A dear friend of mine is a psychologist who works with abused children. She wrote me this morning and asked what I would say to a boy who was abused/molested by his father about if there is a God, why did He let this happen to me. Below is my response to her. She liked it, so I thought you might, too. P.S. Please pray for her patient as he struggles through his pain. This is just off the top... Read more

I know that I’ve written about vomit for the last 4 days, and you may be tired of reading about it. The thing is..my life has BEEN vomit for the last four days. There’s no pretty way around that. It just is what it is. Now that I consider it, my life the last few years (11 or so) have seen a significant amount of time on my knees….umm….worshiping the great white porcelain god in the bathroom. I spend at... Read more

My secret New Year’s resolution was to lose 5 pounds. I didn’t want to tell anyone, because I didn’t need the pressure. Now here It is January 4th and I just want to say “Mission Accomplished!” All it took was 2 1/2 days of a nasty stomach bug and I’m down 5 1/2. Woo-hoo! It hasn’t been pleasant, but it’s been real. I’d like to thank my boss, Linda, from my part-time holiday job for making this possible. You see,... Read more

I love that my three readers all want for me to succeed with my bitchy New Year’s resolution. I find it freakin’ hilarious that people think I need bitch lessons. I guess there is a little of the “B” in all of us just looking for a way to escape. Resolution Update: It’s not going too well today. Two of the Little Kids and their father have a stomach bug and I have been cleaning vomit off the bathroom floor... Read more

Happy New Year to the two or three people who read this humble blog. I have been thinking all week about New Year’s resolutions. They are kind of silly, and people hardly ever stick to them, so why bother? First of all, because it is a tradition. People ask what is your resolution, and we feel as if we need to have an answer. Second, and more importantly, is the deep desire in all of us to better ourselves, our... Read more

Our littlest little kid is on the move, so watch out world! The lure of the low hanging Christmas ornaments proved to be too much for #5 and he began actually crawling on Christmas Eve. He still doesn’t like it. He prefers whining until someone comes and picks him up or gives him what he wants, but he can do it if he thinks no one is around. At 8 months old and 24 lbs, it’s time he started to... Read more

my loved ones gave to me time at Mass filled with joy, prayer and gratitude. As you can imagine, going to Mass with 5 children is not always the most peaceful even in their parents lives. Imagine my surprise and delight this morning when everyone was good in Mass. The 3 year old came with us instead of into the nursery. She bowed and genuflected in all the right spots (she watched the rest of us to see how it... Read more
