sometimes when i have "one of those days" i want to vent to your dad about it and just be "blah" for a few days. unfortunately this does not help me! what helps? well, going to God in prayer and asking for wisdom; getting perspective from His Word; regrouping and planning a course of action; exercising to clear my head. things like this are more helpful.
of course part of being a team is talking to each other when there is an issue. but the challenge of being a mom at times is that i am also a wife. i want our home to be a place of peace and have a positive attitude when my husband is at home. he is at work being stretched significantly. i want him to look forward to being home and enjoy being here as much as possible. of course things are not perfect. but although i may feel like telling him EVERYTHING, sometimes I need to tell EVERYTHING to God and then decide what I really need to tell my husband. Not to deceive him, but to not use him as a mere sounding board. especially when i have tried this before, and it really doesn't help all that much.
