Dear Children....

I prayed the other day for help in seeing a few things that I could improve in order to grow closer to my Father in Heaven and be a better mother. Best thing I ever did....I think.You see it's really easy to be comfortable with how things are, but I have been feeling lately that I don't want to be just comfortable, I want to be better. I can't get where I want to go just being comfortable. So, I was thrown a challenge that hit my pride smack dab on the head (sorry, not ready to share what it was. Twas nothing too serious though :) I am happy to report, however, that I think I have learned my lesson and hopefully, I will do better next time. I am so grateful for my little challenges to bring me to my knees and closer to my Father in Heaven. But boy oh boy, do I have a long ways to go. I hope you two boys will forgive me as I figure out this whole being a mom thing. I acted less than gracefully this week, and although I could blame it on the whole still-not-sleeping-through-the-night thing, that's not a very good excuse to not be nice. Somehow, I have to learn that I still get to be nice even when I'm tired. I am determined to win too. But it sure would help if the two of you learned how to sleep better. I am positive that our precious time together would be greatly improved. I love you both dearly and am so grateful that I get to be your mom and learn all I can from you. Please keep making each other giggle and laughing hysterically when I dance.

Love,
Mom
