I need to work on letting it go more quickly. Sometimes I can channel it into some good cleaning, though. I get into that angry mode, too… I need to work on letting it go more quickly.

Thanks Kathy for the insight and reminder to keep the right perspective, and thanks other "commenting ladies"...we are all in this thing called motherhood together, so it's nice to see others deal with the same things! Although crickets on my table is not a regular occurance at my house. LOL!! BTW, when my son leaves stuff around ( shoes, shorts, wet bathing suit etc), I just throw it off the deck, into the woods and he has to go fetch it......it works like a gem for about 3 months, then I have to throw something off the deck again. :) Well it’s nice to know I am not the only mom out there who deals with these things.

Michael and I went to the ball game last night. Unexpected Free tickets from work. Thursday is clean it up day. We ran out as soon as we got home from work. Directives...clean up after yourself and do your thursday work. Well well well the three teenage children didn't do their thursday work and I can tell you all they ate by the dishes and hardened pudding on the bowls. I am off today, but going to Jacky's school to help out so it will be here when they return and they will do the work...I am trying to let the anger go but a clean house some how makes me feel good inside a messy one makes me feel unsettled. I will work toward your perspective and find peace today.

But sometimes I do grow angry. As you pointed out, though, anger is the winter followed by spring (peace). It's the long grueling job, quelled by a sip of pina colada on the beach. We appreciate the peace because we have worked through the anger to achieve it. You came around quickly, Kathy! Don't ever let that deck fall into disrepair! Beautiful post!
