This morning my wife and I were at odds almost immediately as neither of us could wake up early.  I was resentful at her that I could not follow up on a job inquiry early.  The truth is that I am afraid of taking it on.  Also, if I had woke up early then I would have been able to follow up anyway.

In the afternoon we had a major disagreement over my son's disciplinary consequences.  I was very disappointed in our inability to communicate civilly. I felt very angry that my son had to be in the middle of this.  I felt more angry at my wife than I have felt in a long time.  I had that trapped feeling that is not a good place for me to be.  I was angry about a lot of things, about the impending pressure of trying to start a full time job and go to school.  I had to pray a lot.

I enjoyed the time I had with my kids tonight while my wife was at work.

I am thankful for the good things God is doing for me and I am sorry that I have not appreciated them more.
