Struggles

I know everyone has struggles in thier life. We all have trials. We all have things that happen to us and sometimes we can't seem to find the light to get out. I've had a hard week. I'm not really sure what wad going on but I'm sure I was being put back in my place. Earlier in the week I was talking to a friend in my ward after Activity days and we were talking abiut kids, and famlies, and Damon and trials. I mentioned that I felt I was usually ready for trials because I feel that I am in a constany trial. Which I still feel that I am. So what I mean is that I am ready for trials when it comes to him. Well come to find out, no I am not. I think Heavenly Father was telling me that once again I am not in charge and to trust in him. I do. I trust that he knows what he's doing and what he's giving us. As I was having this hard few days, everyonr and everything was annoying me. I didn't want anything to do with my kids ir husband and was being selfish and wanted to just be me. During this time I was doing a lot of praying for patience, for love, understanding, worthfullness, feeling appreciated. I think that I needed to come back around and realize that I need to stop being selfish. That its not about me, its about making my husband and family feel special and in return they will make me feel special. I am grateful for knowing that I can turn to God when I feel that I can't talk to anyone about what I am really feeling. And in return I feel his love and he helps me through the tough days.
Some points of the week-
Keenan said that some day he will get to sleep in white clothes like us.
Keenan learning shapes and words in spanish
Niko is trying to talk more. I understand his mumble and jumble about 50% of the time.
Damon has had a double ear infection. Been using drops. 4th one since tubes and adnoids removed the end of Aug. We need to make an appt to see ENT abiut that.
Found someone in my ward with a degree in child development who wants to be his respite worker. We find out this week how many more hours we will be getting!
First week of feel great in 8 started again! So much easier this go round! Almost a perfect score!
