Cast Away the Evil

 

I can't stop yelling at my kids.  My boys know just how to tip me off so that I scream like a crazy person. Nicholas especially like to get me going then laugh at me when I shout. It is enough to seriously drive me crazy.

I want so bad to not yell at my kids. I want to be nice and pleasant and loving, but there is something they do that just gets me going like nothing else.

When I read todays gospel reading it was perfectly like what I am thinking about after every single screaming fit. "Dear God, please cast away this meanness from me. Please help me to be a loving, calm parent (and please teach my kids to listen)"

But, I have to say that today I am super grateful for the extra time I got this mornng to be with my boys and at the end of the day today. I am so blessed to have such good boys a great job and this life of mine.
