Not sure what to even write about...other than to say Friday was horrible due to a tirade after I confronted somone on their behavior. She struggles with gossip, then turns it all around and says someone else is saying it, all the while, acting rudely, mopey and unkind. When we finally get to the bottom of it, she started the whole thing. This has happened other times, and when she has been confronted on an issue, she has first denied it, then shifted blame, and then moved into a whole hearted, loud, screaming tirade about what horrible mother I am, that I don't love her, that she is not my child, that I am not a Christrian, and about 10 minutes of telling me how bad I am, and then, a quick I'm sorry and all they really need is my love, true that she needs my love, and probably a learned mechanism from such a horrible life, and I should have compassion....and usually this is a sting that only lasts a couple of days, and then is gone....
But for some reason, this time, it just feels like there was a little nerve damage....anyway, a couple of children spent time at a friend's farm, which was probably a reward for them, but I guess we need to do what we need to do....
I had 24 hours with a couple girls, my brother and 2 of his children. We had some nice talks, and laughes in the car and put together the dock. I did have trouble sleeping, but am trying the special breathing technique my niece told me about! The best part was 24 hours with no drama! The girls had fun with their cousins, uncle & grandma.
Jonathan and the boys got home today from fishing, and he was put in charge of the 2 little ones. I did get a phone call from a couple of upset boys, but they worked it out...with the help of "The Black Stallion" on CD rom! I'm going to look up the legal limit for a 10 year old to babysit, and bet we pushed a little close.
I didn't return home til, late, and Chris is still out. Tomorrow we have 4 ice times amongst children, and 1 piano contest. We'll all have to gather around the computer and hear our pastor's talk on sex tomorrow afternoon. The boys might want to finish "The Black Stallion"!
I'm really not doing that well...each moment is a chance for me to think twice about a few things and what is the best way to handle them. His Word is lamp unto my feet, even if it means one step at a time.
Love from Alesia & Chris
