struggling
I am having a hard time sleeping lately. It is so uncomfortable to have 9 bowling balls hanging off the front of me. Seriously. Also, the little guy is reverting back to old behaviors. It affects my sleeping and it is hard.
Today I was lifted up by this quote by President Hinckley, “Never forget that these little ones are sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship with them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interests in these His little ones. …Rear your children in love, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Take care of your little ones. Welcome them into your homes, and nurture and love them will all of your hearts. They may do, in the years that come, some things you would not want them to do, but be patient, be patient. You have not failed as long as you have tried.”
And I was lifted by this post by NieNie, Who’s love and graciousness is inspiring.

I love that quote, especially the, “you have not failed as long as you have tried.” It seems like I start each day with a prayer for help and I end each day in a plea for forgiveness. Somehow these kids survive! I know for a fact you are a wonderful mother. Hang in there. The final homestretch is here!!!
