Today has been a bad day here as well. No one got much sleep last night (storms and sickness) and we are all feeling it. I continually ask God to fill my cup full of patience (and many of the other spiritual gifts as well), because I surely don’t have enough on my own and seem to run out many days. Hang in there, though. You are not alone. And, though it is easier to remember the bad moments of mommyhood, know that there many more good moments. You are an excellent mom.

It seems that just as I wonder where Sweet Pea gets her penchant for tantrums, I throw one of my own. Mine are always bigger, louder, and more offensive than hers. Anyway, we are a work in progress and I am glad we are able to laugh, even if it is sometimes through the tears.

Thanks for the reminder. Thanks for joining me in the journey as always ladies!

It…was…so…hard…not…to. I didn’t but man it was hard. Thank you, God, for keeping my mouth shut and keeping that out of his vocabulary and mind. But man, it was still the overflow of my heart.

I’ve had a few tantrums since moving and am glad to hear that I am not alone. I agree with Andrea and Heather that tomorrow is a new day and with His help, we have a new beginning. Here’s praying that He will help them not turn into tantruming adults like us. Love ya!
