Terrible Day

I just need a place to vent.. soooo

I caught my 12 year old daughter lieing to me and stealing from me. I feel like I have failed as a mom. I know kids give us trials and tribulations, heck thats why we have them. I come from a "strong" Christian background, and NEVER would have thought I'd be dealing with this. I whip her and tell her its wrong, but is there a way to "show" her its wrong? I am deeply hurt, I have cried all day, and at the same time I want to know why I think that God would give me more children if I can't teach the ones I already have to do the right thing??? I mean SERIOUSLY???

Am I throwing this out of pro-portion? I'd never done this to my parents, and Lord knows never even thought about it.

On a different note, I am still doing great with my workouts every day, YAY! I walk an average of 4 miles a day. although, the scale is not budging an ounce :( it'll get off me when it gets good and ready, i reckon!

Thanks for listening to me vent, and if you have any suggestions, please send em my way.

Have a Great Week,
Leigh
