overcoming anger {day 3} know your weak times

It seems I have my family worried. These posts are not because I feel like a failure. They are because I know I can do better. It is okay to be angry. It is not okay to show extreme angry to my children. Or spank angry.

As a woman I fully embrace the hormonal mess that I can be. Knowing my weak times - all of them - is helpful. I know on a daily basis around 3 or 4pm things can go bad fast. And the end of my cycle things get worse.

I have not found the best way to navigate the weak times; but I fully believe awareness is especially important. My husband knows these weak times and prepares to be extra forgiving during PMS.

I am hoping God fills in some of the blanks through the month, especially surviving in weakness.

...stay tuned.

I have come to realize (with my husband's support and relief!) that putting on an educational (or not...) DVD at 3.30 in the afternoon means I'm a good mommy! :) HONEST! Because it means I don't hurt anyone...
