Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!

It is after 9 am and I have been trying to carve out 15 minutes of quiet time since before 7 am. Why? Why oh why must there be constant interuptions in my home?!? All I want to do is have a few minutes to read God's word, pray and think through our day. Instead I am badgered by 4 year old boy, my daughters fighting, my husband needing things from me, the phone ringing, children needing things and much much more. Everyone in this house knows how important having this quiet time is to my countenance, but yet here I sit in sheer frustration! I don't want to feel this way. I hate feeling this way. I could be the poster child for the "Calgon - take me away!" commercials. I know that Calgon is not the answer. Time with my Lord is. Teach me, o Lord, how to seek you and find you amidst the chaos. Teach me to find a quiet place amidst the noise and activity. I know that all things are possible with you, dear Lord.
