I thought it was soooo funny! It said..<br />I will remain calm.<br />I will not slam doors.<br />I will not raise my voice.<br />I will not break things.<br />I will not throw tantrums!<br />I will not act like a child!!!<br />I am the mother!<br />THE MOTHER!!<br />THE MOTHER!!!<br />Well, it hung on my our wall for as long as I was in the house and I pretty much forgot about it. Until a few years ago my mom came out to visit us. Guess what she brought??? That very same little sign. Only this time I cried when she gave it to me. I never knew back when I gave it to her that it was more than a funny joke. I was blind to my parents pain and trials in raising us. But as she handed it back to me I knew that that was a real montra. That sometimes I would need to repeat those words under my breath again and again while trying with every ounce of strength I had to do them. And then when my strength failed and I could no longer remain calm, keep from slamming the doors, yelling, breaking things and throwing a mighty tantrum that I would long for that time out. I would want to be grounded, but no one would say the words and I would have to come back to adult life even though I wanted to be a child. <br />I will be better in the morning, but sometimes getting to the morning really sucks. And that's when I for one, am glad that sometimes my children aren't the only ones who look homeless at school that day, and I am not the only one who won't answer the door because I don't want to subject anyone to the view on the other side of it. <br />Hang in there!Sarah E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790451132193607908noreply@blogger.com
