WHAT was He thinking???
It seems like I can never manage to do anything right. No matter what I say, what I ask, how I say it or how I ask it, I can never manage to get much more than kids that think I am wanting them to cut off their arm or something!
I am just at a loss right now. :-(
Anything from doing chores, picking up their stuff, doing homework, even taking a shower... it is a constant battle and leads to tears or fussing (from them) and frustration and bewilderment (from me). I feel like most of the time I am grasping at straws or pulling ideas out of the air because I don't know what the heck I am supposed to do or how I should handle things these days. Then, when I do feel like I might have a clue, that backfires too and I am back to confusion and frustration (oh yeah, the tears sometime are there as well). I often pray for wisdom on how to handle things... I try it, I do it and then.... same thing.... crying, arguing or upset kids and a mom who feels lost and clueless.
It won't be long before the teenage years are upon us. Puberty, PMS, etc. How will all of that go over? I feel like the worst mom in existence now, what will it be like then?
Before I was a mom I had all of these lofty ideas of what being a mom would be like. Now here I am smack dab in the middle of it all and I haven't a clue what I am doing half (or most) of the time. These kids deserve so much more.
Like I said.... what has He thinking?

He was thinking that you are the most awesome mom ever!!! I wish I had only a smidge of your patience and kindness!! ((HUGS))
I am slow to read blogs. God was thinking, gosh, no one can come close to dealing with this bunch of kids with needs. Oh, wait, there's my daughter Jori....she's special. She might get frustrated, she might cry, but no one can do this better...no one.
