Dear God,
It's that time again. Next to treating head lice, probably one of the most stressful times for me to be a parent.Though my children all do well in school, pick up after themselves when asked, say their please and thank you's, there just aren't a lot of other parents running to me for advise on this subject. I just need a little help that's all.
Remember that little accident she had on Monday while she was at the table coloring? Well it happened again.....this time at the mall. What can I say? I guess she likes those juice boxes and I guess I like my house work so much that I just, well, I forget. Please help me to remember before I realize my negligence at the time she decides to sit on my lap.
Lord, I feel sometimes that I am going insane when we are running late for church, brushing hair, tying shoes, changing clothes that are not appropriate for church, some of us....then, that other little something happens that wasn't planned. Keep me, oh God, in your loving arms during these times and free from the talent scouts for the Lysol commercials.
I can only dream about where I'll be a year from now, (though I pray it will be sooner). There will be diaper freedom, replaced garbage cans, and a phone call to the carpet cleaners. But for now, I just need a little strength, perseverance, and provision for a little more laundry detergent than usual. And maybe, just maybe, a few more days like today when we go to the dentist without a change of clothes and come home with dry pants. Thank you, God.
In your name we pray,
Amen
