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 am just so burnt out and not being the Mom I want to be.     There is no relief in sight-in fact more stress on the horizon-and I keep trying to be the good patient Mom I WANT to be but it isn't working....and my 4 year old dd is pushing every button she can. Argghhh...
I am praying every minute of the day, but could use a little back up   
Thanks in advance for any small prayers you could send on my behalf.
Anne

Praying, Anne. I know that frustrated feeling. Can you all take a walk outside when those feelings are at their highest? Fresh air always helps me have a more gentle outlook. Don't be so hard on yourself. And if you see stress coming, think now of some practical ways to address it.

I am there too. Is this a season for *all* of us at once!? We'll pray Anne. Please also pray for us.

One thing that has helped over stressful times is to pray together as a family on a regular basis. We go in spurts of praying together. Then life takes over and that's when we start falling apart. I should listen to my own advice, eh?
