Not a Good Day

January 9, 2010

Part of it is my fault. I lingered too long in the warm comfy bed. Then we had rush out of the house. My children don't do rushed very well.

Well, actually, I think it's all my fault. My children are acting like children. Bickering. Over every little thing. It's been this way since Ben left. I've let it bother me quite a bit today.

Ballet was a chore for me. The children were not in the best of moods. But, I'm sitting here wondering if it isn't because of me. Maybe I need to set the tone so they'd feel better. Maybe I need to let the littlest one sit in my lap no matter how uncomfortable she makes it. Maybe then she'd feel better. You know, fill her love tank.

One of the biggest things I ever learned from Father Corapi is that love is sacrifice. It sure is hard, this constant dying to self…

I’m sorry you had a bad day. How about a few prayers thrown your way? Wish I was close enough to help in a more tangible way. Missy you. Karen +AMDG+

Just keep taking it one day at a time. Take what lessons you can to the next day and start fresh! And know that some days, just getting to the end of it is enough.
Prayers heading your way for a better day tomorrow!

Praying for you KC. Try not to be too hard on yourself –you’re doing the job of two parents right now and that’s tough.
But you’re right –dying to self is hard and love is sacrifice. I am struggling right there with you.
God bless!

KC I will remember you in Mass today. Sending prayers your way. You are a good mother and our job gets really tough when dad’s away. Just keep taking things one moment at a time if you have to…I know sometimes that’s the only way I get through the day. God bless you many hugs and prayers coming your way.

KC, sending a hug your way and prayers that you find that moment to catch your breath. You are all missing Dad and want it to be over, easier, different, the same — all at the same time.
