Honesty

I believe in honesty, so here are my honest feelings - I have been a bit discouraged lately with my blog - I have tried to write more often, and write on life opinion type topics and have got little to no responses. I can see that I am getting some traffic, but it is disheartening that hardly anyone responds. But.. I will try to keep it up, maybe I can gain some readers/commenters back :) Or maybe I just need a good old contest to get some more traffic... hmm.. I will have to think about that...


..more about honest feelings, I have honestly been having a frustrating time with my son lately - he has started to talk back to me and I have been trying to be really consistant with not letting it slide - at all.. But oh, do I feel like an ogre!!! I feel like I have been just a nasty mean person all week - constantly disciplining my son - kinda puts me in a bad mood that I seem stuck in :( My son has also been teaching my DD some of his wonderful attitude.. even though she doesn't really understand what she's doing, it's disheartening as well. I have also been trying to nip that in the bud too. I was just thinking, why is this parent thing so hard - but really God has given me a challenge - He has challenged me with my kids - I guess I need to learn something through this - because He only gives us what we can handle right?

Sorry!! I know I haven't commented on the last few posts...but I AM reading your blog. :) And of course, I always love it when you have a new post up...or cute pics or anything. And I hope things get better with your kids too...Tate doesn't talk enough yet to do anything like talk back...but he does have his days when he disobeys...and when I feel like all I am doing is disciplining him. Sigh...it is tough sometimes, but I still would never trade this job for any other job in the world!

I'm here too :) I don't often comment, because I am often reading blogs while I'm holding Bria and my hands are not free.

I also don't get why I have over 100 readers per day and get only 2 comments. Whatever :) At least they are reading.
