I am a yeller! Yes, you read that
right! I can really lose it sometimes! Having three under 6 make me go zombie
some days! Some days are real bad and some days are good, I mean real good. At
the end of the day, when I 'narrate' my whole day to my husband MJ, some days,
he wonders if its the same kids I am talking about. Today happened to be one of
those good days! So I sat down to check, why some days are better than others.
I think it mostly depended on me, my mood, my attitude, my energy level, the
mess around etc. sadly, I could take control of all these and make sure that
things are under the banner of love.
I like challenges and I am a big
time result oriented person. So I am taking up a challenge. This challenge is
same as no yelling challenge here and here. As much as I would
like to say STOP YELLING, I am just like my kiddos who dont like much of 'no'.
I phrase everything in this house with no no's. It just works better in this
house, and I guess in the habit of saying like that, I like to hear it also that
way.
I am planning to take one day at a
time and take up this challenge for 24 hours - easy, peasy!! huh! If you have
been to our house as a invisible guest, you will know its a mountain task! So,
first things first, I wrote down a declaration for me and my kiddos, took
almost all the scripture from, I think, Katie's ( though I cant find it
anymore).
- Declare the word over myself and children.
- I have identified the time I yell more, which is when I sit with Nate to revise. So I am gonna be cautious there and keep saying the word 'Love'
- I have broken down our revision time to little chunks, so I am hoping it will be easy on both of us.
- Also, eat well, drink water, exercise and keep the house clean before I sit with him.
Wish me good.
-JJ
