Chloe's seeking power from the world, Caleb's power lately derives from an evil anger monster, and Conrad uses his power to punch any face that will welcome it. She tries to wear short skirts I'm constantly telling her to pull down, Caleb clenches his teeth and burrows his brow in his eye sockets with a grunt, and the wee one giggles upon each punch. 
So many sources invade our children on a daily basis: society, emotions, innate behaviors. And by the end of the day, after teaching how to present yourself, how to cope, and how to behave for over 9 hours to ears that hear 1% of what you say, what energy do we have left to keep going? 
I propose, us parents, need a higher power to help us through. This is one reason I rely on God. His energy keeps me going right when I ask. When I feel I have nothing left, He is there.
Today's Prayer: "Lord, as You know, Conrad's very into cords and sockets, but he plugs the USB cord into the light socket and the computer cord into his belly button. (Clearly a subconscious indication that his main power source is still his mommy :)). He, along with others, may be confused as to who is powering them up and keeping them going. I pray it's made clear that it is You."
