I am... the mother with the 2-year-old screaming for 10+ minutes in the grocery store. He wants to walk. I know it's not safe or wise. Costco is a dangerous place for short tots.
I am... so patient. But no matter how much patience I have, it seems that sometimes it's not enough.
I am... trying to parent well. Doesn't it seem harder to do what is right long term than give in to what is easy at the moment with discipline stuff.
I am... good at keeping my tears inside until I get in the car. For today at least.
I am... learning. And I am trying to teach my kids so they will learn that they will be happier and more blessed if they obey. And I'm trying to teach them to obey out of love. I am... still learning this too.
I am ... finally home. I put 3 boys in quiet time, cried it out on the phone to Jimmy, sunk into my computer chair for some distraction... and I saw this first thing...
So I won't give up on trying to be a good person ... for "hope whispers: try one more time."

I had one of those days today! Just at Target, not Costco. :) Thank you for posting that quote. I needed it.
I love reading your blog. You inspire me to try each day to be better.
Hang in there!
Great quote! Thanks for sharing! And you are SO not alone. We all have those days. And believe me, you are doing a good job. I need to be more like you. I admire so much the things you do with your family, and need to institute more of them in my family! Hang in there! The Lord is aware of you, and he knows what you can handle, and what will make you stronger. And we are here for you to lean on when you need it!
We all need hope and will keep trying. Thanks, Heath for the boost. You are a sweet mother. It is not easy, and you are doing great!
