Parents' Prayer for Sanity!!

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my sanity to keep.
For if some peace I do not find,
I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind.

I pray I find a little quiet
Far from the daily family riot
May I lie back-not have to think
about what they're stuffing down the sink,
or who they're with, or where they're at
and what they're doing to the cat.

I pray for time all to myself
(did something just fall off a shelf?)
To cuddle in my nice, soft bed
(Oh no, another goldfish-dead!)

Some silent moments for goodness sake
(Did I just hear a window break?)
And that I need not cook or clean-
(well heck, I've got the right to dream)

Yes now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my wits about me keep,
But as I look around I know-
I must have lost them long ago!

If you have other parents who will relate to this please pass it on.
If you are a grandparent,
pass it to your kids and chuckle
- this is revenge time!! LOL
