It can be really hard when you have two head-strong people facing off; Paul and I used to butt heads, but then I found his weak point - if I can make him laugh, it dissolves all of the tension. Maybe that would work for you, too. :)<br />And you are AWESOME - don't let the adversary tell you different!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850946918840346599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458292684141292312.post-40873144266487892942011-01-23T17:07:56.307-06:002011-01-23T17:07:56.307-06:00Looking back I think there were two things going o...Looking back I think there were two things going on when I yelled - my own selfishness (it's about me and all the work they are piling on me) and some sense that they were being "bad." And looking back most of the time they were doing what they did for being the good people that they are. <br /><br />Although I still get upset inside when I hear that high pitched laugh that means they're about to go over the edge (now of course it's the grandkids.) It's the strangest thing to yell at kids for laughing!<br /><br />I think you're greatMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817781934474247211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458292684141292312.post-9568895660592023382011-01-23T15:32:48.984-06:002011-01-23T15:32:48.984-06:00Oh girl we ALL have those days.

You are a great Mom and you are beating yourself up WAY too much! Your kids love you and will always love you! All the lord asks is that we try. NOT try our best...as our BEST is never what WE think our best is. He just asks that we try. You are doing a GREAT job and the next time you feel like you aren't know that there are about a million kids out there who would give ANYTHING to have a Mom like you! (faults and all) You're amazing Robin and I love you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
