Parenting can be such a challange because it can come from such an emotional and sometimes irrational place. To consistantly remember spiritual principals while in the midst of teen drama or pre-teen hissy fits is quite a feat!The one thing my children know is that they are loved and perfect. Yes, perfect. Definition: They have a perfect soul but not necessarily the perfect actions that should belong to that soul. Those are the things we work on.

No More Wake Up Calls
One of the kids stocking stuffers this year was an alarm clock. Since today was the first day back to school I decided that it was the perfect time to use their new gift. I helped them set their clocks last night. Basically they set them and then I checked to be sure that the were correct...especially the "am" and "pm" settings. I told them that they were on their own this morning and I was sleeping in. I woke up, heard their foot steps upstairs and slept an extra 15 minutes. They did a GREAT job! Both up and out on time. Day one was a success!
