The morning is here.

Well as I said before that mornings are pretty hard for us.  This morning I woke up and thought that I was going to change it.. So I ran crazy from one room to the next singing "Rise and Shine".  Thinking that they would wake up in a good mood.  WRONG :(  After 15 minutes of telling KJ to get up she finally got up and got dressed.  But then I told her it was time to do her hair and she flipped out because she said her hair was fixed.. (the pony tail from yesterday wasn't what I had in mind).  so instead of being one of those moms who say OK if you feel good looking like that going to school, then you look great. I had a melt down, because she got so upset that I made her come to the bathroom to fix her hair.  I don't know how to fix the morning times???  Everyone knows that when they see a kid looking like they just got up from bed and ran that they think "man I can't believe there momma don't take care of them."  so how do I pick my battles?  I love my kids so much and want the best for them in life.  I feel like a mom that takes care of their kids make great people in the world.  But where do I draw the line as to say Ok you are your own person, even if you are 7 years old!  The girls were late to school today for the first time in years, all because of my melt down. In my mind I have the right answers to things, but when it comes down to it I can't fix it.. Drives me crazy...  My heart is hurting this morning.  What did I learn today?? Well I learned that I am in charge... And ever how the day happens it is because of me.  So I am going to do my study this morning and refresh my mind!
