It is a process which forces us to face our faults and to seek new paths when the opportunity arises. xxDuyvkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660918523479855890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909177134332227865.post-57046889287915724542012-01-27T22:47:00.603+11:002012-01-27T22:47:00.603+11:00Hi Julie. This is the first time I've visited ...Hi Julie. This is the first time I've visited your blog. I can totally empathise with you. I have 6 children who don't get on more than they do at the moment and at times it can be very hard. I had one of those mornings this mornings. P.E kits needed at the last moment, a 5 year old struggling with spelling homework, a 14 year old reluctant to go to school, a 12 year old I barely said a word to, noisy little folk who all needed a bit of me. Day to day at the moment I long for a bit of peace and like you I know the day will come when I will have it and I will miss these moments like crazy. I can feel my heart swell and my eyes fill as I think of it. It is just a hard, wonderful job and although I don't know you, your words really rang with me and I just wanted to say that we all have days, weeks, months when we feel overwhelmed but our children love us anyway. Like one of the previous posters said, you sound like a great mum and all great mums have off days. Hug to you, Sarah, far away in the uk xmumofsixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00715014690375416475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909177134332227865.post-60831762986724393552012-01-17T22:43:27.822+11:002012-01-17T22:43:27.822+11:00Hi Julie, thanks for stopping by and for your thou...Hi Julie, thanks for stopping by and for your thoughtful advice.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650468626267484591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909177134332227865.post-84798720756779455892012-01-17T04:00:27.723+11:002012-01-17T04:00:27.723+11:00My kids have kids of their own and I didn't al...My kids have kids of their own and I didn't always get it right. It sounds like maybe you can hold on to your "night resolve" if while you quietly count to 10 for yourself, recounting 10 reasons you absolutely love your kids, before you actually open your mouth. This is my first time on your blog, so I don't know you, but you have such a sincerity and regret at night. Maybe give my idea a try. Being slow to speak and slow to anger will give you time to do it the way you want to in your nighttime heart of hearts.<br />Love, another JulieOveratJulie'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08396352448297523223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909177134332227865.post-1078825499871274342012-01-16T21:57:13.414+11:002012-01-16T21:57:13.414+11:00Oh thank you Leigh, and happy new year.Oh thank you Leigh, and happy new year.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650468626267484591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909177134332227865.post-8278878100994720002012-01-16T20:32:58.881+11:002012-01-16T20:32:58.881+11:00Well, you know I know what you're talking abou...Well, you know I know what you're talking about.
