Help My Mom Be Nice.

So bedtime is truly one of my favorite times of day.  And I don't just say that because I'm sending my kids off to bed with the possibility of enjoying 5 minutes of me time, or even a chance to go to the bathroom alone, though some days those are very appealing ideas.  It's one of my favorites because we have a great routine that includes reading stories, singing a few bedtime songs & having family prayer together, and it's just a chance for us to enjoy each other without anywhere else to be.  Tonight was no exception from the norm, until, in the middle of a really nice prayer my 4 year old said "bless my mom that she can be nice every day when she gets frustrated."  Oy.  That hits like a ton of bricks. Right in the face.  So, here's to hoping that his mom can get it together & not get frustrated.  Even if the wall is covered in toothpaste or Century Link disconnects my internet for the 3rd time in 2 weeks or my Crohn's is fighting me like a ninja in my innards while my kids are fighting like ninjas over a happy meal toy.  Or whatever the case may be.  Yes, please bless that his mom will be nice every day even when she gets frustrated.
