hi...I just screamed at my kids...I hate it when I do this! But I am sad to say it happens sometimes. There is no excuse it is wrong. But I am going to tell you about my morning...Juliette decided to wake up at 5:30am. I am ok with 630 but I do not like 530. It just isn't fair! So anyway so that Jovan and Dante could continue to sleep I shut her door and tried to sleep somemore while she did whatever she was doing. This is just a really annoying way to start the day!!! ALL AGREED!!

So then I finally got up at 7ish made my family breakfast. Went to the store real quick to pick up a few things. Came home and realized that there was spilt juice on the floor that I hadn't noticed before so ANTS everywhere. . .FUNTIMES---today is laundry day so that is what I was doing all morning...while the kids play and make messes:) Gave the kids and my brother and me an early lunch and figured Juliette would nap early today(usually naps 1-3) so at noon I tried to get her down. I really just needed to have a moment to be still with the Lord.(not possible when she is awake). I laid down with her hoping she would sleep and NOPE--she wants to play...So since I am having a couple friends over tonight. I figured I would make them both nap(jov doesn't nap these days) and so at 1pm we all laid down in the big bed together and it was one thing after another I want water, i want to watch tv, I want my blue hot wheel, I want a snack, at 130 I had had IT!!! I SCREAMED "I NEED A BREAK, GO TO SLEEP, I NEED A BREAK!!!"

My throat actually hurts now. Isn't that something to be proud of...


SORRY LORD, I should not treat my children this way. They are yours and I should be a better mom. Teach me Lord patience...teach me Lord to act as an adult in these moments and not as a psycho... more of you and less of me. . . I know you forgive me but I need to forgive myself. . .I am gonna go listen to some worship music and hopefully I will feel better!

  1. Wow, you are honest. Naps are precious gems. Sometimes I wonder why God gave us women cramps, saggy boobs after kids, the list goes on . . . then I remember he did give us a special gift: NAPS for our kids. It is amazing how much we need that break during the day and if we sense it isn't happening or long enough, we freak out! Oh yes, I've been there. :)
