~Ok, so this morning started out a little rough. We had hitting,spitting,fighting & discipline all before 9:00a & that's including pulling the van over on the way to school. LOL! But, I gave this day to the Lord & asked that He please help the kids to understand the importance of being kind to one another & obeying mommy.
~I wonder when they will get it? Did I "get it" when I was little or was it only as I grew much older. I don't really remember much of my childhood~wonder why? My sister & I got into some doozy's when we were little & sometimes have disagreements now as adults, but thankfully we have can look back & laugh our heads off at the things we used to do to one another & as adults work through them to make sure that we maintain a close relationship. It's hard having kids so close in age to one another & sometimes I think...wwwhhhhhyyyyy did we decide to do that, but I'm reminded that kids are going to be kids & have disagreements with one another & it's my job as the mom to help them try & work these moments out, so that they in turn can maintain a close relationship with one another as they grow older. I know I can't make them be close but I can do my part in trying to heal the hurts towards one another & show them the love they should have with each other through the relationships with my siblings. And as far as my question about why we decided to have them so close in age, the answer is because we wanted them to hopefully always be close even as adults when the actual relationship part seems to be more important. Does that make sense? It only comes with maturity.
~It's almost time to pick the kids up from school & I will be praying that God will help the rest of the day go more smoothly than the morning did. Or at least ask Him to help me, the referee, be fair & use certain "moments" as teaching moments.
