"Dear God, please help Ben go back to sleep"
"Dear God, please help Landon go back to sleep"
"Dear God, please let me get a few hours of sleep tonight"
"Dear God, help me to remember how blessed I am to have two beautiful, healthy boys."
"Dear God, please help me to be patient and know that this too shall pass."
My prayers are usually a variation/combination of the above. It has been a rough few weeks. Teething, I have decided, is a creation of the devil. Landon was up until 3-ish this morning. Went something like this...screaming in pain, dozing off, wimpering in his sleep, repeat. I finally got him into bed, followed by getting myself into bed, for about 3 hours of sleep until it was time to get up and get ready for work. I left the house this morning to the sound of Landon once again screaming. Poor thing was exhuasted and just wouldn't let go.
This parenting thing sure is a test of every ounce of strength I have.
This is how I feel at work right now...

I hope you are able to catch up on your zzzzzzz.... soon!
I have been saying that same thing to myself over and over again, "This too shall pass, This too shall pass, This too shall pass". And it's TRUE. *hugs* You can make it through this.
Thanks Jan...and {hugs} to you too!! :)
Poor babies! I bet it is heart breaking to hear them in so much pain. Hugs to you!
Mikey got his 2 month vaccinations yesterday - 4 of them! He was miserable all afternoon and woke up several times during the night blubbering away in his crib. I can only imagine how much worse teething will be! Good luck!
Oh my Mandy, I feel for you! My Lizzy is teething too. I say the same thing, this too shall pass! I'm thinking of you!
