Better Days...

I am having better days, and able to handle the drama better. I didn't realize that I can handle the drama, moodies, sass, silent treatments, lying, just like any other issue..."Ok, that's enough, stop it, or here's the consequence." I forget that it's ok to have consequences for all behaviors...sneaky, drama, or right out there in front of you, so thus, I am having better days. Is there still drama, yes at the supper table, yes when I leave, yes when I say no..but I just say stop it!

That's the common thread I have heard over and over these past few weeks, say stop it, discipline for it, and let it go...the latter, the hardest for me!

Katya & I made it to the dentist today! Kids read scripture (amongst other books as well) today. Chris pulled brush and the kids cleaned up. I met with a friend who recently adopted, and I understand her struggles. Jonathan and Andre are still skating this Spring and finding the back of the net multiple times.

Sophia & Natasha are ramping up for their skating show. James is enjoying the outdoors. Jaclyn skates a little now until her camp in June, but she is putting more time musically and reading on her kindle.  Katya will be singing for an upcoming Lacrosse game at the Excel. I'm coming around from the tough winter, thank you for your prayers! And Chris is doing well, working out, planning jobs for our home, taking care of our cars, and keeping the kids in line.

Thanks for all your prayers and good will. Happy Easter, Alesia & Chris
