Over silly stuff. I gave specific assignments so there would be no confusion. Each kid fell through and needed my help. I specifically assigned jobs so I wouldn't be needed at all, and even still, my attention was divided three directions. I had intended to direct my attention a fourth way, and couldn't, because there were so many "needs". I think it is attention-seeking behavior, because they aren't getting enough attention. All the rest of the day, it made me want to apologize over and over and over and over and... I was forgiven, but I felt terrible about yelling. I flew off the handle just today. Over silly stuff.

Once upon a time, I had 4 young children under 3 1/2 years old. Life was and even now sometimes is an ongoing state of chaos. However, God is faithful. I can see character and integrity in my children that I rarely find in others their ages. Do your best, and ask God to fill in the gaps and places you fall short. You CANNOT do it all alone. And that's the point. To rely on God, rather than relying on yourself. Mina Hi,
