What to say……………………. I find that through this long process of surgery-recovery, I am REALLY tired. I want to be my old busy self, running errands, seeing friends, tucking kiddos into bed. These are all currently overwhelming tasks. My oldest kiddo has a temper, she is better with animals than people. We have been dealing with an undiagnosed, sensory-OCD issue for sometime. This leads her to great frustration, and then a fit or big tantrum. She is now 11, and has many good qualities, I do however see the need for some outside help. My husband and I go round and round, he feels if I were able to match her willfulness, and hold steady she would “back down.” This is easier said than done. I am not, willful, I could use a little more of that in my 35 year old self!! I am praying each day that God show me wisdom of how I may be more effective with my oldest, and helpful to me other family members. Does raising an 11 year old girl really have to be so HARD?
God is good, LIFE IS HARD, I am blessed,
Xo,
Carrie

Oh sweetie! Huge hugs...
I'll send you an email...We are trying some strategies with Alex that maybe will give you a good jumping off point... OK, so he's not 11 and he's not a girl, but he does have a whole bunch of aggression and anger these days on top of everything...
I'll blog about it later this week as well...
More hugs!
Bek
