Prayer Request for My Family

As most of you that read my blog know, I started my new job. My job requires that I complete 12 weeks of training. (Thankfully more training will follow before I am “really” on my own.) Part of this training also requires that I be away from DH and my children.

Which means….DH is home alone with six children.

Children that are special needs.

One child is diabetic. One has multiple dx’s that include RAD, ODD, FAS, ADHD…among others. But there are TWO with a RAD dx combined with ODD and ADHD. Not to mention our other little ADHD kiddo and a TWO YEAR OLD that is most definitely in the TERRIBLES! So if you are familiar with these dx’s, you  have an idea of the torture  challenges that DH is facing while I am gone.

I think he has found a new appreciation for me…that is an outstanding plus. But it has me worried for his sanity. On Friday he said he had to take a mental health break from work. I had only been gone four days.

I told him that I can get a responsible teenage to come in here on the days that I am gone to help the kids with homework and get them ready for bed. But he is refusing.

Let’s just say he is a worse control freak than I am….S’rsly…he is a huge control freak.  I won’t be here to “balance” him. So we need your prayers.

To make matters worse we have a preteen who is trying to triangulate and it is throwing some wrenches into our routine and disrupting the whole thing. Which makes everyone angry and frustrated. We had a rough patch this evening.

I want peace in my house. So pray for peace!

NOT PATIENCE!!!

PLEASE DO NOT PRAY FOR PATIENCE!

I learned my lesson on that one! In His wisdom, He throws those wrenches to TEACH you patience! I have had enough lessons on that for my life time. I just need PEACE!!!

Thank you!

I leave again on Tuesday night for the rest of the work week. So DH could really use the prayers. I would love for him to see the wisdom in having someone come into help.
