No Words

There are no words to describe how I am feeling right now. My tiny baby girl just hauled off and hit me for the first and last time. I can't begin to describe how tired this makes me. As a mother you do everything in your power to provide not only for your child's well-being, but for their spiritual and emotional needs as well. Everything that I do, is to further them in some way. I am astounded that she would think it was ever acceptable to hit me. I had felt so good this last two weeks about our communication and how things were progressing with discipline for Sarah. She is so full of spirit and agency that it is really difficult to get through to her, but we had started to change for the positive. Mostly, reading my scriptures continuously had helped me to be more patient and better able to do the right thing, but all good things must come to an end and end they did today. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring back the better days that we have been having.
