A week in review

hmmmmm. Blogger seems to be having great difficulty this evening. I was hoping to finally sit down (while nursing) and upload some pictures but, alas, twas not meant to be. I will say though that it’s been a busy week… THREE birthdays (Kathryn’s, Thomas’, and finally Marie’s today.), some homeschooling, a doctor’s visit for Grace, … [Read more…]

Answers to prayer

Prayer whispered yesterday evening: “St. Therese, please pray for me that these panic attacks will go away.“ Guess what just started blooming on my rose bush this morning… Bear in mind that this particular bush hasn’t had any roses on it in, oh, several months now… (excuse the bad picture. I had to take it … [Read more…]

Panic attack, part 2

Yes, I am still dealing with this, and in fact spent most of the evening crying, praying, and running outside in an effort to not feel so “closed in.” Get this — I couldn’t even take a drink from a glass, because my face felt too “confined.” (yes, I had to drink through a straw) … [Read more…]

Panic is now setting in

…as I realize all that I have left to do. Why do so many things sneak up on us last minute? I thank all of you for your prayers. I will be relying heavily on knowing I’m being prayed for when they wheel me into the operating room on Thursday!

Awards Time!!

Sick…. again….

The kids got it this weekend, so now we’re all sort of melting into the furniture — finding a comfortable spot, covering up with a blanket, and dozing … [Read more…]

Never forget

What were you doing, 6 years ago, when the towers fell and life as we knew it changed forever? I was in my room, playing with my (then) almost 4 yr old Sean. He had been asking me all week long about planes, and what would happen if they accidentally hit something. Strange questions, I … [Read more…]

More toy recalls

Yet another toy recall — this time involving Barbie items and GeoTrax trains. It’s making old-fashioned wooden toys (and higher quality toys) look better and better all the time, don’t you think?

A Night at the Movies

Stop on over to Danielle Bean’s website and see what other moms have been watching lately… I’ve gotten so many good recommendations, I have FIFTEEN movies in my Netflix queue now! (good grief!) That’s OK… in just a few weeks I’ll be on the couch, recovering from my c-section (AND staying up most of the … [Read more…]
