Everybody just STOP TALKING!
Seriously, just stop.
I don’t care who did what to your toy.
I don’t care who got to do that first last time.
I don’t care who was sitting there.
I don’t care who has that when she’s done with it.
I don’t care who took their shoes off in the car.
I do not care if that one is sandy or if that other one has chocolate on his face.
I do not care if someone is singing and you want to sing a different song.
I do not care if you have grass on your shoes.
I do NOT care if someone ALMOST hit you with something.
All I really care about right at this very moment is that you listen to my words: Go to sleep.
Right now, no more talking. I cannot handle another word. Go to sleep.
God, give me a moment to inhale a bit of quiet. I need healing and rest.
I need you to make me care again. Amen.
