Tomorrow is a new day

Nights like tonight I wonder why? I know every mom has been here asking herself why was I even given two kids to raise I can't handle them! That was my night for sure! Literally everything for the past 2 to 3 hours anything that could go wrong with them went wrong. Faith kicking Justice in the face, neither of them eating their dinner well, then down from dinner (plates still not near eaten), then jumping off the walls, Justice rips a page out of a brand new library book, Mom loses it, then ice the cake Faith does something to Justice to make her lips start bleeding! Even though it is only 8 o'clock on the dot I say enough is enough and to bed they go! Craziness right! Insanity right! Enough to make you want to pull your hair out right! 

Well this is the stuff we laugh at in the movies but when you are going thru it in real life you say oh my I am out of my mind!!! We had such a blessed day yesterday and the first majority of today was a really good day! It was just tonight that was insane! I am sitting here racking my brain as I write this...is there something I could have done to stop this all from heading into a tale spin? They both were disciplined when it was apparent they were being naughty. A complete and utter tale spin it went completely out of control in a matter of minutes it seemed. Now looking back it was escalating but come on I mean this many events in just one night! Times like this I wish I could say is this really normal!? It can't be....times like this I am ready to hit up a chat forum with mothers just to get some wisdom and advice!  Nights like tonight make me wonder is it me or is it the kids that are really causing all this? Parenting is so tough, you never know when you are right. You just hope you are and pray for the rest! Literally I had to get those girls into bed tonight for my sanity, the health of my baby, and their own safety! I mean before I knew it Justice is bleeding because of whatever happen in their room! Not to mention if this mom had to deal with one more crisis situation I would have lost it!

I have no idea why I am even sharing this post but hopefully it does some good! I know tomorrow is a new day and it will Lord willing be a better day! I sure hope so it is Sunday after all! A day where we are able to go to church and worship God. It would be wonderful if Faith's or Justice's heart was convicted tomorrow over disobedience. I guess that is what I will pray for tonight and that God also would give me some wisdom or encouragement tomorrow! Tomorrow is a new day so tonight I must sleep well and rise to meet my Lord in the morning with a fresh start! Praise the Lord His mercies are renewed each morning!

  2. Oh Chels....there is nothing wrong with you or your mothering. Every mother has those days. Days when we doubt ourselves, when we think there's no way we can handle the responsibility of our children! I still feel that way at times! Keep looking to the Lord for strength and guidance! Love you!
