Well, last week Cliff was out of town for work down in Texas for a couple of days and I think I did alright until the night time would come. By then, my fuse was very short and the bomb ready to explode any minute. I was just plain tired and tired of telling the kids what to do a million times over. Well, as I knelt down to pray I felt finally calm and the day was over. I felt bad for getting so mad at the children before putting them down to bed. But, then as I said my prayer a thought came to me....perhaps the spirit....reminding me that the Lord tells us how many times over to do stuff and He never gets mad. He never spanks us hard or grabs us by the arms forcing us to stand up and brush our teeth after the millionth time He has told us to, the Lord just continues on to be patient with us. Once again, another reminder for a reminder. How many times do we need to learn lessons in life before we actually get it? Me, myself....I guess over and over.

wow....thanks for that one... I needed to hear that. The last 2 weeks I've felt borderline out of control in regards to my temper with the kids. I feel like NO ONE is listening... and I have to repeat a million times...which eventually ends in me yelling at someone. I have gone to bed disappointed in myself so many nights... telling my husband "I NEED A BREAK! I need a moment of silence...a moment away from them." A break would be nice... but what I NEED is to remember what you wrote. THANKS!
Dido...I loved this post. I am there so often. Even breaks don't help me, though. I seem to fall right back into impatience the day after I get back. It's me that needs to change, not so much my kids. I mean, they'll learn too, just in their time and not mine.
