?

I really dont have much to say tonight. I have a headache and really just want to go to bed.

The lesson I want to teach the boys is this..God made them they way they are...they are perfect in His eyes..Nothing more nothing less...The more we are around these kids I am realizing what was missing in their lives....They need encouragement...they need structure....they need direction.  Both of these kids love to please others, so much that they tell little white lies to make themselves look better.  Today I was a Coach at Texas Tech in Cayden's eyes (and that is strange because I really do have a great job).  His teacher explained they he tells these little stories to make himself look and feel better about himself.  The lesson I am going to work on is teaching him that he doesn't need to do that.  HE IS PERFECT! 

Encourage your children.  Give them positive reinforcement.  We are so good at telling them when they are doing wrong but we fail to praise them when we are doing well.  IT IS A MUST!

My neighbor came over today and asked how things were going.  The first response that came to my mind was a honest one....."raising kids is easy, it's just time consuming and stressful".  That is my story....It takes time, it takes money, it takes being unselfish, it is a full time job.  Being selfish is the reason people have failed their children....It is easy to put you kids in front of a T.V. or let them do what they want....It is hard to take time out of your day and spend time with them... to wake up a little early to make their lunch, to stay up a little later to read them a story.  But the juice is worth the squeeze!

Mom left today and it made me sad.  I sure am blessed to have had someone love me so much. 

The boys did well at school today.  They woke up on time and went to bed with no problems.  Overall it was a great day.

To be continued....
