I was reading MckMama's latest blog entry today and, sadly, this paragraph really described me at one time or another and it really hit home. Check it yo.
"But when I am off, believe me, I am off. In the darkness of private disagreements I'd much rather forget than blog about*, I have sworn like a sailor at my beloved. At my worst, I can be pompous and self righteous, a know-it-all who would rather shove what I think to be right down my husband's throat than listen with an open ear to his side. I can be rude and condescending, unwilling to be the first to repent and to forgive my spouse. There have been times when, should my husband have decided to do so, he would have had every justification to call the cops on me for harassing him. There are times when things haven't been pretty between us. And I am going to share today some of the things I have learned through living in the trenches like my husband and I have."
While I'm not going to share the things I've learned, I would like to point out something. You might have heard me say something like this a time or two before but I won't stop saying it because it will never stop being true. Sometimes I can be the scum of the universe and yet God comes along bringing His his Scrubbing Bubbles, Comet, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and giant scrubbie and makes me new again. If I were Him I'd be sick and tired of cleaning up my scummy mess. My God is truly amazing.

I think we all have been in that place one time or another. MM said it best.
