Life is well life....

    We are so busy here these days. T ball for both boys, looming dance recitals (2 ballet, 1 hip hop), gymnastics (my younger daughter was asked to join team last week and I'm struggling, can we really afford the time it takes? Emily... I want your 2 cents on this one.) 11 year old daughter attitudes UGH. Fellowships, churches, birthday parties, Bible studies, house work, LAUNDRY, cooking, dieting, not dieting, exercise, avoiding exercise (that takes serious time and effort you know), bed time stories, homeschooling, phonics games, all intermingled with desperate prayers and occasional quiet time when my body shuts down from exhaustion, but my mind won't quit racing.

 Making time for blogging has been tough this month, but as I write this I find the process of venting so therapeutic, I'm thinking maybe I should squeeze it in more often.

Apr. 2, 2007 - 11 yr old daughter attitudes

Posted by DStamm

Lurker coming out of lurking...11 yr old daughter attitude can be exhausting in itself. My 12 yr old used to be so sweet and nice and just...my buddy and now she has turned on me. The bad part is I usually don't see it coming and she is very good at making me doubt that her attitude was wrong since she is usually so sweet that I spend even more hours analizing if I was wrong to call her on it. Just remember it is just a season and it will pass. Hope you are able to get some "rest" soon.

I have no idea why my comment came up three times. Sorry!

You'll just have to call me on the whole gymnastics thing. Seriously. We think we've come to the point of saying 'enough'. And she's amazing and talented and all that....it's just TOO MUCH!

I'll lay it all out for ya. But, you couldn't have talked me out of it until about a week ago. God took me through a process.

Call me and I'll share what it was. :)

You might enjoy this article, or at least, give it a nibble in regards to food-for-thought.

God has given us enough time in a 24 hour day to accomplish all that he wants us to do. Ask him what your priorities should be. He is faithful. He will give you the wisdom you need.

I hear you!
Also, I thought I'd add in that one of our youth recently told me that she wishes now that she hadn't invested her childhood into gymnastics. She feels like all of her childhood memories involve being at the gym. - Just a thought. :)
