The other day, when I was feeling particularly overwhelmed with this task of mothering, I said, "Let us all just sit here calmly together and sing "Kum Ba Ya My Lord" talk."

AWWW! You and coach are doing a great job with those precious kids!
What sweet comments and sweet kiddos!
By the way, I sent you an email from the email link on your blog, did you ever get it?
So precious! So sweet! I'm thinking we are gonna have to have some of the same kind of conversation over this way! I love getting those kinds of answers!!! Too bad we don't think to ask those kinds of questions more often!
I liked your first suggestion!! I remember the days when mine was young, of singing "Kum Ba Ya" to regain my grace and patience on the hard days! :o)
hugs!

SWEET!
I often ask questions like that, I love getting the answers!
very sweet - my eyes teared up at the mommy question! Those things put everything else in perspective, don't they?
Have a great Spring Break - no blogging for a week - wow!
Becky, that is SO precious and what a brilliant way to calm everything down. I was tearing up reading their sweet answers. I'm going to have to sit down and do that with my boys. They are so funny! I'm almost afraid of some of the answers! :o) Thanks for a precious post and a great idea next time the pressure is building up! :o)
Great job writing down those questions and answers! Why didn't I ever think to do that with my kids? So sweet!
