What?!!! It's December?

parties & swim meets & recitals  OH MY!

working & baking & concerts OH MY!

All this and more has made the time fly

the dishes & laundry are piled real high

the cupboards are empty~ i just want to cry

so overwhelmed i could crawl in a hole

no time for whinning, i must gain control

so i'll reach deep inside and take in some air

as i bow my head and say a little prayer...

Are you there God, it's me Paula.  I know YOU are there, YOU always are. I sometimes forget about that though and become totally overwhelmed.  Please help me to control what I can, accept what I cannot, and discern the difference between the two.  I think serenity is the answer to my prayers and I would just ask that you grant me that so that I may get through the next few crazy weeks.  Help me to focus on the reason for the season and make the most of every moment, both crazy and serene.  AMEN
