Observations
Today was the first day of Hubby being away at Las Vegas for his work. He’s stationed there for 2 weeks – coming back during the weekend in between – and I miss him already. It was a challenge with the kids not listening very well or following directions. I had to work hard to remember to compliment them, because what wanted to come out of my mouth (and did occasionally) was negative words. In fact, I found myself saying, “You’re not listening very well,” to them. Even though it was true, it didn’t help them to listen better. Lord help me.
