It's been kind of a rough week. TJ has been super busy with work and school so he has not been home much. Verizon launched the iphone and apparently its very coveted. He had to be at work that morning at 5 AM and there were already people standing in line (it's still freezing here)to get their greedy hands on the latest phone. People are crazy!!! Needless to say it's been a LONG week. At the end of a not so great day I told the girls that tomorrow I would practice being nice and not yell and they would practice listening. The next night Tallie said "Mom, I thought you were going to be nice today?? "I'm thankful for Tallie and her brutal honesty and that she puts me in place and reminds me of who I need to be. I really need to work on this. I don't want to be the mean, stressed out mom. I once was a laid back person who was really easy going...how can I get back to her? I'm better than that and my kids deserve more. I'm tired of going to bed at the end of the day with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes because I feel like I'm the worst mom. I have a choice to be who I want to be I just need to remember to choose it.
