My 3am Prayer

My 3am prayer sounds like this. Ironically, it is also my 1am prayer, my 2am prayer, my 4am prayer.... You get the idea.

Dear God,
PLEASE let the babies sleep for a three-hour stretch. I really, really need some sleep. I hardly recognize myself when I look in the mirror anymore. I know you have a lot on your plate, what with the war and global warming and all, but it would sure help me out if you could make my babies sleep.

As I pray, I think about Marcia Cross. I think about how she is probably NOT reciting the same prayer. I think about how she is probably sleeping away while her nannies and night nurses tend to her twins. And I am jealous for just a moment.
