Parenting is NOT easy!

Boy, today is one of those days that my kids are giving me a run for my money, testing my patience, arguing, and making me go bonkers! Why didn't anyone warn me it was going to be so difficult! I don't remember being such a pill... but my parents might feel otherwise. I love my kids with all my heart and wouldn't trade them for the world but they sure know how to push my buttons. Each stage seems to have new challenges. My mother-in-laws famous quote is "this too shall pass." With each passing comes a new parental challenge. I just pray for the strength and guidance to handle each new stage appropriately. Each parenting book I read can give me great ideas but they don't last or don't work with every situation. I am thankful for new days to start over again. So tomorrow will be better, my patience recharged. Tomorrow is another day!
