Leah,

I have found myself having to apologize to my kids at times like this...I usually just tell them the truth. "So&so, I'm not feeling well, and I'm afraid that I have been taking it out on you. Can you find it in your heart to please forgive me?" If they ask any questions, answer the question without TMI..."Well, I'm just feeling really down tonight".

It really works wonders...both ways.
