Prayer

Jasper and I stayed at home today.
Other than some sweet friends coming over for lunch and playdate, we had an absolutely rotten day.
Jasper screamed all afternoon.
I pulled my hair out all afternoon.
Then, I cooked dinner.
Andrew came home.
We sat down at the table to eat dinner.
We folded our hands.
I said the prayer for our dinner tonight. It was this:

"Dear God. Please let Mommy not go bonkers and shoot her foot off tonight. Amen."

And Andrew said, "Amen!"

That was probably the most heartfelt, honest prayer of my week.
Thank goodness the Lord's mercies are new every morning, eh? :o)
