Quotes from my dh over the past 24 hours: “Babe, you look so tired. Why don’t you just check into a hotel and get away from the house for a day or two so you can rest? Don’t worry about the kids… they’ll be fine!” I didn’t take him up on this offer, but I … [Read more…]
I’ve been rather sparse in my blogging lately. I do apologize. Here, for my faithful few readers (God love ya, as my grandmother used to say), are some of this week’s highlights: Had my ultrasound. The baby looks fine, healthy, right on track… and it’s a little girl. Let’s just say that half of the … [Read more…]
Kristen over at Small Treasures wrote a beautiful post entitled “The Secret to Freedom.” I hope you can all go read it… I have found myself recently feeling quite sorry for myself. As many of you are aware, I am turning 40 next week. As I’ve been thinking back over my 30s, I have been … [Read more…]
Comments made throughout the weekend… dh: [while eating a dessert I made] “Honey, it’s a good thing you cook such healthy food. Otherwise, I think I’d weigh 500 lbs…” Christopher: [at the dinner table last night] “I can’t wait until I grow up and God gives me lumpy muscles!” Reilly: [after she was tucked in … [Read more…]

Thank God, they took Marie out with them, and I was able to catch up on some serious laundry without having little ones constantly underfoot. After folding yet another load, I was curious … [Read more…]

Christopher, talking to Thomas in the car: “You have to be careful when you get on the top bunk. In fact, I remember when I fell off the top bunk and landed on my head… …oh wait a minute, that wasn’t ME…. That was YOU.”
Sorry… you wouldn’t want me to call you sweetie, now would you? (but who could resist with that face?) Here’s to my sweet, wonderful little boy who is now FIVE years old! Five years old and you keep us in stitches. No matter what the situation, we can count on you to make a statement … [Read more…]
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! We don’t enjoy being sick any … [Read more…]
Fantasy: well-scrubbed, beautiful little cherubs going to 8:00 AM Mass tomorrow morning to celebrate the resurrection of Our Savior, followed by an Easter Egg Hunt in our back yard and Easter baskets for everyone. Reality: Sick kids, dh and I have no idea how we’re going to arrange for US to even go to Mass … [Read more…]
