I wish… I really wish… I could introduce you all to my son Christopher. Not that my other kids aren’t wonderful too, but you just have to know Christopher to fully appreciate his sense of humor. His delivery is so dry and deadpan that you can’t tell if he really means what he’s saying, or … [Read more…]
The Feast of the Assumption Make sure to go over to Catholic Culture to see more about this feast day!
Updated (see below) My computer has crashed… and no, I didn’t back stuff up. My dh, God bless him, will hopefully pull a miracle out of his pocket and save the day, Knowing the kind of man he is, he will keep the “What were you thinking??” and the “I told you so’s” out of … [Read more…]
Just a quick note here (since I am supposed to be finishing up the planning for this week’s homeschooling!) Elizabeth Foss some time ago… I’m not sure when… recommended the Adoremus Hymnal. It sounded like a great CD for us to get, so I bought it. I’m so glad I did. Perhaps you live in … [Read more…]

Subtitled: Ouiz grows up just a little bit. I have very strong opinions about a lot of things, as those who know me well can attest. I could give you example after example, but for now I’ll stick with just this one: what my family should and should not do when I am working. If … [Read more…]
UPDATED to fix some mixed-up links! Isn’t that a great title? Yea, I was pretty proud of it myself… (not really…) Thankfully, Grace is now back to her ornery, monkey-like self. I’ve had the joy of having my little ankle-biter (oh, you think I’m kidding, don’t you?) follow me around the house today, attacking me whenever I … [Read more…]
…that is, once Grace gets over whatever disease she has. It’s just a virus, but one that causes her fever to shoot up to ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR degrees in the middle of the night (dear God!) I’ve already taken her to the doctor to run through the usual suspects… it’s not strep, and not … [Read more…]
