My intentions of this blog is for it to be a journal. Not to highlight just the good things that have happened. I want to look back and remember what life was really like.
Well, this week life has been tough...and that's and understatement. I guess Gavin has hit terrible two's or an alien has abducted his brain. He has been doing the whole no thing, which I know is normal. Then you add screaming, and I mean screaming and hitting me. Now this doesn't happen once a day, its like 7+. I don't want to admit this but I have done EVERYTHING! Got on my knees at his level and talked to him, threatened him, yelled, bribed and even spanked. And lots of prayers for strength and patience.
After I had broken down in tears this week it add occurred to me that we hadn't been to the temple this month. I was able to get us a sitter and into a session. I'm looking forward to going tonight. I am always so enlightened and refreshed each time we go. When we got married we made it a goal to go every month and since we have been married we have only missed 2 months.

We haven't been to the temple since before Elisabeth was born. We are always really good about going monthly until I have a baby and then it seems like we don't get back into it until I'm not nursing as much...which will be soon so yay! I am so sympathetic for you and your troubles with Gavin. I know what its like to lose patience and all of that. And then at the end of the day when you are trying to go to sleep you think about everything you may have said or done wrong and the guilt sinks in. *sigh* I hope next week goes better for you! BTW we need to get together again soon!
...and you are always calling to check on me and make sure I am doing ok...
...teach me a lesson in humilty!
