Day 6: Love is not Irritable

I just read todays devotion and dare. I will need a lil bit to think about this. I will blog once I have my list.

OK, so I have let todays devotion and dare sink in a little bit more. I do think that I can be a little irritable from time to time with my family, not intentionally,but that is no excuse. I am going to try to not let things get to me so much. I tend to carry alot on my shoulders without expressing what I am feeling and then I just expode at times for no reason at my family. I tend to also try to justify why I do or dont do things and then argue with my husband and throw stuff that he did or didnt do to make my ego/pride not feel like it had just received such a blow. I need to own up to what I have done wrong and admit it verbally,not just think it. I also need to be more patient with Jillian than I have been. She has a difficult life going from one house to the other and trying to remember what the rules are at each house and what she can or cant get away with. I have to remember that she is only 7 years old,sometimes I forget that.

I need to just take a few deep breaths and exhale and THINK about things before I say them and if I am having a rough day I need to communicate that instead of just blowing up at somethign that is so little or petty.

Breathe, just breathe.....
