Apr. 2, 2006 - Lightbulb Moment
Ever have one of those days when nothing is going right then all of a sudden something happens and the entire day has gotten itself into perspective????
Sitting here ready to pull my hair out with Dylan..he had a day that no matter what I said he did the opposite..if I said sit, he would stand..you get the jist..well I was watching the Super Nanny marathon today (btw, I love that lady!!!) and it hit me like a ton of bricks...one of the major problems in my house is that I lost myself in trying to fulfill all my roles of the house...being a mother, wife and daughter in law (my ill MIL lives with us and I am her primary caregiver)..so when losing myself I lost the joy in the roles I play...sad huh? But it made perfect sense to me!!! Of course little things get to me when I am just not happy....
So now I have to fix that...I know it won't happen over night...and I know I have to lean on God to do it as I am not strong enough to do it alone...
I did make a little head way today..I sat all the kids down today while Dad was at work and laid down the law...in my opinion they watch too much TV..that is now gone...and the best part of the story is when I shut the TV off, they got bored and reached for books off the shelf (remember we homeschool) and started talking sign language to each other..so turning the TV off worked this time!!!
Until next time..
