PRAYER FOR A TIRED, IRRITABLE PARENT

PRAYER FOR A TIRED, IRRITABLE PARENT

Healthy children make lots of noise.

They sing, they shout, they belly laugh, they fight, they bang things together, they bounce things, the cry, they scream, they make lots of noise.
...
They play loud.

God, bless my healthy children. Give me new ears, ears that hear the music of their noise.

Give me new understanding, understanding that doesn't crush their spritis with my intolerance and oversensitivity.

Give me a new Peade, a Peace that is grateful for the sound created by healthy children.

Thank You Cards

I am a grateful person. I do appreciate when nice things are done for me. I do however, have a "beef" with thank you cards (TYC). Generally, kind acts of service are extended to help one out when one needs help. If one needs help, why do we put that person under all the added stress to give us TYC? It makes me crazy. I owe about 65 TYC from when I was pregnant with Mallory. Most of them I wrote last February. They are all in a pile in a closet. Somewhere.

Or more time than it took me to do whatever it was that made you feel compelled to give me a TYC. Just say, "thank you". That is nice. It is goo

36

Thirty-six is not such a terrible age.  Right?  WRONG!!!  I wish we could age back and forth from 27 to 31.  You know, when we get to thirty-one, go back to 30, the 29 and so on.  I realized that all the girls that had babies our senior year will attend their childrens' High School graduation.  I feel so wrong about it.  I remember when I was still too young to be the mother of the girls that babysat for us.  I am now two years older than my grandma was when she became a grandma. Don't get me wrong, I am not depressed or anything.  And I definitely think 36 sure ain't what it use to be.  But, I also wish I wasn't in my "late" thirties.  Yuck!!
