I snuggled back and told them I was not sorry for yelling, but I did still love them.
I know God understands and even expects us to lose our cool once and a while. The bible says to be angry, but sin not (I don’t have time to look up the passage right now). I was angry alright, but I did sin. I said quite a lot of bad words. I have a problem with my swearing. I wish I didn’t, but, and especially when my frustrations have boiled over, I tend to use every bad word I can think of. For that I had to apologize to God.
I don’t have any point today. Just appreciating God for His forgiveness.
P.S. I now know that my cat, Cosette has Hepatic Lipidosis (fatty liver disease). Depending on how fast and aggressively it is treated, there is a 70% chance she’ll survive. It is very hard though to force feed her twice a day. I read that this could take up to 8 weeks to cure and in most cases a tube is inserted in the stomach to help w/ feeding. I hope it doesn’t come to that. Also, I mentioned last time that the vet bill was hard on me financially. Well, my mom surprised me my calling the vet and putting $100 of the bill on her credit card. I insisted n paying her back, but she said not to. Also, one of the girls at work finally paid me $100 this morning that’s she owed me for buying my treadmill. So thanks to God for paying $200 of the $350+ vet bill!!
