I have to say that the war that I am in isn't so bad. I have to update my "war". What I thought was going to be teeth pulling is actually moving along very nicely.
I have to write this positive update for one reason. It is because I woke up today in a foul mood. I know it sounds contradictory. Just hear me out. I didn't want to do what was needed to be an active member in this household today. I didn't want to take the utilities bill downtown in the rain, I didn't want to go grocery shopping in the rain, I didn't even want to get dressed and the best part is I didn't want to do two and a half hours of ironing and laundry folding. Then I learned a lesson in all my 'tude today. I have such a good life and really have no reason to wake up with the attitude that I had today. Romans 8:28 and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Philippians 2:4 is the kicker "do all things without murmuring or arguing."
So I feel the need to apologize to all that my have been affected by my attitude. I am not at war. Although at times it may feel like it, it really is just my human nature to try and "fix" things or "be in control". Anyone else laughing?
So the positive report is that Alexandra's teacher is okay and really not the enemy. She is going over the top in helping us get what Alexandra needs. It is making more work for the teacher, which is sad. Alex has more work to do at home. This extra work also makes more work for me. Yet, she is getting the support she needs. Not perfect, but better.
I have so much to say about the topic and have done a ton of research. Bottom line is we have to take this one day at a time. I can't help but look to the future and pray that her next teacher will take the extra time to help her too. This is why I have to take it one day at a time and know that it will work out according to His purpose.
Lastly I have to say, she is her daddy's daughter!
