It was a gloomy, cold day on Easter.  Luckily, I had purchased the matching sweaters to the beautiful dresses.  We celebrated our dinner on Saturday because one of my brothers had to leave during the day before we could have a nice family meal.  It was nice to get together with family even if we…

There are some days that just go almost perfectly.  Our day started as all Fridays do with daily mass.  After mass, the homeschool group congregated in the parish hall for snacks and fellowship.  We outlasted the older crowd and were booted out so the hall could be cleaned up for an event tomorrow.  Our group…

I posted about my mother and her health.  It’s taken a while, but we have the neurologists diagnosis.  First, let me thank you all for your prayers.  The neurologist doesn’t think it’s a clot.  He actually doesn’t know what it is, but that it’s been there for a long time.  The other symptoms my mother…

This year our parish had their children’s mass on Christmas morning.

My nephew was discharged this evening after emptying his bladder for the first time in days.  We are all so relieved.  Thank you all for your prayers.  I know they helped tremendously.

Pumpkin has had a cough for about 2 months now.  It had been going away, but last night it came back full force.  She coughed all night, all morning and all day.  I tried to get her an appointment in the Pediatric Clinic we’re assigned to, but they had no appointments today.  I tried calling…

So, yesterday, Brother was upset about something and he was crying.  He stopped and says to me, "Mommy, I tasted a tear."  Me:  "You did?"  Brother:  "It tastes like pee."
