"Dear Jesus, I know I ask allot of you and am constantly knocking at your door with requests. It must get exhausting to clean up mess, after mess, after mess. I really think this will be my last plea and I promise to keep it short, but do you think you could just come back NOW because I am NOT going to survive 4!"
"You see Jesus, she is really so dang cute, but the buttons she knows how to push with me make me realize how much I missed 3!!
" I was on a walk the other day enjoying your creation when it dawned on me that I had been praying all wrong. Instead of give me patience, kindness, guard my anger and tongue, I need to be praying you will just come back today because I am not cut out for teenage daughters. Don't worry you still have time they are only 4 and 8 but the longer you take the more grey hairs they make."
"I appreciate all the sweet old ladies you put in our path at the grocery store and bank who smile ever so sweetly and say,"enjoy this time honey it won't last!" And in the back of my head I am thinking,"Thank you Jesus, that is the hope I am holding onto lady!"
"I found a grey hair and I am waking up in the mornings much slower, I think it's all part of their bigger plan to take over! So if you could find it in your heart to just answer this one last prayer, please come quickly cause I'm pulling out all my hair!!!"The good news is this; I am getting in the car with my husband this afternoon and driving away to the beach for the weekend for a nice romantic birthday getaway. My mom is staying and no I won't be leaving the camera; I don't want any proof that this little one tortured her all weekend. Thank you again mom and God bless you for rescuing me this weekend. Very much needed.
Now for all you first time mom's out there who have sweet little 8 month old babies in your lap as you read this who think you hung the moon and you could never imagine WANTING to get away from your kids this weekend (WAKE UP! They are still to young to talk back!) No seriously I will miss my kids and everything will make me think of them and I will be ready to come home on Sunday. Well, it depends on how nice our room is! Kidding!!!
