And things were going so well this year...
Yesterday my third grader was in the depths of despair because she "couldn't" study her spelling words (all 6 of them!) This led into a 2+ hour ordeal of trying to get her to control her emotions and rise up out of the feel sorry for herself pits. Then my three year old (who is still potty-training) pees on the baby's bassinet and then a little later poops in the living room, since we hadn't got any undies on her yet! And while this is going on, my three month old is crying having woken up from her nap! Needless to say, I shed a few tears yesterday. But in the end, my eight year old learned about choosing to utter praise to God when we don't feel like it in order to allow God to lift our spirits. She went up in her room, turned on some music and danced her little heart out. She came down in much better spirits. And the rest of our day went great! My daughter even apologized at dinner for the way she acted. This on her own accord without my encouragement! Yay, we are making headway even though at times we feel we go backwards.
