Tips and Tricks...
If your brakes go right to the floor...let off and pump them slowly. It will give you enough pressure to stop. It works...happened to us this weekend on our way to camp. Brake line broke on our truck. It explains why the guy behind us got upset with us and sped past us...we were spraying brake fluid on him....shouldn't be tailgating...just sayin'.
My favorite blog post this week...

Lesson learned the past few days...
I had my daughter tell me yesterday that she hates me. Ouch! But my brother in law put it best, "Good job Jen. You are her mother not her little friend. If more parents took this stand there would be a lot less problems with our youth" It all came about because she wanted to go to dinner with a "friend" of the opposite sex. We said this young man needed to call us and talk to us. After about 5 minutes into the conversation, we knew the answer was no. This young man proceeded to tell my husband we were ignorant and keeping our daughter "hostage" by not letting her go to dinner. My husband asked him...do you think talking to me like that is going to make me change our minds?!! My husband was great at keeping his cool. They went round and round for over an hour. Finally my husband said this conversation is over! Please pray for us. Our daughter is at that delicate age where they think they know everything.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

And lean not on your own understanding:
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths."

That is really hard when kids use the word "hate" towards you. I pray that God can give you and your husband guidance and peace during this time. Teenage years are hard. I remember them very well and I look back wishing I was more respecful towards my parents.
I hope you have a great week :)
I'm sorry you're dealing with this, she really is at that difficult age, will be praying for you all.
Hope you have a wonderful week Jen.
