Night-time Prayers

Dear Daddy,

We have been having some trouble getting boys to bed for some time now. Of course, it is our own fault. I'm so tired at night that it is just easier to fall asleep in their bed. So, last night we got home late and Jamie and I just made the decision to let the boys sleep with us. We all got snuggled in and Jamie said, "Mommy do you want to say the night time prayers?" I told him he could say them. He then asked James and he replied with "I don't want to, you do it." Then Thomas piped up and said "I will pray." We all got quite and then after a few moments of silence Thomas said "I don't hear anything?" Jamie told him, "son it's because you actually have to say something." He then told him, "I don't want to pray you do it daddy." So Jamie started the prayer and when it was almost over, I guess Thomas realized he would soon have to close his eyes and go to sleep, he started telling him what to pray for. "pray for me to not get sick, and the chairs, and the trees, and hmm let me think, think, think, think..." At that point I told him, "honey let Daddy finish the prayer so we can go to sleep." He wasn't happy with it, but at last we could finish the 30-minute long night-night prayer.

I brought Katherine to Mom's today. She is staying with her for several days. Man is she excited. She is in heaven. She can scrapbook, watch all the Hannah Montana she wants, eat junk, stay up late, and best of all Whitney isn't here to boss her around. Ahh, the life.

Tomorrow I am putting in applications at several hospitals. Mom worked on my resume and has it looking very impressive. Do you think you could pull some strings for me and get me just the right job, with the right pay?

I love you Dad!
