BY THE MOUTHS OF BABES

This week has been so long and stressful for me, and despite my efforts to keep it inside, my stress have spilled over a few times.  The latest one was this afternoon.  It had been a long day, Xax had to be to the army extra early and I wasn't feeling well.  Hailey decided to dump powder all over our bathroom again.  I swatted her bum and put her in her bed for timeout and went to cool off for a minute.  When I went to get her, she wanted to go find Xax, who was taking a nap between jobs.  Kind of off-handed, I said, "Yeah, someone still loves you."  She looked at me and said, "Yes, Jesus loves me!" Talk about stopping me cold in my tracks.  I learned a very important lesson today about watching what I say, and being sure I think before I speak, no matter the situation.  Hailey, I LOVE YOU!
