Well I realized today that my kids may be the way they are because I have no will power to simply say NO! For some reason when their dad, my husband, tells them no or how it's going to be and they start to cry I want to give in. I want to make them happy or at least make them stop crying. I don't know why that is but I was hit with it today.
I certainly don't want Supper Nanny to come to my home BUT I need a change so that things run smoother and the kids have more respect for me, for us. I know I overcompensate because I grew up in a hard home but I don't know that is the only reason for me giving into them. I feel that God is pulling at my heart to change some things in my home and to be the mother that he has called me to be. Slow change is good but I want God to radically change things in my home. I want the peace that comes to a home that is centered around God.
My kids are Awesome and they are very good outside of the home so I know this can be done, it will be done with the help of God!

Friends or not?
Out of all of the things that were going through my mind that I wanted to write about one thing kept sticking in the front of them all. How do you know that your friend is truly your friend or if they are just using you for something? How do you know if their concerns for you are truly a concern or if its because they want to get to closer to you to get something from you?
Being in the position I am in with certain organizations I can't help but wonder if some people are my friends because of my title. I would like to think that they are all my friends BUT their actions speak differently. I crave deep true friendship with good people but it is so hard to find. Either you are too busy to do friend things or you aren't in the same spot in life that they are in or you don't have things in common or they are really just not there to be your friend.
I want so badly for "my friends" to call me up and just want to visit with me about life or go to lunch or hang out sometime but all to often people call me up because they need something from me.
How do you take a stand against "friends" like that without hurting them or acting like a fool?
