For Pete Sake...

For Pete's Sake...

Why do I do some of the things I do?

Some days we just need to take inventory;

What are you doing that is driving your Husband nuts?

Or making a very negative impression on our children.

Are you murmuring under your breath, while doing your housework?

Can he or your children hear you grumble over the piles of

Loads of laundry sitting by the washer?

Are you whining that we have to cook another meal again?

After all, you just finished washing up with that last sink of dirty dishes.

Grumble, stumble and lose your peace;

And you rob it from everyone else around you!

Learning to be joyful while working at keeping your home!

Learning can only happen if you are teachable:

That is why it is important to take inventory of how and what.

How are you acting?

If you are really brave, try asking your Husband or Children

This question;

Is there something I am doing that rather irritates you!

(You had better be ready for some truth here)

I have done that a few times in many years of marriage,

I am glad that I did as it allowed me to see a few things

That caused unrest in our relationship.

Men do not admire a wife who nagged at them all the time.

They take it personally when we complain we don't have enough

of something we may want in our shopping baskets.

Children can feel that they are the source of contention in a home

Where they hear all the time how much work you have to do

everyday for them. And I am all for training children to

appreciate what they have and to be good stewards of it.

My Mother would say when she was overwhelmed or

upset over something, this little phrase.

(For Pete's sake)

Okay, so this post is for my Mother and of course;

(Pete's Sake)

Whoever he is...

Here is the only Pete I can think of...

Pete from the Little Rascals...

My Hero

And remember we all cannot be the Chief Indian

We need squaws and little Indians too!
