how to cure a grouchy mom

I'm sure my family is always in search of ways to cure a grouchy mother. Tonight, I'm afraid, I was beyond grouchy. Not conducive to a happy family home evening - or any - at that.

But my heart softened when I tucked Abe in for bed and we sang 'I am a Child of God' together. Every time he sings this, it melts my heart and brings tears to my eyes. This is Abe's favorite song ever and he requests it every night. In primary on Sunday he was singing with all his soul in Primary. I can't wait to see him in the Primary Program on Sunday. I hope he belts it out.

This video version from a few weeks ago is priceless... especially:

"I am a Child of God, and so my NERVES are great."

And the accidental burp and 'excuse me' in the last verse is so funny.

So sweet! We love videos that Alana can play over and over again, to remember her special Abe!

I can't imagine you as a grouchy mom. I get really irritable a lot and I don't like it. I LOVE the song. That is very sweet. Thanks for sharing! And I am so glad you are doing the Gratitude thing. . .
