Hi/Lo Thursday

Lows:

1. I feel like I am losing the battle on discipline in our house, with our almost 3 year old daughter. Our strategies just seem to anger her so much that she loses control. She seems to be having more and more tantrums, and I really don't know what to do about it.

2. I wanted to get my dining room pained before we have company this weekend, but I just ran out of time.


Highs:

1. Today is my baby's 1st birthday! I can't believe it. He has grown so much over the past year. Happy birthday baby J!

2. We are having a party on Sunday for J. Family and friends are coming for an italian feast, and I'm sure it will be alot of fun.

It's been a pretty long week in the W family.

Lows:

1. Being very frustrated and in a bad mood directing it toward my family. There is nothing I can pinpoint, but it makes me sad.

2. My daughter is afraid of thunderstorms, which happened last night, and she ended up sleeping with us all night. Did not get a good night's sleep.

Highs:

1. My son is turning one next week! Very exciting!

2. I have had 2 weeks off of work!

I L-O-V-E this idea...the hi/lo part (although $100 isn't too shabby!). We do this at our high school youth group. It's the first thing we do after our opening prayer. We sit around in a circle and everyone has to say a "pow-wow". We do the pow (lo) first, because we always want to end on a positive (wow/hi) note. :) The teenagers really get to know each other week after week and it helps everyone relax and open up to the group! So here it goes...

My Lows:

1. I got very frustrated one day with AR because we are potty training, and on this particular day she was having many many accidents, without even trying to go to get to the potty in time. Prior to this, she was down to maybe 1 accident a day.

2. Our roof had something on it that was called a metal roof vent (something like that). Well, a piece came loose, and if it rained, we could get some serious leaks. The roofer said they don't even use those anymore, and the entire metal strips across the peaks of our roof had to be torn off and replaced with a different kind of vent (shingles over a plastic vent). It was definitely an unexpected expense.

My Highs:

1. J is learning how to give kisses on the lips. He is so cute when he leans in with his slobbery lips wide open and plants one on you. You need a towel. :)

2. I am so thankful that we caught the roof problem in time, BEFORE a heavy rain. That would have been much much worse (and more expensive).


OK...your turn. Go to the website listed above and post your high/low Thursday! Have fun!
