In sickness and in health...the Peacemaker Saga continues

Being a peacemaker is hard to do, and its even harder to do it when you don't feel good. My family has been fighting a flu bug for the past two weeks passing it back and forth and it has really been hard to remember to be peaceful when all I wanna do is have someone else be "mommy" for a while so I can lay down and catch a break.
I've also had to come to the realization that as a Mom, sometimes the way I must keep the "peace" is by discipling my kids and correcting bad behaviors that I have let them get away with for to long. Gabe has had several "time outs" in the corner for climbing and screaming, and he hates it, but he has learned from these experiences because he isn't climbing up so much, though the screaming is something I am still trying to figure out how to manage.
