Some Venting and Some Interesting Praying

We now interrupt this blog for a little something I need to get off my chest. I've never really wanted to use this blog as a political sounding board and don't know that I intend to do that now, but I have to say, "Wow, I can't wait for it all to be over." We've already voted so it's a done deal for us. I am SICK of hearing about "The One" and how fabulous he is. I'm even more sick of the media fawning over him and neglecting the facts that are glaring them in the face; you know, like the way he changes his tune from raising taxes on those who make $250,000 to those who make $200,000. It's not like we're in danger of being in either of those tax brackets (ever) but the principle behind it is if he's already lying and changing his colors before the election, what's he going to be like if he gets in? WAKE UP PEOPLE!

And now back to cute stories of the girls. . .

Sarah Grace has developed a habit of wanting to pray first at night and attempts to beat Lainey at all costs. We ask her what she wants to pray for, she tells us, and then she immediately launches into a prayer that sounds like she's trying to give that guy from the Micro-Machines commercials a run for his money. It often goes like this:
Sarah Grace, who do you want to pray for?
SG: IwanttoprayforyouDearLordweprayforLaineyandweprayforherandweprayforDaddy
inJesus'nameweprayamen.

Tonight as soon as she finished praying all of that she added, "Cat in the Hat!" As in "In Jesus' name we pray, amen." CAT IN THE HAT! Bet you didn't know that was part of the accepted prayer language? Turns out she had a Dr. Seuss book that she started looking at as soon as she finished praying.

And a praise to God for today: Abby took 2 great naps today!! Can't tell you how excited I was about that. Her naps have become a rarity lately and have left me weary, weary, weary. But today she napped and I napped (without the guilt of listening to her cry that I usually have) and all was right with the world! Here's hoping for the same thing tomorrow!
