Yes, you read that right.  I kicked a hole in the wall yesterday.  I flat out punted the wall actually.  {Totally humiliating I know!}  I considered keeping this horribly embarrassing and humbling nightmare a secret, but when you have two children who saw you do it and they blab it to a stranger in the grocery isle of Wegmans, is there really keeping it a secret?  So why not blog about it?

My daughter to me, “Mommy, don’t you wish that was a dream and it never happened?”  “Yes honey, I do.”

The fact is, we do stupid things.  We fail.  We are human.  I am flesh.

I’m not going to go into details, but I was low on sleep, high on stress, the baby was finally asleep, the older two screamed at the top of their lungs and woke him up, and this Mama flat out kicked the wall!  

There.  Now don’t you feel better about your poor-mommy-moments?  I’m glad I could help.

1) We need to ask for help as moms.  Sometimes we think we can do it all.  We can’t.  We can’t.  We can’t.  And when you think you can and you come to your breaking moment, you may just kick a hole in the wall.  So ask for help.

2) We need to find a way to release our stress.  Exercise is a must for anyone, especially a mom.  I (you) need to find a way each day to get some exercise and frustration out.  Or else.

3) We need to be in God’s Word daily.  There’s really no way around this one.  We need to be reading, meditating, and recalling scripture to mind all throughout our day.

4) Don’t let your stress build to the point of wanting to kick a hole in your wall.  That is just not cool.

5) There is grace (much grace) in our less-than-fine moments as a mom.  Ask for forgiveness from your children.  Admit and confess your sin.  Move on.  

God is good… all the time, His grace is sufficient… 

2 Corinthians 12:9 “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
