So today I was probably way too hard on my children.....Kade had a terrible baseball game.....just watching the strikes roll buy....I told him I wouldn't buy him a corn dog unless he would swing the bat.....Keira wanted to wear clothes that didn't match....I told her people would look at her funny....made her cry and she told me she didn't like me.....I wouldn't have liked me either.......
Then I start blog reading and come across Amy's talking about something she saw on Oprah and The Invisible Children This is seriously sad.....we had a missionary at church who had been in Uganda and he brought photos and videos that he had taken of these children....these precious children...... these children who live daily in fear....these children who daily have nothing.......
So I'm pretty disgusted with me right about now......worried about strike outs and matching clothes....how easy it is to get caught up in the wordly 'junk' and forget how amazingly, wonderfully good I have it!
Off to hug my kids....................

It's hard to be a mom. I try to let the little things in life go. Perhaps just batting practice with Kade will help him and non-matching clothing - well haven't had that problem yet. I know what you mean though about the little things. Just hug your little ones. That is what I do daily! ;) You're doing all right!
I hear you. My DD looked me dead in the eye and said "Mama, you are not being very nice to me."
I said "Touche" but I don't think she got it. ;)
Tommorrow's another day!!
I SO need that reminder to myself lately. I'm so stressed with this upcoming move to an unknown city I just know I haven't been such a great mom. Plus, work stress and argh! It's a wonder I have hair left. Thanks for the reminder, I think I'll go hug my kids, too. :)
Julie, you're a great mom who loves her kids very very much! Cut yourself some slack girl...maybe it's a girl thing?? here lately I've been a TOTAL crab...
