I have returned from my Lenten computer "fast" and missed you all so much.
I hoped and prayed some things would change here at my house. I hoped to have more time to "fill up" my children with quality Momma-time and love. Well, it didn't quite work out the way I planned. The flu and house issues and well, life, got in the way of my "plans."
I am tired of swimming "upstream." I am the one to make the dc do anything-from getting dressed to going to bed. Most every request is a battle here--and I am so tired! Between battling home issues and culteral forces I am weary.
My prayer request is that I can become the Mom I WAS when ds was little. That I can have patience and discipline with a loving heart-instead of anger. Our 4 year old is just so angry and is very difficult right now. Especially since I believe I helped her become this way by my anger at our move and circumstances here.
Ds needs time with me and my issues with dd take so much away from him. It is just this big mess!!
Dh is going away for a business trip and I need some prayers to make it through. So, if you could please remember us occasionally I would appreciate it.
Anne

Anne, I feel for you greatly, your feelings have been my struggle too last year and the year before with my sickness, my brain was too foggy to know which was to turn in trying to solve my frustrations, frustrations caused by lack of energy etc.
I will pray for you Anne. St Anne is the perfect patroness for peaceful families (I think that is why I'm an Anne, St Anne knew I would need her for SO much!) and Our Blessed Mother, loves and knows us perfectly - I find novena's to her under different, beautiful title very, very powerful.

I love St. Anne, too, and I like to pray...."Good Saint Anne, miracle of patience, pray for me....miracle of IMpatience." It helps. I'll pray for us both tonight.

Anne, praying that you find peace during this difficult time. It is very hard to grow in our mothering sometimes. Just when we think that we can't stretch one more inch, or think of one more solution, or find one more open window, or smile one more feeble smile, God's grace floods us with patience and insight. Hang in there with Hope, friend.
Love,

Dearest Anne,
My heart is filled with compassion and sympathy!!! I will remember you, sister in Christ. Please know you are not the only one who gets weary of that salmon swim! We have GOT to feel each other's presence and support from around the country and world at those really testing moments, or we *will* start to slide. Ah....it's all in God's Will...He will bring something out of this----perhaps you will only see it in hindsight as I always do.  We need to bond together, and live in hope together.
I will pray!

Thanks for your prayers--and please remember us through the next few weeks as dh is gone for business.
Last night our homeschooling group had a talent show. It is hard for me to get to the events since we live pretty far away from everyone--and a nighttime one is, well.... Ds wanted to participate though, so we all went and had such a nice time. People introduced themselves and I got to put faces with names and I felt so supported in my decision to homeschool. All children were talented, so well behaved, happy and just beautiful. I was so proud of them all! On the way home dd came with me-ds went with dad-- and we had such a nice time together--she and I just singing songs, making up stories and doing things I loved to do with ds when he was young. I am hoping for more moments like these in the next few weeks, it makes me feel better about my choices and a happier mom. I want to enjoy my blessings.
A lot of posts here have spoken to me also, the AP one, dealing with isolation living rurally, and others.
Thank you all for being here!!! I keep you all in my prayers always.
Anne
