Tough Day

Sometimes, I really don't like to be a mom. Isn't that awful to say? Today, is one of those days. One of my kids dumped a ton of fish food in the tank. We have to empty the tank, clean it, recondition the water, and put the fish back. I just did this Sunday!!!

One of my kids is yelling and bossing everybody. What is up with that? Bossiness is not tolerated in this house, but nothing seems to be deterring it. It's just one of those days, and I want to crawl in a hole, or at least take a nice bubblebath (with ear plugs)!

Parenting, godly-raise-up-a-child parenting, is NOT easy. It's not always fun. It can be tedious, frustrating, and draining. These kinds of days, I'm just thankful that God is there to listen as I whine. I'm thankful that He provides friends to encourage. And, that he designed parenting to be a two-adult process! While it's not quiet here, and the bossy one hasn't stopped, at least I'm not the one dealing with it right now! Good luck, honey!

Then at bedtime, I get hugs and kisses. Life always turns out good. Just have to hang in there, sometimes!
