My Prayer

Dear Daddy,

Thank you so much for the gift you gave me in my daughters. I love them with all my heart. I cherish them. They bring a lot of joy into my life and my heart.

But God, please help me make it through the terrible twos. I am already so weary of the screeching, the hitting, the fighting, the coloring on the walls, the spilling of everything all over the floor, the dumping out of everything imaginable, the getting into drawers, the climbing, the defiance, the house that can never be clean because they make messes faster than I can clean them up and the not ever able to get anything done.

I am only one person. How does one person deal with 3 two-year-olds as well as their older brothers and still be able to run the house and get things done without breaking into tears of despair? I need help.

Amen.

    Kristi,
    How brave and transparent of you to share your prayer and frustrations on your blog. I will be praying for you and asking for strength for you. I'm a bit behind you in age but the biting, fighting over toys, and spilling of drinks and snacks has already begun, and I have a deep respect for the challenges that await me. Hang in there. You are doing an admirable job.

    Kristi,
    When you first told us that you were expecting triplets, my first thought went to a houseful of two year olds. This is probably going to be the hardest time for a while, but hang in there!!! And keep writing about all the cute things they do so that you keep your sense of humor.
