Whoa!! Playing Catch up!!

Wow, this week has been trying! Let's Start with Friday, got home the girls did nothing but argue about everything! Clear down to "she's looking at me" I thought I was going to go crazy!! I could not wait to put them to bed, I was certain all they needed was a good night's rest!! Right????

Saturday. . .Good Morning. . . Right. . . Wrong. . . The girls woke up right away started in again with each other, it seemed that everything I said or did just made it worse. I thought well maybe we just need to get out of the house so We went and picked up my best friend Melissa, and took her around to some garage sale's (which I love doing) during which we ran into this wreck WOW huh. My question is how did that car get completely under that truck!! Only one wheel of it was left on the ground.. . .

All this got the girls to stop arguing for a minute but then. . . This continued all day and clear into Sunday morning. . . Finally MOM LOST HER TEMPER!!!!

GROUNDED!!!!! YES!!!! I grounded a 5 year old and a seven year old, What to them is grounding?? No Computer, No T.V., No games, No outside, No junk food. No friends over. Wow now that is a serious grounding for them!! but I was serious I could not take this anymore. . The way they were fighting and disrespecting me by not listening to anything I had to say. .WAS DONE!!! (Just to let you know they are usually really good girls so this was sooooooo driving me crazy)

Anyway after I yelled and told them of all of their grounding rules I left the room. What to you know within one hour they cleaned their room, the bathroom, and got in the tub and ready for church without me having to say a word to them.

So off to church we went and all went good service was great! I really enjoyed it. We had a guess speaker and he talked about God always having an open door for all who want to enter into his kingdom, but also of the dangers of that door always being open that you can just walk out any time you want too. but just like any good thing there comes a time to an end and one of these days the door is going to close (when the trumpet sounds) and if you are not in that door (living right for God) than it will be to late. It made alot of sense to me, and made me think of all of my friends/family that are not living for God but always tell me that they want to, It made me hurt for them because when that door closes I don't want to see them lost and left behind!

Then after church we had sign practice for our mothers day song we are doing. It is going to be Blessed. WE then went to eat Chinese YUM! and went home. The girls got ready for bed and set out their clothes for school and went to bed no arguing. . . . They even sang and danced together.

Then Monday came and back to the bickering and arguing back and forth I really did not know how much more I was going to take. . but I was standing firm on their grounding. . That they was not going to get to be ungrounded until they start behaving right and respecting me. .Then I started praying Lord help me I love them but need your help wow. .

Tuesday came yeah Tuesday!! Girls got up ok got ready went to school came home and started cleaning and playing with each other in this big box that came from our lawn mower and just having a bawl no fighting/ did homework/ and when mom said no on certain things they did not complain it was just no. WOW my girls were back. . . !!!!! Finally!! We had a good night!! They ate and got ready for bed . .and when they woke up (Wed. morning) I could not believe what I was seeing they helped each other and was nice to each other and even decided to dress exactly alike clear down to their skimmy's. LOL I had to take a picture of this!! And it makes me thank GOD! He knew I was at my wits end and gave me back my girls!! (I had one friend say that for me to watch out that this was only a preview of how they will be when they become teenagers!! Oh goodness I hope not! LOL)

Some times I see that I have to be more firm with them to get my point across ed. I want them to grow up knowing how to respect the people over them, If they start off like this at this age how will they ever respect a boss at a job, or a husband as the head of a family?? So I think with this grounding and the Lord's help it is changing for now. . . . . . . So if they come home and have a good night listening and no arguing what do you think should I let them be ungrounded????

Sorry to all I haven't posted in awhile I hope you understand now why. . . Let's see about tomorrow. . .ha ha.

Love Lucky and the girls
