Attitude

Have you ever noticed how attitude makes more difference than anything else? Wow this was a week for attitude so bear with me as I share my new and old insights on attitude. This week started with me as angry as ever, Kaelee's teacher had hurt Kaelee. I was ready to do battle, no one was messing with me. Jay offered Kaelee that he would shave his head and wear his leather jacket for the meeting with the teacher and principle. Kaelee begged him not to get her kicked out of school so Jay just did his ever intimidating, strong silent thing. The teacher was in tears before the end of the meeting, not because of Jay, as she explained that she loved Kaelee. The problem all came down to Kaelee's attitude! Kaelee has been trying hard to improve her attitude in that class and it seems to be helping, nothing else has changed. Jay had a great week at work he was excited and was doing great untill he had a bad day Wendsday and then he had to fight to keep his attitude up. It always amazes me that when he is positive he is unstoppable. Early in the week as Gavin was screamin at me that he did not want to do his job, I explained that he was choosing to have a bad attitude. He quickly changed his mood (as only a 7 yr old can) and was happy and pleasant and did his job beutifully. Then there was my work week. The boy I work with is smart. I'm not sure if he knows it or not becuase he always suprises me. He has be the model student all week, untill his mom told him he had to have ADHD. Now he believes that he has this condition and is trying to act it. Wow the power of Attitude. I got home from work today discourged, tired, and overall grumpy. My friend texted me and I couldn't even hide my bad attitude from her. I tried to take a nap but of course I couldn't sleep at sat and pondered my attitude. The week of battles has worn on me, and my attitude showed, Makenzie came home with a big smile on her face cheering me up imidiatly, then when I gave Cache Peanutbutter Crackers he exclaimed,"mom you the best!" I am still trying to have a positive attitude but my entire family has had a week of battles and thier great attitudes have made it better. So I am trying to have a good attitude becuase most of the time that is all I can control. Attitude it is my new secret weapon!
