It's nice to know I'm not the only one wanting to totally collapse and run away by 8pm..but I too prayed for a new start this morning. Here's to coffee!!!

Nothing like parenthood to make us realize how absolutely dependent on God we are to be what our kids need us to be. I also think it is OK for kids to see that we are human. My kids, now that they are older, have begun to understand many of the factors that contribute to a mood or moment...and they are less apt to think it's them when it's not. Hang in there mama. Lean hard on the One who can give you strength. Oh Melodie…my ugly mom so gets your ugly mom.
