The day after

I didn't know what I was going to do to my child when I got home.Well I still don't know to the extent of what's going to happen to him however he has been banned from the TV, computer since I don't let him play video games during the school week anyway that's nothing lost. However, he did have to write a pretty heart felt apology letter.
Up to my standards even... Nothing worse than writing a letter and bringing it to your mom and
getting it shot down and having to start over...

It went a little bit like this
Trevin: Mom I'm done with this letter I am going to bed.
Me: Bring it to me I want to read your letter.
Trevin: OK.... I did the best I could do is it alright?
Me: Well, I would love to tell you yes but, no! You need to reach deep into your heart and pull up your most thoughtful sweet spirt that I know is in there and think very hard about how you
want this to make up for what your hurtful mouth has said.
Trevin: OK... I will be back.......

WAITING!!!!

STILL WAITING!!!!!

Then he did it .... it made me cry it was truly the sweetest thing I have ever seen.

So now in prayer will everybody agree with me that he has learned his lesson on just how hurtful words can be. I am back to what else are going to be his consequences.... Yes....
This was a very big mess up!!!!


I went to bed feeling like I had been run over by a mack truck. Its got to be the one thing that
gets to me. You know that your children our a reflection of you so when things like this happen
you wonder what in the would have I done that would ever make my child think like this. So then you pray and pray.
I woke up in the night and still was burdened and I thought back to when I was a teenager and
my stomach sank I to said hurtful things and really messed up. I would like to think I turned out alright and am probably one of the most sensitive people you might meet...
So in that reflection I seen my mothers face and I thought about her nights that she went to bed with prayers on her mind..... We just have to keep going and keep showing our children by example to be a good person.

As the boys left this morning for school both not just one turned around at the door and said "see you tonight mom", "I love you momma"!
At that very moment I couldn't think of anything I would have rather heard to start my day after off!
