This totally describes how I have felt lately. I pray for peace in my home. Pray for my children to get along and not fight..... and then they wake up like a firecracker! Some days I have broken up multiple fights before 8 am!! I think to myself how is this possible? I prayed for peace and now the kids haven't lasted a moment without fighting! Then I realize... it is ME that he has calmed today. I have felt peace among the storms and chaos of spring break. Our "Lets go get a donut" fun outing turned into kids fighting the whole way out the door, in the car and even walking into Yokes to get one! The "Old me" would have thrown a fit, screamed at her kids and then raced them back home. Luckily I have changed. I was able to turn it around and we had a blast! I wonder if the kids are just testing me to see if I can keep my cool with them fighting. Well... So far I can and I have!!
