I'm having one of those "mom's in need of mercy" weeks--you know, the ones where you feel like you're doing just about everything wrong when it comes to your kids.Too much nagging, too much scolding, too little laughter, too few smiles.I'm trying to see myself as they see me, and I wonder: do they feel like I'm justВ one grouchy mother?I don't intend for the days to be like this.After a ratherВ rough start to an "official"В homeschooling day (which ended up being just a phonics and handwriting lesson) thatВ did not come anywhere close to being the happy, fun, excited time of learning and togetherness I envisioned, I read this post by Elizabeth Foss.It said exactly what I felt.
Even if you don't homeschool, I encourage you to read it.It encourages all mothers with children at home.
May you be blessed as I was.
