Night time struggle

Every night, I struggle with 2 girls who refused to sleep till 11 or past midnight. 

R1 will be busy watching iPad and R2 busy drinking milk and staring blankly into space till she feels like sleeping. I think she’s waiting for her sister to sleep so that it won’t be so bright and noisy. So well, means we can only wait for R1 to sleep then R2 can sleep! 

Here’s to show how awake these 2 girls were at 11plus going to 12. Yawnz.... 

So before sleeping, they were still happy. When it’s time to sleep, the jealousy will kick in. R1 wants me to hug and scratch her back. R2 wants me to latch her to sleep. So who should I attend to first? 

If I attend to R1 first, R2 will cry and R1 won’t be able to sleep. If I attend to R2 first, R1 will throw tantrum and cry because I didn’t hug and scratch her back.. 😖 

Since R1 is bigger, can reason with her. I told her if I hug her and scratch for her first, meimei will cry and then everyone can’t sleep. So wait a while for me to settle meimei first then I can hug and scratch all she wants. So you think she’s a sensible girl right? Wrong!! She will purposely slam her legs hard on the bed, make the sad sounds of pity, move closer to us and try to squash meimei. Because of these, R2 couldn’t sleep too! It’s really frustrating to go through this cycle every night. 

Dear God, 

Please give me a solution to this. Help R1 to be sensible enough to not be jealous over this. I also want to hug her and scratch her back for her. But I can’t. I hope she understands. 

Also, R2 has been having difficulty in breathing. Thank You for the assurance from the PD that she is fine with just sensitive nose. I pray that You will help her clear her congested nose and take away all the sensitivity. Help her to have a good night sleep every night. I pray for her to be well and grow up healthy and strong.

I am currently having very painful blocked ducts in my left breast. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to unclog the blocked ducts. I pray for a miraculous touch from God to clear all the blocked ducts! God is able and He is willing. I believe and I trust! 

In Jesus’ most precious name I pray all these, Amen!
