tomorrow tomorrow....

I love ya, tomorrow....
You're only a day away.

Jason comes home tomorrow night. Fly oh jet plane...FLY LIKE THE WIND!

I thought we had a pretty great day. We went to Walmart to buy a winter jacket for Anneka, then I felt like going for a walk. So we drove to Assiniboine Park, and walked around. We visited the Conservatory, which Anneka called the "Jungle". Then we took a ride on the Train. We came home, and I let Anneka play outside for like....10 minutes.

Well....in those 10 minutes, the "Crab-Apple Gang" struck again. Anneka left the yard. Ok. So now I can't let her even into our yard, because she'll leave! Our yard isn't completely fenced, and I can't be outside every moment (Aila can't play outside really). So now I have to eliminate outdoor play unless I'm there. It really sucks. Parenting is hard.

What's hard today is that I felt SO good! Anneka was SO Good! All day, it was just a joy. Then she deliberately disobeyed, and I have such a hard time forgiving her! I would have NEVER thought that it was possible to be so frustrated and angry with your child, that you can't forgive them in your heart. Of course, tonight I'll have to pray and get my act together and work it out with God. I have to be forgiving. However, sometimes I feel like being forgiving gives her carte-blanche to do it again! Really, I think that's how she sees it.

Poor God. He has to deal with this everyday with all of us messed-up humans. I've only got to deal with one. Okay. That's good perspective. I needed that.

So the solution? What's the solution to Anneka's lack of obedience??? I think it's simple. She needs to get saved! : )
