top of their list

i think the thing at the top of my kids' christmas list is for us to get through 1 day without me losing it. not sure i can give that to them. i have the best intentions...but about 6 pm i just can't take it anymore and the next 2 hours are such a struggle...

someone with older kids tell me this will get better...

i am praying that it will get better too eventually! at least you made it to 6pm. :) i had to have a big "discussion" about behavior/arguing/being respectful etc this morning BEFORE breakfast. and i lost it right after lunch! hang in there. :) thinking of you and praying for the peace that only He can bring!!

well, there's also the,
"some of us just suck and don't do nearly a much as you do" thing. does that help?

i can't imagine what i'd be screaming if i were as on top of things as you are. party just left my house, and my dining room was never even cleaned beforehand...nevermind holiday joys around here.

i'm in awe. and like i said last year, "i'm SO doing that stuff next year." (uh-huh. right. you're amazing. i'm sorry it's wringing you out. your kids will love this for years to come, and probably forget the uggy stuff.)

grace and the shalom of Christmas be yours-
