Dissapointment in myself
Like I have always said being a Stay at Home Mom is not for everyone. And definately not for me! Sadly, and ashamed,I know it is the truth. I have come to conclude that being a SAHM brings out the worst in me. While I try my best, I am often defeated. I find myself mad at my husband for everything. I feel like I am always nagging him. I am always upset that the house is never clean, besides my best efforts.And it seems that I am scolding my kids every five minutes. Overall, I feel like such an unhappy and unfifilled person. I realize how lonely I am. And I realize that I am afraid of becoming my mother.I feel like I am a bad mother - but I love my kids more than anything! I pray that I am wrong and that they know how much they are loved. Most of all I feel like a failure. At least in my own eyes. I mean what kind of mother can not stay at home with her kids? Sad.I want to make a difference in this world, I want my life to count for something, but the truth is I can not even make a difference in my own home. Failure.

Entitlement
Why do people walk around as if they are entitled?
I went to the supermarket today and twice - it happened to me. First, I drove into the parking lot to find a spot. I stopped way ahead of time - quite a distance - to let an older lady know that I was stopping to let her cross. She just walked across as if she was entitled. She didn't even look my way to say thank you - a waive- a smile. Nothing.
Then, after my shopping. (I had just run in to grab a loaf of bread.) I proceeded to back out of my parking spot. I was almost out when this lady and her buggy zoomed right behind me. Of-course I stopped! I can't believe that she didn't even stop. How rude! I waited until she went to the opposite side of the aisle, then went on my way.
My thought is this :
I think that the world would be a much better place if we all practiced even the slightest bit of kindness to one another.
My challange:
Practice kindness to a total stranger today.
"Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you."
Proverbs 11:17
