Ultimatum Delivered
|
Well, it was one of those meltdown kinda days the other day..was that yesterday or the day before? Well, since today's Tuesday, I guess it was yesterday. I decide once and for all to deliver (yet another) ultimatum. Ds, I wrote, if you are going to continue to complain, procrastinate, and generally make things miserable for yourself and me, we will have to look at just completing ACE workpacs. Then you're on your own, I don't have to spend so much time putting together something interesting for you, and when you're done, you know you're done. I give you till Friday, and if your work is not completed, well, I'll put in my order. Well, the only response I got was "What difference is it going to make if I do ACE?". I didn't answer. Truth be told, no one really can make him learn if he doesn't want to. Anyway, today things went much better. He applied himself, complained little, and did decent work on top of it! It just shows me he CAN do what I ask, and it's NOT too much! And it showed me the power of prayer. I woke at 3 a.m., my mind a flurry of worries for the next day. Wrong thing to do, but that's how I woke up. So, as is the case when I wake up at 3 a.m., I pray and attempt to give my stresses to God. In everything, with prayer and petition, and thanksgiving, make my requests known to God. And the God of PEACE, which passes all understanding, will guard my heart AND mind in Christ Jesus. Well, I don't know if I felt peace. I did fall back to sleep after a couple of hours, and I did wake up a bit nervous for the day - my other ds had a driving test, and my dd had an english exam to write. But we survived! My ds passed, and my dd thinks she did okay. I hope she did better than okay! |
