A No Good, Awful Day

Yesterday was terrible.

The worst the girls have ever been.

Did not listen.  Fought like crazy.  And were out of control by the end of the night.

It was so bad that I was reduced to tears.

The first time my girls have ever made me cry out of frustration.

And anger.

And sadness.

Why do they listen to their father so much better than they listen to me?!

Why do I have to scream for them to finally listen & obey?!

Last night I felt like a failure.

A big fat failure as a mother.

I pride myself on being good at a lot of things.

But yesterday, being a good mom was not one of them.

I pray, with all of my heart, that today is a much better day.

A day of listening, and smiling, and laughing.

A day where there is no yelling, screaming, or crying.

I pray that today is a good day.

No, a GREAT day.
