Intentional

With my husband away at MPI school, and me here alone with all 3 kiddosit has been tough. It has only been 3 weeks (out of an 8 week school)and I already can't wait for it to be over!I think my problem is that I need to be intentional with EVERYTHING. Intentional with my disciplining. This is especially important with my 5 year old.He is really testing me, my patience is low and on those days he feels like pushing it, hitting, kicking, anger in his words and actions, I totally feel at a loss. Intentional with the plans for the day.Some days little A and I don't play very much, and at the end of the dayI feel like we could have done so much more then waste time until bedtime. Intentional in everything.  It's hard. I am lonely and missing my husband. The kids are sad and missing their Daddy.And life has to go on. We have to continue and not just "be" we need to thrive.
