Oh, so many things did NOT happen here lately…
Jadon didn’t pull a tuff of hair off his cute curly top, causing me to have to cut it all off again.
Zach didn’t come out of basketball practice in 16 degree weather (not counting the windchill) without his shirt on! NOPE!
James didn’t get his ear pierced. (grrrrrr)
Leah isn’t turning 13 this weekend.
I will not become the mother of 3 teenagers. Not me.
Lucas did not get our out of town guests lost coming home from Walmart. Nope. Lucas knows where he lives, he’s 11.
I was not arguing with my oldest child by text today while he was in school. Nope.
I don’t despise arguing by text.
I didn’t forget that I had groceries in my van after I got home because I was so upset by our argument.
I didn’t remember my groceries & as I was putting them away wasn’t surprised by some of the things I didn’t even remember buying. Nope!
James didn’t come to me tonight with a hug and an apology for the argument we had today…
Parenting never feels like it will swallow me up.
The keys of my lap top are not sticky. Nope. None of my children would get my laptop sticky.
None of these things happened here. No way.

Love ya Pam! Hang in there. While parenting can be tremendously difficult ... the rewards are overwhelmingly beautiful when our children grow up to love and serve the Lord. Keep focusing on that part of parenting ... and do your best to let some of the other "stuff" go. Easier said than done ... I know. But, I also know the rewards.
Hugs!

You're so funny Pam! At least it wasn't a tatoo with MOM on it!
Zoe doesn't pull her hair out either (ha), but she's a little girl and I have yet to find a way to keep it from happening :( So, she sports her little short fro. I am so used to seeing her hair that way now, I can't imagine when it does ever grow out!!
And my kids dont break everything, my teenagers would never have friends over and punch two holes through the drywall in the den, just to see if they could.....nope, not here.
And certainly, Cassidy didn't let all the baby bunnies out of the cage (5 of them) without anyone knowing so they her hoping every which way too fast to catch before the 3 great danes noticed! Must have been a comical site, all of us chasing these little bunnies while trying to keep the dogs from eating them..... zero casualties, I am proud to report.
none of that happened here this week either, honest :)
