Paperwork

God, why does this aspect of parenting have to be so maddening?

You ever feel that getting told how to do everything, how to make decisions, and the way that things ought to be has gone on long enough? Well, I have done it too long, and will not do it any more...

Tonight's disagreement about a form, email address, and the desire for Mary Kathryn to go to Costa Rica devolved into a bunch of empty threats and the unnecessary putting of the kids in the middle. And the hardest part is I can get sucked into the anger so easily. ugh.

So pray for patience, for strength, for paperwork, and the next step in the process to be focused on the kids, and to be reminded that I have to be a good example for and honest with the kids in every situation.
