In a way, you encouraged me just at the right time :)Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788857490780111436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3171914904179596460.post-37710442199238424512009-03-02T12:13:00.000-06:002009-03-02T12:13:00.000-06:00I have had those "mom" moments many times.

I was so not the 'cool mom'...but 3 or 4 years later, I got a heart-felt Thank You from my beautiful daughter for being there and saying NO. And you know what she said? 'I knew at the time that you were right...but I just didn't want to admit it to you!' And I'm sure its the same with your daughter...she may seem angry with you, but she knew it was best for her to stay! Thank you so much for the encouragement I get from reading your blog!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999580413335657296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3171914904179596460.post-20254028805496822242009-03-02T08:27:00.000-06:002009-03-02T08:27:00.000-06:00Kristi,Oh my sweet sister, if only we learned not ...Kristi,<BR/><BR/>Oh my sweet sister, if only we learned not to beat ourselves up when we didn't know the fine line between gently guiding our children when we feel led by the still small majestic whisper of wisdom of the Lord and then the screams of heaping doses of guilt from the enemy!! <BR/><BR/>It's just so hard, isn't it my friend!! We are all with you on this one and stand next to you saying "we would have done the same thing" and hurt just as badly and dove right into the chocolate and beat ourselves up and then cried out to God for wisdom and understanding and then been refreshed when he sent those sisters alongside of us to soothe us with words of understanding and compassion for we have been there and done that and worn the t-shirts.<BR/><BR/>You have a Lord who loves you...and sisters who are praying for you and chocolate for the times in between! <BR/><BR/>Hugs ... great big ones to you today. I've missed you. And thank you, for your kind words of love and encouragement for me while I was away.Debra Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000047547485337865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3171914904179596460.post-68098178982210150082009-03-01T18:45:00.000-06:002009-03-01T18:45:00.000-06:00You are so precious!

It is hard sometimes to make that right call.<BR/>I will share my "mom of the year" moment tomorrow on my blog, but suffice it to say...frustrated with Brooke's whining, really frustrated, then spending a night up with her throwing up 25 times!<BR/>I had my chocolate in the form of my grandmother's chocolate pie, and girl was it delicious!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09863543139743814365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3171914904179596460.post-62766491425346668702009-03-01T13:36:00.000-06:002009-03-01T13:36:00.000-06:00We've all been there, questioning our decisions al...We've all been there, questioning our decisions along the way.

I was a leader, taking 16 kids on a field trip. Guess which kid acted out? Yep, my husband's eldest. LOL. (He's mine too, - well this morning.) :) <BR/><BR/>I started reading On Becoming Preteen Wise, again. It was neat when we got home - he had to realize that authority comes from the Lord and when he disobey or doesn't show honor than it affects more than just his honor but also the Lords. <BR/><BR/>My child situation differs from yours b/c mine was more about an obedience issue but the chocolate is still the same. Many blessings to you and your precious family!Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374718748752892678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3171914904179596460.post-69137988093377450452009-02-28T07:40:00.000-06:002009-02-28T07:40:00.000-06:00Thank you so much for your comment!!!

The Lord and I graduated with honors -- and I was on the Dean's List every time. What a blessing! I still can't believe I did it. lol<BR/><BR/>I totally understand what you are saying! I am proud of you for going and doing so well! To God be the glory!!!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for understanding and leaving such a sweet comment!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>BethBeth in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492590083823556624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3171914904179596460.post-6236301505839323482009-02-28T01:42:00.000-06:002009-02-28T01:42:00.000-06:00Oh, yeah. I've been there! My Rachel went through ...Oh, yeah. I've been there! My Rachel went through a period of thinking she needed to be home whenever she felt the slightest bit off. I felt like the mean mom pushing her to go, but I knew in my heart that it needed to be done.<BR/><BR/>It was payback time for me.<BR/><BR/>When I was in elementary school, I often told my mom I didn't want to go to school because I didn't feel well. She'd drop me off at school and I'd sulk. Once I got into the classroom, I was fine. Awhile ago my mom finally admitted that she had felt so guilty that she returned to the school to see if I was still standing on the curb. I never was.<BR/><BR/>I know this is nothing compared to what you've experienced with Rachel. You've had some serious health issues. However, it does all come down to moms knowing best (or at least hoping!) for their children.<BR/><BR/>You did well, Mom!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613738828940204803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3171914904179596460.post-70959750895271726102009-02-27T23:38:00.000-06:002009-02-27T23:38:00.000-06:00Really?

You know your girls... and God has given you intuition for a reason! May he continue to bestow wisdom upon you.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to get back to you on my Mom Moments...

You did what you felt was right for Rachel and it turned out being a blessing for her. <BR/><BR/>Let me think ... my "latest" Mommy of the year ...Ok, I'm drawing a blank. I have many days where I overreact and then feel horrible about it. But YOU were doing what was right.<BR/><BR/>I pray Rachel's headaches go away forever!Beth in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492590083823556624noreply@blogger.com
