Thursday Musings.

I took the power back today and made the Littles take a nap.  I can still do that (!) (?)

The problem, you see, is that they beg me all the live long day to watch TV and don't let up until I say yes.

At which point they have won and I have created poor patterns that give them the control and leave me anxious.

But not today.  Because they are N to the A to the PPING.

Perhaps tomorrow they can earn 30 mins of TV.  Or something.  I must find some way to let them watch it without them having to beg me.  It will probably require some consistency on my part.  uuugghhh.

I received a letter today from my Great Uncle, good friends with my Father,  full of condescending passive aggressive preaching about forgiveness.

I will take the rest of the day to form some thoughts about what 2012 has taught me about forgiveness, because I have a lot to say on the matter.  Which is why I need some quiet time with sleeping children. I could also use some more of the Costco chocolate Christmas cookies to help me through, but, alas, I have consumed them all.

Oh! Look!  Pretty things!  These were taken just three weeks apart in December.  Trusty Nikon to the rescue, once again.

Note to Self:  I miss Three Things Thursday.  Work on this.
