Vacation officially starts today

Vacation officially starts today as K's exams ended this afternoon.

Vacation means I can have a few more hours of sleep everyday but vacation also means I have three kids that are as hyper as those that are on sugar high. It doesn't help too that our senior yaya told us JUST THE OTHER DAY that she is resigning effective TODAY. Talk about two weeks notice.

Vacation officially starts today and I'm now wondering if I should start stocking up on Xanax.

P.S.
I just found the school's memo and next school year doesn't start until the 3rd week of June. Oh God, please give me enormous strength to survive the next three months.

My Birthday So far...

So, it's my birthday today and I started it with

A Birthday Prayer:

Thank you, God, for giving me another year of life.
Thank you for all the people who remembered me today
by sending cards, and letters, gifts and good wishes.

Thank you for all the experience of this past year;
for times of success which will always be happy memories,
for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness and of my need for you,
for times of joy when the sun was shining,
for times of sadness which drove me to you.

Forgive me
for the hours I wasted,
for the chances I failed to take,
for the opportunities I missed this past year.
Help me in the days ahead to make this the best year yet,
and through it to bring good credit to myself,
happiness and pride to my loved ones,
and joy to you. Amen.

P.S.
Papa God, I know that when I asked you for Patience You would give me a lot of opportunities to practice on it. If my wish still stands, could I please revise it a little? Would you just please teach me how to be a little patient instead? After all, I knew from the beginning that to be "the world's most patient mom" was a long shot. I'd greatly appreciate it too, if I don't get to practice on my Patience lessons every other hour of everyday. Thank you, Papa God. Love, Tintin
