Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I feel a little petty posting this because there are certainly other prayer needs that are more urgent. But I really could use a few prayers if you could spare a few seconds. My husband has been out of town for work for a few weeks. I'm just worn down. I'm exhausted and nauseated (joyous 1st trimester), and fighting off a nasty chest cold to boot. To top it off, I signed up to help out with VBS long before I knew DH was going to be out of town.

We get home from VBS and I just want to crash, and the kids just want to run. I get cranky, they get rambunctious. I just need to hold out for 4 or 5-ish more days before DH gets home. I swear I don't know how military moms and single mamas do this. They have my utmost respect!!

Praying for you! I would be very tempted to hire someone to take the kids to the park or swimming after VBS so you can sleep.

Adding my prayers. It is very hard to hold down the fort, especially when you don't feel top notch

Thank you. I really do appreciate it. I got a good nights sleep last night (fell asleep by 9pm!) and woke up feeling a bit refreshed. Still fighting the cold, but not being completely exhausted makes a world of difference in my attitude and nausea level.
