James is in trouble....again!

James was doing something not so nice the other day. Not unusual lately for him to be disobedient. The what doesn't matter so much as my reaction. I was so very mad...I took his head in both my hand forcing him to look at me and said "James, please use your brain. God gave you a good one and it would be a shame to see it wasted." I went upstairs to cool down before I did anything more stupid. Loreli barreled into me and hugged me and said "I use my brain mom, I love you." Guess if I am going to yell, I should do it quieter. They have such an awesome way of making me feel like such a bad mom. Oh well, live, love and learn, right?

I think you handled it very well. Your children know you meant business, and you put yourself on timeout when it was needed. Congratulations.

you're an awesome mom, sara.. James is lucky to have you. kids are just hard sometimes. I am so guilty of losing my temper, and sometimes it's over things that don't warrant yelling at all. I love Loreli's reaction. What a cutie. miss you so!j
