I’ve come to realize motherhood is all about choosing your battles so you can win the war…or raise your kids right….yeah probably the 2nd one.
Today has been a day of some potential scrimmages and a couple full out guts n’ glory battles.
You want to wear your brothers PJ shirt backwards? Looking good kid.
You want to play Power Rangers with my cooking utensils? Have at it.
You want to poop in the backyard? OH. HECK. NO. SON. Pull up those pants!
Play with sister instead of eating lunch? You’re a great big brother!
You want to come at me swinging fists and screaming cause you didn’t get your way? Back up off me son, those shenanigans won’t fly here.
You want to drive your cars in the horribly filthy gutter water? Just don’t put it in your mouth.
And this was all before 11:30am. I love Everyday with these kids and it’s always an adventure and a constant learning lesson for me. Thank you Lord for providing me the extra strength, patience and love so I can choose my battles and the kids don’t end up tied to a chair.
