So much on my mind right now. I feel if I write it out I can move past. This morning started out normal enough until I asked Julia to brush her teeth for school that was going to start shortly. You would have thought I asked her to to do the worst thing in the world. It ended up with lots of screaming and crying for Daddy (Daddy gives in...Mommy doesn't) and me feeling like an out of control lost Mom. What do I do that sets her off so bad and vice versa?!?! She and I have run ins a lot and I am not happy about it. It is not how I pictured being a Mom. Most days are good, some even great but others...OMG it makes me just want to quit. This is a job that for the most part I love but some days want to run out the door. She is so smart and I expect more out of her. I really honestly believe she knows what is right and chooses the other. So, We finally made it out the door to find a nosy neighbor lady in the alley asking Luke if everything was ok?? Are you kidding me? Have you never heard a 4 yr old scream for her way. It really pissed me off that she seems to think there is something going on to be concerned about. Mind your own business lady. Luke and I need to be a united force when it comes to discipline she is walking all over us. I'm over it! And to think that I am driving to Utah in the morning with the kids makes me even more stressed. There is so much going on. I don't even drink but I am thinking I might take it up.
