A friend and I met up for Coffee this morning and then went to see "Water for Elephants". It was a great day with her. I hadn't been to a movie in awhile. This is the first day since Noah has been in school that I didn't do any work at home. My husband is awesome with encouraging me in these types of endeavers. Right now, I'm taking some quiet time. Letting my daughter know that I need my space right now. My husband is going to be leaving for a whole week very soon, and I'm trying to get use to making some very important boundaries with my daughter, so I can survive the time my husband is away. I'm also working on handling her in a calmer fashion when she is misbehaving, another lifesaver I believe. Yelling and spanking takes so much energy out of you. As does arguing and there is really no point in arguing with a 3 year old. They don't know how to "fight fair" and they really don't care about your opinion, feelings, or lack of energy when it comes to getting their way. Now, I'm basically speaking to her calmly, telling her the options/consequences for misbehavior and going about my business. These things are things I needed to work on anyway but I think they will make our time together while Reggie is gone much easier. He does a lot to help me I will miss him but God will use it I'm sure.
I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. A thou
