At first, I was gonna write, "Blah, Blah, Blah" and that's all. But then, "I don't care anymore", by Phil Collins and "I want somebody" by Heavy D...those songs were in my head.
Huh! I am
slightly frustrated right now: Trying to put the girls down for bed has been a real challenge. And today my oldest daughter threw a big tantrum...I am kaput! Even now, while I am writing, she is waking up & fussing--but it is 11:15P! I am really wanting to have more structure time wise, with nap times back on track, etc; I really want my husband & I to be on the same page with the discipline thing too. Since I am mostly with the girls, a lot falls on me. Huh! This is a lot of work & people who don't have kids don't seem to understand. I appreciate relatability and understanding from those who have been there. (She went back to sleep). I love my daughters so much and want the best for them. That is my prayer, just for them to grow up to have obedient & loving hearts...I know they won't be perfect, but as long as they revere/honor/love God and obey their parents, I know it will go well for them. I understand more of God's nature as a parent now, because when I ask my oldest daughter to do something & she doesn't want to do it, my heart is pained because I am instructing her for her own good & when she chooses to turn the other way...man! Like today, she went outside without shoes on & I was calling her in so I can put on her shoes & she wouldn't even follow that...everything I ask her to do is for her own benefit; never would I ask her to do something that would harm her in anyway. God is the same.
