Its Monday...little man has field day today. I'm psyched about it. I've got a bit of BlackBerry thumb going on...I can't get my laptop back fast enough.
I finished the album for the little man's teacher last night. It came out nice except im never received a picture and letter from 3 kids in the class. Mind you, I started asking for this in March. I couldn't wait anymore the last day of school is Thursday so it was time.
I feel sorry for the kids because they are the ones who suffer. I admit that I am not a perfect parent (ask the big man he'll tell you)but I really do try. I did forget unhealthy day last week (my defense I was sick). I try really hard. I admit that there is a lot of frustration going on in my head. Little man doesn't always listen & it drives me batty. I am so tired of repeating myself over and over.
I know that goes with the territory. But there's another layer to it. There's a bit of subversion to it. I swear there are days when it seems as if the rest of my family wants to undermine me. Like when I plan a weeks worth of menus & they get rejected. Or its the laundry that stays in the basket despite me repeatedly asking for it to be put away (a 7 year old is totally capable of doing it). I get frustrated that it just seems like I am responsible for every thing in our lives and that's a heavy burden some days.
Basically I try to have the little man take on some responsibility but nothing sticks. Its hit or miss regularly. He wavers back & forth on things.
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
