Calm...Calm...Calm...

So, "How is it going?", you might ask. Well, not as well as I'd hoped!  It's become clear to me that I am not as good at this wife and mommy thing as I might have thought.  What happened to the days when mommy was more of an authority on things and that was accepted?!

Some days are fantastic-my words reach the right ears and the proper action takes place, and others, I wonder why the things that I say that normally work seem to just dissipate into the air.

This brings about many struggles, but my biggest one is practicing the best reaction.  There seem to be 3 reaction choices...calm...calm...calm...; flip out....; or calm....frustration....flip out.   My goal, of course, is calm...calm...calm...  However, I have not mastered that one.  That is my prayer for now.  I know I need to "Be still and know" that God is God and stop trying to do it on my own.
