Tough day for the girls today. After four days home Henry pointed out they were getting a bit spoiled. I have to admit I’ve been a bit of a push-over lately. It’s like I’m indulging the girls in preparation for how topsy-turvy their lives are about to become. So, today was crack down day. Room time for anyone whining or fussing when mommy said no, strict guidance when not obeying. It didn’t take me long into the day to realize I’ve been letting the girls off the hook A LOT lately…it took them half a day to respond to my requests positively. It did make for a hard day all around (i hate cracking down), but hopefully it won’t take too many of these days for the girls to be back to their sweet-lovin’ selves.

Oh, I can so relate to you on this. With Dathan having health problems and then me being sick most of the time too it’s so easy to just let things slide. But I always pay for it, in a bad way, later. Some days it just seems to take more strength than I have to deal with things….then the days that I try to are just that much harder. I pray that the Lord will help you and your girls, expecially in the days ahead. I know it’s so important to be faithful as a parent and it’s an area where I’ll admit to alot of failures and weakness, because of circumstances. But I also know that the Lord could help me so much more than I let Him on this! It’s great that your husband is helping you out like that, but I know it’s still a challenge. Good luck on dealing with things!
