This bears repeating

August 26, 2010 | Filed under: Stuff

Dear Lord,

So far today I am doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or overindulgent. However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes and I will need a lot more help after that. Thank you.

Amen.

    One of my favorites.

  2. Stacy ~ says:

    I can so relate.

    Probably shouldn’t have had that 4th martini last nite. I’m such a lightweight…

  3. tennismom mary g says:

    LOL Ditto here.

  4. Ang says:

    LOL..well..I have done 2 of the six already this morning (been grumpy,lost my temper).

    Why is it so darn difficult to get a child moving to get to school on time…yet if we have no place to go she gets up and is making noise before the sun comes up??? :roll:

  5. Bailey Stewart says:

    for me, it’s the fact that I haven’t left the house yet …

  6. Ashley says:

    Ang, I’m with you there! My son fell asleep eating his breakfast this morning (which he does almost every morning during the week), then refused to get dressed. I had to threaten to take him to school in his pj’s (only for a 5 yo this sounds like fun!). Yet on the weekends when I can sleep in, he wants to get up at the butt crack of dawn, it drives me crazy!
    I need to say this prayer every morning!

  7. Caro says:

    Amen. It’s so true.

    (Do I have to get out of bed?)

  8. Joyce Z says:

    Hmm, I guess I should start praying BEFORE I get out of bed. :-)

  9. Allie says:

    I love that one.

  10. D says:

    Well hell, wish I had remembered that prayer before I got out of bed. I need a do-over. And I need my kids back in school 6 days and counting!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. D says:

    oops! sorry not suppose to say hell with a prayer are you( at least not in the context I used it). I so suck at the prayer thing, no wonder it doesn’t usually work.

  12. Donna M says:

    :lol: Blog & responses have me laughing! I love that email, it has been going around a long time but it so good!! It always makes me laugh! My children are long gone so I can laugh at the response of trying to get them out the door. I don’t remember it being to bad unless we overslept!! :shock: Just remember you were ready for them to go back to school! :grin:
