Quiet Please

summer200920056

I try to read my Bible every morning. Ideally I would like to get up EARLY, before the children are up, and have my quiet time with God. Unfortunately, I stay up too late working on projects and housework that an early “rise and shine” is only a dream. So what happens is I end up reading while everyone is awake. Of course it takes twice as long to read with all the interruptions even though my children are fully aware they should not interrupt mama unless I need to take them to the emergency room or the house is on fire. I was so frustrated the other day that one of my children had some compassion on me and wrote this sign for all to see. Not that it really helped, but it did cause quite a discussion among the children and a few laughs from adults. Someday the house will be too quiet and I will miss all those interruptions.

    I love the idea of a sign… any idea for those of us with at least two little ones whom can’t read and don’t take threats?
