They promised me next Sunday they'd dress like twins.
Sunday's can be rough on me and my 4 girls. One girl is having hormonal anger and fashion issues and the other told me everything I say is annoying and she wants a new mom. (while shooting me the meanest look)
Sometimes my children's rudeness doesn't get to me. Today it hurt. A lot.
I made a divine Sunday dinner. I totally reminded myself of my wonderful mother who always make divine dinners and has since I was little.
I love it when I remind myself of my mother. Nate loves to cook, so often, when we don't go to grandparents house on Sunday he cooks. This Sunday I wanted to. I told him to take a nap. He did happily. I cooked. I listened to Boyd K Packer on the radio. My kids took a walk and played. I was alone. I love being alone. You know the scripture "Be still and know that I am God" ? Well it's true.
Have a great day. Hopefully next post I'll have time to sing you a song. My husband and I got the good video camera all hooked up with our computer. It will be nice to have my body match the sound.
I remember divine sunday dinners when I lived with my mom -- I can't smell roast, or homemade bread without thinking about it! You are a great mom and you are beautiful inside and out ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad someone else has a hormonal daughter at their house. I can usually handle the rude comments that come from my kids or I really should say the rude comments Hannah makes, since she is the one usually making them. When we were in California we were at a store that wasn't super kid friendly and everyone was giving us the evil eye for our five kids running around. When I took the kids out to the car I told them that they were so embarrassing. Hannah quickly responds in her snotty voice, "mom, your embarrassing". I had to close the car door and stand outside so I wouldn't freak out on her. When John got home from work he talked with each of them about how they need to respect their mom. Kids, gotta love them, right?
