O Almighty Eternal God, look upon the face of Thy Son, and for the love of Him Who is the Eternal High-priest, have mercy on Thy priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the Bishop's hands. Keep them close to Thee, … [Read more...]
L’Innocence
I had a lighthearted little post on deck for today and I may still publish it tomorrow or Thursday, but after seeing a headline in the Pioneer Press this morning...and gathering Cate into my arms & starting to cry... I need to write about Truth and persecution. There is a part of me that can't handle reading the paper anymore. It's not … [Read more...]
Respect LIFE
Our priest talked about Respect Life Sunday during his homily today, and that reminded me to tell you that... October Baby is on Netflix Instant View right now! My older girls and I watched it last night. Loved it every bit as much as the first time. Happy Sunday, everyone! Have a blessed & beautiful week. … [Read more...]
On a Lighter Note
[Or not] I took these photos after dropping Joe, Jem and Cate off at school yesterday morning. Clearly my issues with snacking on the go continue. Not really. In truth, it was Family Appreciation Day, and the faculty was handing out coffee and donuts. “Oh!” I said to my son’s Lit-Comp teacher. “I’ve got, like, 18 kids at home! Can I have … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
Weighing in with this proclamation: my weight hasn't budged. Not an ounce. Okay, so it has budged an ounce. It's gone one ounce up...and one ounce down. Three ounces up...two ounces down...ten ounces up... And so on. I recently left a comment over at Jenn's blog (on one of her wonderful Little House posts) saying, "Sometimes I want to throw in … [Read more...]
Over the River and through the Woods
A Sewing Weekend So... Friday night found me feeling puny, and thus the whiny post about the low-comment day. Forgive me! "I'd had a glass of wine," I explained in an email to Charlotte on Saturday. "As such, I was feeling forward." "Don't let Drunk You blog!" she wrote back. It's true. Drunk Tipsy Me speaks her mind too freely, and I … [Read more...]
Tempted…
...on low-comment days to think this blog is all stuff and nonsense. There is more to me than a ghoulish green face, I promise! Today is the anniversary of finding out about our Jem. Fifteen years ago & there you go...a positive pregnancy test on the Feast of St. Francis that filled this momma's heart with joy. We spent the day (it was a … [Read more...]
Scenes from the Feast
Okay, first of all? Going to see Wicked with my daughter Cate was not--I repeat, not--in the birthday budget. This is why I married the man that I did. If I had married a man like me, this blog would have a very different name. Hooverville Mom. That has a really nice ring, don't you think? Also, Cate assured me that I would be extremely popular … [Read more...]
In Praise of Being Mrs. B.
This is me, Mrs. B., wishing you were here with me. Photo Credit: Kaylee R. We could share a cup of tea. Or better yet... A large coffee. Why? 'Cause today is my birthdee! Huh. Something about that last line just doesn't work. In any case, yes, today is my birthday. I am one year older than the last time I blogged … [Read more...]
Autumn Anecdotal [Reprised]
A Semi—scratch that—Totally Insane Narrative Hey everyone, it’s Monday! Are you ready to conquer the brand new week? Are your ducks in a row and is your goose in the oven? Me, neither. And anyway, I think my goose is already cooked. My Life. The school kids and all their…stuff has us hopping. Seriously, I do not love our big white … [Read more...]
