Reality

Hello, It is late and I just want to go to sleep.  Currently my 2 children that are here are driving me insane.  They are my high maintenance children.  Meaning it is 11:00 at night and they are whining, constantly begging for something, and asking me to entertain them.  This is one of those habits I want to change.  I want to have the time to tend to them for a moment then let them try on their own.  But instead, I am telling for the 10 th time to go to bed.  I know that they only want my attention. 

Skyler and Gabby both are at a friends house tonight. 

I had to work.  Which is a constant, and will not change. 

I want something better in the sense of structure and discipline.  I want them to know what is expected of them, what is good for them, and how they can function without my constant instruction. 

I believe they spend way too much time with the technology of today.  I am sick of the I pad, I pod, X box, Netflix....  They need to create their own entertainment.  So that is one of my many challenges. 

Who do I go to for help....Who else....  MY Heavenly Father:

Dear Father,

Greeting in Jesus name.  Help me get my kids structured and to restore simplicity without the computer games.  I am soooo sick of them.  So give me wisdom and insight.  Give the kids a desire to do something beyond those options.  Help us to be creative in our free time.  Productivity and structure.  Thank you for giving me this day.  Thank you for the meal.  Thank you for our help and thank you for our provision.  Please be with the childrens earthly father and continue the work in him.  Keep  him where he needs to be.  In his abscense, please be the Father to my children.  Teach them to reach out to you.  Give them a desire to seek YOU.  Thank you and love you.  In Jesus Name amen.

Tomorrow is a new day.  Today was a good day.  I want to see improved productivity and the beginning of structure in this home.  I am hoping to begin with menus and groceries.  To apply a budget.
