Well, I've had another one of those LOVELY “feel bad” days AGAIN. I don't know if the antibiotics I'm taking for my sinus infection have me feeling all wierd or what. So feeling bad physically evolves into feeling bad emotionally, snapping at my kids and being on overall bear in desperate need of hybernation.
We did manage to get some school work done today however. I'm having such an attitude and behavior problem with my 6 year old right now. He's always been my easy one yet turning six has evolved into a “momma's nightmare”. His attitude just stinks right now and as I pray asking God what might be going on I try to rest in that it may be a stage. Our oldest (a whopping 7 years) has traditionally been the most difficult one but since his salvation he's a jewel to be around.
So please pray for this less than friendly homeschool mom. And be glad you don't live near me lest you get bitten by the grizzly bear I've become.
GRRRRRR……….

Julie-friend,
I can so relate! When it rains, it pours things like pain and disobedience. I will pray for your refreshment in the Lord and that your eyes will be fixed upon His goodness while you are struggling.
Gayle~who has been there, done that more times than I will admit. 🙂
Hi Julie,
I mosied over to say hi since you stopped by. Thanks for your prayers for strength. I need them LOL.
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. I pray tomorrow is better, you feel rested and sinuses clear 🙂 I’ve been a bear today, too. I had a big old temper tantrum in front of my entire family. I just can’t believe I did that! Yelled at them and stomped up the stairs LOL. Well, it’s funny now.
So I’m praying for you Julie. Have a blessed evening 🙂

Oh honey, I know just how you feel! Antibiotics have a weird effect on me as well. Any chance of renting some videos or doing something tomorrow that would give you a break? I will pray for you and for your son. Check out my 6 year olds exploits on my latest entry…it will make you chuckle…or growl light heartedly 🙂
Praying for you, Julie. Twice today I heard my 4 yo say, “Don’t tell me what to do.” Shocked, I am not certain how to answer that. I am mostly shocked as his seemingly growing idea of being an independent person. Oh, how those kiddies can press our buttons. That’s when I ahve to step back and ask God for help. So, you can see I spend a lot of time on my knees. *giggle giggle*
Oh yes I know that grizzly bear mode you mention! : ) And Julie, what’s with 6 year olds anyways? (half kidding, of course) …. my oldest will turn 6 next month and for the last few weeks has become a lot more disagreeable/sensitive about things like never ever before … hmmmm…… Lord, give us strength!! : ) Hope ya feel well soon!! : )
Love ya,
Leslie : )
hmmm…. I wonder if the time change has made your son grumpy???
I have been going thru the same thing, I know my is because it is my time of the month. I have felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin.
I have been trying to keep my eyes on the good of my family instead of the bad, because when I am like this I tend to notice all the bad stuff more. I know a lot of this is me haveing a nasty attitude myself and rubing off on everyone around me.
We can get thru this my friend… stick in prayer and the Word.
I hope that your grumpies go away quickly and that you will have better and blessed days ahead.
Hang in there you aren’t alone. Just keep smiling and know that things will get better.

Can I join the Cranky Bear Club. I qualify. I have no good reason to be cranky other than I could use a Mommy Break. My kids are ALL pushing the arguing limits at the same time. Aren’t they supposed to take turns or something? Carrie
