| So the setting was beautiful, the company wonderful..but we got " maxed out" in the end. It was one of those times that you want everyone to have a lovely time but we ended with frustration and tears on the way home, I couldn't just post lovely pictures and not tell the whole story. It was a great beginning....but Deveraux wanted to go a certain way, I said, "not now" and she didn't like it. I wouldn't budge, she wouldn't budge and it wasn't so much fun anymore. I looked back on that time knowing I could have made different choices and said different things, sometimes I want to just say, "no, you do what I say", sometimes that is okay but I can also be stubborn. Many times there is a way of still being in charge but helping your kids and the situation not escalate. I know where my heart is and I knew that day I was mad because they had "spoiled" this lovely time mom was having and I was just mad. I was operating out of that anger and that wasn't good. Then not only do you have your children's behavior to deal with...but your own. My children expose my heart in both the good and the ugly...as I expose theirs...I am glad we are in it for the long haul! |
