Epiphany. . . Well More Like An Answer To Prayer!!

This weekend Trent took the girls to Coral Pink without me. We had planned this trip with friends for a while. But, my nasty cold kept me home. I was relieved he wanted to take the girls. And very proud of him that he did. They all did amazing without me, maybe it's my parenting skills.
While he was gone it kind of got me thinking. I have been having such a hard time seeing eye to eye with Evelyn lately...we have really been clashing. And Lyla is almost 4 and in my book, that is one very hard age!! I have been praying on how to become a more patient, loving, understanding mother. Pleading with Heavenly Father to guide me in some direction.
Then it hit me.....my book: "The Power of Positive Parenting". I went and grabbed it from the shelf. I got this book at least a year ago it is bulky and bulky books usually frighten me away. But, I remember when I first got it I had taken so many notes. Cause when I need answers to a question I want a short way to find it. Not read the whole chapter of a book. So I typed up all my notes and also found plenty more to plug in there.
Ok I have been doing completely everything WRONG!! So, I have been studying my notes and really pleading with Heavenly Father to help me stay calm and apply the changes the right way. I know that I affect them way more than I know. So, here is too a fresh new Patient start!!

I was in heaven while my three family members were gone. Well besides the sick thing. I was able to get to many organization projects I have been wanting to get done for months. My mind was clear and I was able to really think about my life and ponder. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Hope you are feeling better. We couldn't make it either, Scott worked until almost 2am. Paisley really missed playing with your girls. Lets plan a trip to Kolob!
