Today seems to be a day of venting for my children. I was so excited because, the day had started out so very well. There was Bible time and time to read and then get started with the house work. Prayer of course before Jessica left for work.
Somewhere around lunchtime though a bug flew in (the bug is called frustration) and first one daughter called and started venting before she took it out on the ones that she lives with. Then the other daughter came in while I was still talking to the first one and it was obvious that she was frustrated with things that were going on around her today.
So I tried to be a good Mommy and listen closely and then remind them both of the grace that God has given us. If it is me that is being tested, Lord I pray that I passed. If it is them, Lord I lift them up before your throne and pray that you would hold them close. Give them the peace that comes from you alone.
The week has been long and I'll post more about that later.
On a side note, I learned a valuable lesson this week. Don't take your eyes off of a three year old when she is playing with your Kindle. Otherwise you might be buying things that you hadn't planned on. No harm done though because Amazon is really understanding and took the $3 off of my bill. So now I have learned how to password protect purchases. YaY! \o/
Any way, that's been my day. I'm getting my house cleaned up, but I'd rather be sewing today. Hmmm wonder where I can stash some of this stuff? Guess I'd better put it all away where it belongs. Next week we will be starting our summer school, so I'll have to have things organized.
My Aimee will be a Sr. next year and I've got to make sure that she has everything that she needs for graduation. I think that I will miss teaching my children. Well...on second thought, I don't think that I've stopped yet. Maybe just the academics. Thank you God for my special blessings.
Blessings to All ~S~
