If it's not one thing, it's another

So last night I ended up taking Pat to the ER for his breathing. For about the last week he has been having a lot of trouble breathing easy. This is all due to his allergies, they are really bad this year around here. Our health is not something that we can put on hold, try as we might, it's just not safe. I had been trying for the last week to take him in to get a breathing treatment done but he just would not go, last night things got worse so he finally agreed to go in.
The frustrating part is that we have a loan from a friend that we are trying to pay back as fast as possible. Yes we have already paid back half in one month, but we feel like we should not put any money in savings to fall back on until this friend is paid back. Some may agree some may not.
Last night Pat was not able to get to bed until after 12am, he normally goes to bed at 7:30pm to get up for work at 2:30am, out the door by 3:30am and at work by 5am. Well he went in late to work today, which means his paycheck will be smaller. That then throws a kink into the whole paying back my friend plan, and getting money into savings for falling back on.
Pat is working overtime right now, I would really like to have enough money in savings to cover one months paychecks for a "just in case" fund. I know it will happen sooner then latter, but right now with the way things keep going it just feels like later then sooner.
I'm sure, no I know, this is all part of Gods plan for us, just not really sure what part it is just yet. I know that I need to keep my faith strong and He will show us the path He wants us to take.
Some times those are easier said then done.

So today I pray this
" Dear Lord, hear my prayers. Help me to keep my faith strong in you Lord. I know that I am not perfect and I know that you know that as well. I feel weak at times Lord and I need your help to be strong in You. Help me Lord to see the path that You want me to take. Lead me Lord, mold me the way You want me to be. You are my Father and I your child. I love You Lord and have faith and trust in You. Help me from going astray from You Lord. Guild me, teach me, use me, and love me. Help me to be the mom that You want me to be. Help me to teach my kids in Your ways Lord. Please place Your hand on Pat this day and heal him, make it easier for him to breath easy Lord. Help me stay strong with my faith in You. Help me Lord I am weak and You are strong. Keep me safe, keep my family safe, watch over all of them Lord
Amen

Kids, and life happens.

Since we have moved I feel like I can be a better mom to the kids. They are getting only one set of rules to live by, so no more confusion for them. When they go to Grandma's house they have Grandma's rules unless mom is over there, then Grandma follows moms rules. My parents tried but sometimes I felt they could of tried harder to follow the rules that Pat and I laid out for them. I understand that it's hard for them, since they want to be Nana and Baba, but they should of understood that it was best for the kids for everyone to be on the same page when it came to the rules for the kids to follow.
Since we have been here bed times are getting easier, slowly but surely, they are starting to listen to me better as well. We are getting into our own little routine here and it's working out nicely.
