I love my kids. I am sure I have mentioned that somewhere in this blog. But, there are those days. Those days when I want to scream ENOUGH! Enough whinning. Enough arguing. Enough complaining. Enough attitude. I Think I have made my point. I wonder why they themselves dont get tired of hearing it.
You would think that I would be glad when one or more of them spend the night at their Grandparents house. However that is not the case. Grace is going to spend the night with her Mammaw and Pap tonight. She will be in complete utopia. She gets anything and everything to eat that her heart desires. She will totally veg in front of the tv with complete control of the remote. Life as she knows it is good.
I on the other hand will be in complete withdrawl. Have I defined myself by my children for so long that I dont know who I am without them? Who am I when I am not being a wife or a mother? What makes me laugh or cry? In the stillness of the night do I recognize my own voice? What am I saying?
Today's Dream
I want to define myself by God's definition of my life. It is He who created me. What is his design for my life? Am I measureing up?
