It’s after 9pm… Son3 is still doing homework… He started at 3pm… We did take an hour break for dinner… He had regular homework to do and missing work to do… He has not gotten to the missing work yet… He was supposed to make a crossword puzzle with his vocabulary words… He made a word search… So hubby has been helping him all evening make a crossword puzzle… He had already finished his other homework due tomorrow…
They are having state testing this week… When son1 and son2 had state testing, their teachers did not give homework during that week so they could get rest and be to school on time…
I have yelled… Hubby has yelled…
Son2 also has homework for college tomorrow… He is not doing it… He also got yelled at for not being a good roll model for his younger brother… I know school is easier for son2 and yet I remember a time all the way through fifth grade where he had trouble in school and got yelled at too…
I had a quiet day at work… Came home hoping to get a couple of things done… I even brought home work to do at home, but I didn’t get to my homework because of son3’s homework… I have a very bad attitude toward school and it is not helping son3 have a good attitude about school… And yet he keeps going every day and trying…
We are looking forward to middle school and hoping for a better time…
Son1 and son2 barely had homework in middle school and high school… And yet I expect son3 to have homework… He is doing middle school work now… He is doing stuff I didn’t do until high school…
One more month and he is on summer break… but that is not a good attitude to have… He needs to study and do good in school…
I always have thoughts of coming home and doing my blog entry, making a nice dinner, going for a walk, working on a project or two, spending time with my loving family…
And yet I walk into chaos…
I know I’m the mom and it’s my job…
I’ll be glad when some of these men around here get a job…
And I’m not liking this menopause if it means I’m going to get fat again…
I know I’m not eating well, but I’m not eating any more then I was before when I was in shoes… Is working in hardware making me fat…
Son3 is done and we are finding out that he was supposed to do a word search and a crossword puzzle… so the word search was not a waste of time…
Son3 is off to shower…
Son2 is hanging out in my bed…
I’m off to play games on my phone and go to sleep…
Back to work again tomorrow…

Don't put a "Do not disturb" sign on your life. God wants us to be open to His plan for our lives—what He wants us to do.
Along with our strengths, we also have weaknesses. Let Christ be strong in your weaknesses; let Him be your strength today!
You can't use your past as an excuse to stay that way. Take responsibility for your behavior today.
Every time we die to self, we get a little bit more free and we glorify God more in our lives! (Luke 9:23)
Don't panic—it's only a test. God is with you in both the storms and the peace. (Rom. 8:28)
Today, Linda, we believe God wants you to know that ...
if you cannot accept failing, you cannot succeed.
Nothing truly meaningful is achieved on the first attempt, and if that's where you stop, then failure is all you will have.

Being a mom is not an easy job for sure. Just remember this too will pass. I look back to those days now and fondly remember them. I know I probably didn't at the time. Hang in there ! Hope your Thursday is a great one!
