...do I need to tuck the kids in at night before they go to bed?
...do I need to ask Colden not to push Dylan until he actually obeys?
...do I clean up the same toys every day?
...do I change dirty diapers in a week?
...do I hold my tongue in frustration?
...do I just let my frustrations out (non-violently, of course)?
...do I pray for strength just to make it through the day?
...do I smile when one of my kids smiles at me?
...do I laugh when they do something silly?
...do I feel so good when my kids learn/remember something I taught them?
...do I thank God for being a Mom?
To those of you who read this blog: feel free to comment by adding your frustrations/joys of parenthood. :)
PS--I guess I don't need to say that I've had "one of those days." My hopes for peace and rejuvenation around 8pm (bedtime) were shattered. I "put" Dylan to bed tonight around 7:30, and Colden "went" to bed at 8:15. It's now 9:09, and I think they're finally asleep. I hope.

How many times do I have to tell them not to scream? Especially at the dinner table!

-How many times do I feel so tired at 6am when I've had just a few hours sleep at a time and Max is up & ready to be awake?
