I assume there comes a time in every mothers life when she feels a little overcome and under appreciated, right? I have been feeling like that quite often during the past couple of weeks. For some time Tris has been a dream, especially after he sleep schedule got on a good track, she was turning into a little princess. However, the past 2 weeks have been a nightmare and it has really gotten to me. Josh and I both have tried everything we know to try and "whip her back into shape" but she continues to press harder. I believe I wrote in my last post some examples of the sass that she has turned into. Luckily, my mother decided to take her for the weekend to the hunting lodge and it has given me a little cool down and reflection time which has been greatly appreciated. I do not think I have ever felt so tested and discontent as a mother thus far. The trials and tribulations of motherhood can sometimes be overwhelming but I certainly thank God every single day for the opportunity he has given me to experience it, oh and to watch Mickey Mouse too :)

I definitely know how you feel! Weeks can go by when Gabrielle is a complete angel... then all of a sudden she turns into a brat, with major attitude, & everything is a battle with her! Sometimes I just want to pull my hair out! Our children definitely test us. Being a mother is definitely overwhelming at times!
I can't say I know how you feel, but keep your chin up. It will get better.
So sorry that Tris is acting out. It's just a stage, I'm sure and you'll get through it!
I love your layout, by the way...how did you do that?! I'm still learning this whole blog thing.
