New blog on my roll
I haven’t had much time to sit down and write this week… sick kids, Bible study, and meetings have taken up most of my evenings so far. However, I would like to point out a “new” (to me) blog that I’ve put on my blogroll — Profound Gratitude. (thanks to Fr. Dwight Longenecker from Standing … [Read more…]
Burnout
We’ve all been there. We’ve all felt it. The “dear-God-I-just-can’t-be-a-Mommy-today” sort of mood that settles over us, and we find ourselves turning into screeching harpies — barking orders at the kids, shoveling chocolate in our mouths to make us “feel better,” and generally turning the atmosphere in our homes into a “not so nice place … [Read more…]
Well, praise God!
We all made it to Mass after all. I feel guilty, because I cannot *stand* it when people bring their sick kids out in public — I understand that sometimes it simply cannot be helped, but otherwise, PLEASE keep them home so they don’t contaminate the rest of us!

The media mostly forgets … [Read more…]
First Confession
Jennifer over at Et Tu, Jen? describes so eloquently her experience receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. May God shower all those who are entering the Church at the Easter Vigil with His grace, mercy, and JOY!
Stations of the Cross… updated
I moved the previous stations up to this post, so we could have them all in order. First, our parish (unfortunately) does not have the stations in the normal church building (they are in the chapel next door, but I can count on one hand the number of times my children have actually *seen* the … [Read more…]
God takes care of us
As you know, I’m still pretty stressed out (financially) by this pregnancy. So much so that I’ve basically hit a mental block. I can’t go forward with plans on anything — not the house, not the car, anything. So it was such a huge blessing for me to read this from Et Tu, Jen, who … [Read more…]
