I have a few mom problems lately. I figure I will confess on here. Maybe it will help me. haha. My oh, so amazing husband is gone this week... so maybe that's what's put me over the edge... but I feel like I have been a little more on edge the last month or so... my kids are at these stages that I just don't feel like I can get to all of them effectively.
So here's my problems and what I am working on.
I am impatient and sometimes just want my kids to "fall in line" rather than taking the time to STOP what I am doing and help them or teach them. The point is not to dictate them but to shepherd them. COME ON AUTUMN, you know this! I forget that THEY are always the main priority NOT 99% of the other things I am doing.
I procrastinate and then try to rush and do things. This worked well most of my life... but I keep forgetting that I have 3 little kids who need me to help them with most everything. then we all get stressed. not cool.
so, here we go. I am praying this.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, The courage to change The things that I can , and The Wisdom to know The Difference.
and while I am at it... this:
God grant me Serenity to accept and appreciate each child's uniqueness.
Courage to guide them to become the best they can be, and Wisdom to let You lead the way.

Thanks for that little dose of conviction to start my day. Ugh.
(Being overtired from traveling last week, combined with PMS doesn't help me haha.)
