Gosh, I love this feast day, don’t you? It’s one of those feasts where I try really, really hard to get to Mass, even if it means waking the kids up at 6:30 to make it out the door by 7:00.(I had made them waffles with blackberry jam, as per Jessica’s recommendation, and that lessened the sting considerably.)Except that that George of mine didn’t … [Read more...]

Food for Thought…and a Thank You
“Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest.” Galatians 6:9 Ann left a comment on yesterday’s post via Facebook, saying, in part, that blogging my way through [some of the painful stuff] allows me to call on the Church Militant and my friends to give my soul the support it needs. Isn’t that beautiful? Ann is … [Read more...]
This Valley of Tears
I have been a very unpredictable blogger lately—posting, pulling, posting, pulling. Okay, so, those of you that know me will say, this isn’t all that unpredictable! I’ve always been flighty and full of self-doubt…and yet, despite the insecurities, have tried to keep things “real” on this blog. You have told me that you appreciate this—my keeping … [Read more...]
One Woman’s Daybook
Outside my window...Rather a gray day…not much wind at all and temps in the low 60’s. The paper says that the high today will be 82—perfect!—and then it says a lot of stuff about the government shutdown in my state.That’s outside my window too. Do not much care for it.I am thinking......about the Norwex party that I went to last night and about … [Read more...]
Summer Fun, Schedules, and Heart-Stopping Shrieks

July...…and because we’ve only just returned from three lovely days in the great state of North Dakota...(please don’t be jealous...)…and because we are celebrating quietly but joyously with supper on the deck & smoke bombs … [Read more...]
43 & Wisdom-Free
Okay, so actually I’m forty-four.But that doesn’t rhyme now, does it?Can you tell it’s swollen? Or do I just look fat?I tried very hard to get a picture of my puffy, wisdom-toothless cheek this morning because, after all, if you can’t blog it then what’s it worth? Jem took the above photo……and I took this one, which in turn prompted Angela to … [Read more...]
Up…or down?

A Very Fast Friday Meditation
aka Stream of ConsciousnessDo you ever cry out of guilt for your sins of omission? And then despair of ever being a saint? I do, all the time. And then, being human, I look around desperately for someone—or something—to take the blame, because I can’t bear the weight of being so darned imperfect. Usually, it’s the computer—as in, how dare I spend … [Read more...]
