stupid things

This post is more for me since this is my journal right now, so it is going to be boring!  As a parent I am finding I say really stupid things.  Sometimes I catch myself saying things or giving my kids these crazy ultimatums to get them to do what I want them to do.  I keep thinking I am so grateful Heavenly Father is not like me.  Today I said something to Johnathan that hurt his feelings, and I keep thinking where did that come from.  He is such a sweet loving kid. All he wants are people to love him and be his friend, and yet for a moment I did not give that to him(at least he did not feel that from me).  Did I loose his trust, am I breaking his and Rosie's spirit.  Sometimes I can't believe Heavenly Father gave me these little children.  I am grateful for them and I love them so much, I just hope I can think before I say the stupid things to my kids and other people!

Oh Laura. I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm sure you did not say anything stupid. You are the nicest mom I've ever met! By the way, I love all the post and pictures. Auretta is sitting here pointing out everyone and smiling. We miss you guys!
