Okay...sometimes people really frustrate me. Sometimes I feel the need to shake something off. Sometimes I wish I could padlock my door forever and keep intruders out. Sometimes I wish I could look people in the face and say, "no!" Sometimes I wish I could punch people in the face...fellow bloggers and all who read...this is one frustrated mom. Why is it that random people just decide to invade your house without asking permission and take over the entire night? Why is it that I allow it? I wouldn't want to be mean I guess. Whimp. So instead I displace my anger on the cyber world...better the person's face I guess. There...I feel much better. Get this...I learned something in one of my Bethany classes the other day that said you could still be entirely sanctified and still be tempted to do wrong.......you never know....it's always nice to know you're still on the right track!!!

It's alright to ask people to leave....if they don't respect the fact that you want some privacy then that is there problem, not yours. You can't hold their hand forever. Anyway, it is possible to get over this challenge of not wanting to hurt people's feelings or offend people all of the time. That remedy is to just realize that you are a person too, and you have rights, you have needs, you have desires, and you have a place (your home) which should be yours to escape to. PLEASE, learn this now, or you will NEVER learn to say no to people. The sooner you take courage and ask for something, the sooner you will be relieved of these frustrations!!! I pray that courage will be something that will well up from within you, from Jesus, and your requests will be heard in the love that comes from him!!!!!
Thanks Judy :) I am getting better though, I must say!
You know, I had SERIOUS Postpartum Depression after Jadon was born, and I HATED when people would be over at my house -- my safe haven....I would just say, "Ok, Jadon and I are going to bed, you can stay if you want, but we're going to bed now. Goodnight!" No one ever took offense to it, and I didn't say, "Get out!" (as much as I really wanted to), but I just simply stated that my family has needs that need to be taken care of, and I wasn't going to put them on hold. If someone is offended by it, then it's not my issue, it's theirs. Someday, they'll understand.
Amen Kayla!! Amen!
