Frustration & anger seems to be the first choice sometimes when met with a bump of chaos in our routine-road of life. It would be so much easier to meet those distractions with love and compassion. Let me know what you think of the book, "Real Love in Parenting"...sounds promising.<br /><br />Also, being in the last trimester of my pregnancy of our 7th child, I am really interested in the "freezer meals" you mentioned. Let me know how that goes as well.<br /><br />~DeAynThe Greevers Possehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564874298643810660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823743951063457995.post-35569190192726277992010-04-15T14:41:09.527-07:002010-04-15T14:41:09.527-07:00it's so funny because i struggle with those ex...it's so funny because i struggle with those exact same things. i am always trying to find ways to fix those issues as i find they are key to a happy home and happy families. nicholeen's books is a great start. it is my favorite parenting book ever- and i've read a lot. so thanks for sharing your ideas. it helps me to see what others are doing on this homeschooling, tjed lifestyle. keep going!Salcidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115694139325139555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823743951063457995.post-3011496976630891502010-04-13T22:27:38.453-07:002010-04-13T22:27:38.453-07:00It must be something in the water out here, becaus...It must be something in the water out here, because we are living in the same land, lately! LOL :D) I have learned how important it is to have a sense of humor! I always tell people that I laugh because it's more fun than crying! We are having some triumphs with daily routine and a chore program, so there are some good things happening, but it's been crazy too! Laughter is powerful medicine and it has helped me to evaluate my priorities and let the little things go! Keep on keepin' on, sista'! I am right behind ya'! :)Raneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933089494009597880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823743951063457995.post-50546774881717411402010-04-13T20:45:51.556-07:002010-04-13T20:45:51.556-07:00Thanks so much for sharing the journey!Thanks so much for sharing the journey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6823743951063457995.post-81249257825576305102010-04-13T17:18:59.139-07:002010-04-13T17:18:59.139-07:00Wow, this all sounds so familiar!
