I'm still too scared to let Boyd do that, I need to let loose though. Thinking of you. I can only imagine how rough this is on you. I am right there with you, panic sets in, and I get so emotional. Add money issues, I've been there, and it puts me on the edge. Then everything else seems to get out of whack, including me and Kevin. I love that the lady saved the day at CFA. I think God places those strangers in our lives for a reason. I was in the checkout once at Sam's and 2 ladies in front of me were taking forever, arguing with the cashier, it was a mess. When it was finally mine and Boyd's turn to checkout, a lady who had been watching us in the eating area came up to me and rubbed my back and told me how good of an example I was and I was teaching my child patience {although I think in my head I was not being so nice}. I was embarrassed that she had seen me without me knowing, but it made my day. <br /><br />Hugs to you. You are a precious child of God. You are doing things right!<br />xoNicollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144472105892524890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-61573270486474001202013-02-21T10:11:39.889-08:002013-02-21T10:11:39.889-08:00I am so sorry for the week you had.

A few weeks back Juliana was so sick then the rest of us got sick while my husband was having fun in Vegas...yes I was MAD at him. I too divorce my husband many times a week. :) <br />I just love reading your posts because you are so honest and it makes me realized that I am not the only one going though the samething or feeling the same way!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104100135764091440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-58058915070533004682013-02-21T07:30:50.336-08:002013-02-21T07:30:50.336-08:00You're so sweet, Holly! I often wonder as Levi...You're so sweet, Holly! I often wonder as Levi is screaming at the top of his lungs, shouting NO to everything I say to him, and hitting at me, if he is happy, If I'm a bad mother, if he dislikes me. Child #2 is DEFINITELY a struggle. I don't remember Cori ever acting like him. I get frustrated and divorce my husband sometimes too. Thank you for being so honest here - it lets us know we aren't alone and we are more alike everyone else. Sometimes I avoid public with Levi b/c of the fits he randomly throws. Your words make me know I'm not alone, and maybe this is all normal. I need a weekend away from husband and kids....lets plan something fun!!
