The beginning of the week is always a slow start because we know it's the beginning of homework, practices, meetings, games, bedtimes, meals and stress! No matter how organized or well planned we are there is always something that comes up that can create a little more chaos!
As a parent the one thing that I've learned that doesn't help the family situation is... frustration! The more we get frustrated with the responsibilities the worse it gets. However, the one thing I've learned along the way that works great is... encouragement! We need it, our spouse needs it and our kids definitely need it! When we're overwhelmed, tired and feel like we're failing it helps to hear encouraging words. It's like filling each other with a jolt of love :) and who doesn't need that!
When things get crazy this week, try to use encouraging words with one another and you might be surprised how much better it can make the week!
Peace and blessings,
Lesa
