Last Easter, I couldn’t get to all the services for the Triduum because the Boy had his tonsils out on Maundy Thursday, so I missed that service. The Girl says Beloved stayed home that night, too, but I don’t remember that. She and I went to Good Friday and then she and Beloved went to …
I was a little stressed this morning. The Girl will be starting college next year and LSU has a thing called the Spring Invitational that outstanding high school seniors are invited to. She got the postcard inviting her a few weeks ago but said she wasn’t sure she wanted to go. However, the teachers started …
Well, I didn’t really wake up in a better mood. Part of it has to do with not sleeping well, and being awoken about three times in the night. Once because the Boy got scared of the storm we had and came running into our room crying, once because he and Beloved were sniffling and …
This is a repeat from my weight loss blog – Lowering the Feed Limit. It hasn’t been a good couple of days here. First off, Saturday night Beloved and the Girl had a major fight when he asked her to do the dishes. It’s kind of an ongoing fight around her to get her to …
Do I? As part of my Lenten disciplines, I am praying a rosary every day, but recently I realized that I’m saying the words (I do it while waiting in the carpool line to pick up the Boy from school) but am I really praying? Really talking to my Lord? The Girl is a wonderful …
Update on Romancechick’s family: The Girl came home from school yesterday…okay, she came home from a bowling match…actually, I drove her home yesterday after the bowling and she told me that she thought she’d failed her biology test and then she checked Edline and found out that her biology teacher gave her zeroes for work …
Well, the day turned out to be quite interesting! I did about 50 minutes on the elliptical at the Y and was feeling pretty good about things. I planned to come home, take a bath, make a salad for lunch and head off to the lab for the test. When I got home from the …
  Today I get a CAT scan done of my lungs. I’m not incredibly worried anymore, like I was when I first got the phone call telling me I needed to do this. I’m just a little stressed because the scan is scheduled for 1:30 and my daughter has a bowling match this afternoon and …
In one week, I’ll be 49 years old. Sometimes…no, make that all the time, that sounds older than I ever thought I’d get. Do you remember those Disney World ads where the teacher asks the kids if they can figure out how old they’ll be in 2000? “You’ll be about my age,” she says, and …
I hope as the days countdown to the big holiday you’re all doing well! Things here took an interesting turn Tuesday night. My inlaws arrived Tues afternoon and I’d been feel very sleepy that evening, so I took a little nap. That night as I lay down on a sofa in the rec room, my …
