Not My Child


Did you almost die of embarrassment when your child pulled their own pants down at the library? Want to scream bloody murder when your toddler took a pair of scissors to the dog's fur? Feel like a terrible mother when your kid said a four-letter-word at a back to school event? Well don't! Mothers aren't perfect and neither are children. Let's 'fess up today because it's Not my child! Monday!

Sound liberating? Then let's get going!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Karlee did NOT through such a tantrum in the Dollar Store this week that Mike did NOT have to take her out to the car kicking and screaming!! I mean, she is well behaved enough that she can be told NO and not go into a tantrum!! Nope, Not My Child...she is an angel!! (Side note...not sure who deserved the time out more...Karlee or Daddy!! Daddy handed her a toy to look at and then attempted to pry it from her hands!! He learned a valuable lesson...don't give it to her if you don't plan on buying it!!)

Karlee most certainly did NOT stuff a doll necklace up her nose to the point that it was not visible which did NOT force me to have to get out the tweezers and remove said necklace from said nose!! Nope, Not My Child...she would never do such a thing!!

Karlee is NOT turning 3 years old this Sunday!! There is absolutely no way that is happy...I mean, I just gave birth to her yesterday...my baby CAN'T be growing up....I forbid it when she was born!! No, Not My Child...she is staying a baby forever!! SNIFF, SNIFF!! :-)

Hope everyone has a great week and weekend!! 4 days till we leave for Disneyland!!

What a great post. Mothering is not for sissies is it? It is a tough gig. Thanks for sharing.

Both my boys are grown and have little boys of their own! How fun is that. I blog to encourage MOMS in the fine art of Christian mothering. Mothering is an awesome and aggravating holy occupation.

I have just added my PODCASTS for my series on Philippians called Joy in the Journey.Check it out if you could use some huge doses of encouragement and personal illustrations along with some great Biblical truth.

On Sept. 17 I will be starting a new series on Ephesians called "High Stepping in High Places." We have live video feed and an archived file for the message as long as the PODCASTS.

We would love the chance to bless you as your raise your flock for the Lord. Check us out at www.jeanstockdale.com or http://jeanstockdale.typepad.com. Blessings.
