Attitudes?

So I just need somewhere to vent and this is where I chose to do it, so lucky you. If you read and have suggestions then please share. If not, then please pray for me!

I'm not sure if it's the age or what? But this week has brought all new attitudes to both boys. My days have been filled with talking back, fit throwing, and lots of tears. I feel like I am constantly counting to three, sending to time-out chair, or spanking. Don't get me wrong, there have been some sweet moments, but come night....I am TIRED! Mark has been late resident this week which means 11am to 11pm. In my words, it's a week of call because we are gone to school when he leaves and he comes home after the boys are asleep = no help. I have to wonder if God was really SURE that I was supposed to be a mom to boys?! I am no disciplinarian, but I am quickly learning. ;) I feel that if I invest this much time trying to correct the wrong behavior and model the correct then it will make the next years easier. Am I right???

I love my boys (and I hope all reading know the real me) and wouldn't change a thing about them because that is what makes them who they are, but I am just having one of those weeks when I am not sure I am being the mom I should. Kudos to my mother-in-law that raised 3 great boys!
