Toothpaste

I'm having some "mommy moments" the last couple of days.  I've been having a very difficult time with Eden and am left at the end of each day feeling defeated and like a Mommy that's not doing her job.  

I'm going to make it a point today to show her love, no matter what she says or does, but overwhelm her with kindness and love.  It's the only thing I know left to do.  God love her little heart, she's just sooooooo strong-willed.  Pray that I bite my tongue in half if I have to, as I know words are like toothpaste, as someone wise once said.  They come out easy, but are near impossible to put back in!
