I can feel my TEMPERature rising...

As I was getting the girls ready for bed tonight (by myself...Aaron had to work late) I was getting very frustrated. I was so tired and just wanted to get them in bed, but everything was taking so long. To top it off we couldn't find the "silkies" (the girls' security blankets that are a necessity for bedtime) anywhere. I literally searched the whole house for them, meanwhile Eve was crying, "Silky...Silky." After not finding the silkies anywhere, I lost my temper (a phrase which Grace often confuses with temperature.) I told the girls we were just going to forget about the silkies, say prayers and go straight to bed without any book tonight since it was already so late. Grace said the prayer, and in addition to asking Heavenly Father to help her be able to sleep without her silky and find it in the morning, she also asked that He "help Mommy find her Temperature" (because of course I had lost it!) That instantly changed my mood and I was no longer mad...how could I be after such sincerity. After crawling into bed Grace found her silky under her covers and could not stop giggling about how funny that was, and although we have yet to find Eve's silky she was satisfied to take my slip to bed as a replacement. So all and all, everyone went to bed happy...and Mom got her temperature back!
