AHHHHHH!!!

Summer time is here and I must find things to do. Things that will occupy my children's day.Pressure to make sure this is a GREAT SUMMER. I take deep breath's frequently hoping that I can some how exhale all the frustrations that I now have pent up inside of my head and heart. I can feel the throbbing in my temples from the constant repeating of DON'T HIT YOUR SISTER. To the WOULD YOU PLEASE STAY STILL. I am realizing and learning that I have choices to make.Choices that will define how I react to my day in a different way. I have always tried to teach my children that life is about making choices. But I do not believe that I was being a good example of that today. Today I made choices and reacted in ways that might I been less then useful. I realized that I to needed to take full responsibility for the choice I made on how I reacted to the situation of two children under the age of 6. That are fighting, arguing, and just plain nonsense. I have more than enough excuses for why my attitude today was lets say unreasonable. But I also knew that I could not be a hypocrite and let my current circumstances get me a go free pass. Yes today, I realized that I needed to step up my game and make a better choice one that was useful choice one of great importance today . I forgave myself instead of pitying myself today I took full responsibility for my actions. Realizing that I don't need it to be a great summer. But a summer full of love, and lessons in the simple things of life appreciating what is right in front of you and not what could be. Jesus I pray for wisdom in being a good example of self control and positive reactions. Amen
