I went to see my doctor today because I’ve been feeling very tired.(This could have something to do with the fact that I’ve got six kids and one of them, an Angela.)(I dunno. It’s tough to say.) They drew several vials of my blood (Hooray! Instant weight loss!) and are going to check my levels for vitamin D, vitamin B12, thyroid hormone and Easter … [Read more...]
Monday Monday
What I heard: “Mommy, may I have a Fun Dip?”What I said: “No, you may not have a Fun Dip. It’s 8:00 a.m.!”What she actually said: “Mommy, do you hear the thunder?”The day can only get better from here. … [Read more...]
For all the Moms
Have you updated your Facebook profile with a photo of your mom yet?I have. Here it is:As I remarked over there in a conversation with Betty, wasn’t she a looker?! This photo was one of several that got sent—surreptitiously—to my father overseas. He was a young Marine fighting for our country in World War II…and my mom, an equally young (and … [Read more...]
A First Friday Reminder
Have you made the nine First Fridays? We were in Mary’s White League when Joe & Jem were little. They made their nine First Fridays several times in a row, but now that I’ve got six in tow… Well, we haven’t been all that diligent. Thus this reminder for you and for me. We’ll go to Mass at 9:00 or at noon because this afternoon we’ve … [Read more...]

In the Mary Month of May
I can tell that it’s First Communion time because lots of people are coming to my blog via an Internet search for: First Communion Novenas; A Letter to My Daughter on her First Communion Day; and Common Loons in Minnesota (Okay, so that last one is an anomaly, I’m sure.) I am more than happy to share the letters that I … [Read more...]
Scenes from the (Triple) Feast
Okay, granted, May Day is not technically a feast.We love it just the same, especially when there is one ENORMOUS May Day basket on the table when the kids get up."Whoa, whose is that one?" they breathed in unison.(Not really.)(They actually just looked curious.)"That's for everyone," I said happily. Clearly the momma was pleased with herself."Oh." … [Read more...]
Just because…
I love this song......but also because I love surprises.The Canadian Tenors are in town tonight, actually, but we won't be there. WE will be at a First Communion, and as it's the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday...Well, I think we're choosing the better part.He is risen. Hallelujah! … [Read more...]
Overheard during the Ceremony
Cate: Look at that hat.Felicity: I thought it was a lamp! I couldn’t resist waking my princesses for the royal wedding. (My princes, not surprisingly, opted to sleep in.) Even though we followed less than 0.002 % of the coverage leading up to this day, this is history-in-the-making and it’s exciting to be a part of it.And plus I really am a … [Read more...]
