Praying for Sleep

Hello everyone and God Bless you all. In December 2011, three of my grandchildren moved in with me, NO! not by choice but because my daughter made some very bad decisions in her life and when the courts told her to rethink them, she refused so they removed her children from her home. And here they are living with grandmother. The odd thing about this is, I can remember when I was younger, I would see grandparents trying to raise and keep up with their grandchildren and my heart would go out to them. I would wonder why would a child put all of that stress on their parents. Who could be so irresponsible to have children and then do not care for them. I told myself, I would never raise my grandchildren,(unless sickness or death) they could visit but they must return home. Well, never say never, especially when you acknowledge Jesus as your personal Savior. So here I am with an 8 month old, a 2 year old and a 4 year old. Along with my son, who will soon be 18, yes I almost made it. I saw the light of freedom at the end of the tunnel, I had so many plans after I sent my son off to college. I was going to turn his room into a sewing room and the guest room into the place I can go to study the Word and pray, my "prayer closet" some may call it. But things did not work out as I planned. I realized that my plans may not be God's plan, just like His thoughts are not like my thoughts. But I said all of that, just to say this, I am praying for sleep. I have not had a good night sleep since, December of 2011. One of the children is always getting up during the night, especially the infant. It is not a good feeling to be sleep deprived. I have lost interest in myself, I am not eating healthy nor am I excising. But today I plan to walk 2 miles and drink 8 glasses of water and I will do this everyday until I reach 130 pounds. OK, I know you wanna know how many pounds I need to drop well, I will tell you when I reach my goal. Well pray for me and God Bless.
