God, Give Me Grace

I remember my mother standing by her sliding closet door and saying "God, give me grace"--I must have been testing her. 

The day only just began and I'm asking for the same gift. After much prodding about brushing teeth, getting dressed and eating breakfast, I cursed when Punch took out my eye shadow palette and started brushing some on and then draped her plastic horse with a rope of pearls rather than focus on the task at hand.

"Remember how small they are"--one of my favorite observations about children.

When I'm mean, I'm quickly full of remorse. I fear Punch will have a bad day and it will be my fault.
