Ever since I became Catholic it has become clearer and clearer to me that being Catholic means having drama. There is always a debate about something going on. Whether it is about abortion, contraception, whether or not to go to invalid weddings, to hold hands or not to hold hands during the Our Father, immigration, whether it is smart to say that your future spouse will never do X or the many other things that Catholics argue about. One day... Read more
It seems that my blog post for Catholic Stand may have given a few people the idea that I don’t think marriage is beautiful and that mine is “sad” and a chore for me. So, let me clear up a few things. Anyone who thinks that I don’t love my husband and realize that marriage is beautiful has obviously not read my blog much. There are examples here, here and here, that show how beautiful my marriage really is. It... Read more
1. Sooo, I have been cheating terribly on my Lenten fast. That really shouldn’t be news to anyone who reads my blog. I have stayed off of most Social Media, but I found a blog post by Simcha Fisher and it sent me down the rabbit hole of a blog battle. Honestly, I think that everyone is saying “blog battle” because Jennifer Fulwiler brought up rap battles. Anyway, I entered into the ring of the battle and wrote this piece.... Read more
I really have debated on whether or not to blog through Lent. I really need silence and that is why I have gotten off all Social Media, including Instagram. It’s also why I have quit doing any pro-life work, other than helping people who contact me personally. I never shut up. That means that I am always talking to someone about something. But one thing that I’ve realized lately is that all that talking keeps me from listening to God.... Read more
I have never finished anything in my life. It’s kind of my thing, which is why when I tell my husband I want to sell our house and move to the ghetto so I can start a foundation to help gang members, he kind of just goes with it. The chances of me forgetting it in a few days is completely possible. BUT I’m trying to change that. I finished RCIA and now I finished this 7 posts in 7... Read more
I didn’t write my post for yesterday. I just simply didn’t feel like writing anything. All day long I had this horrible feeling. I didn’t really know what it was, but I just wanted to chill. I spent the afternoon and evening talking to my kids. We watched and X-Men movie and we had dinner and talked and laughed. My kids are the funniest people on the planet. So, I’ll try to write another post today to make up for... Read more
1. I decided to take up Jennifer’s 7 posts in 7 days challenge this week and I’ve come to see just how much I enjoy writing. I also see how much being on Facebook helps me flesh out my thoughts to write and then writing helps me really sort things out. I can not deal with an issue without thinking and writing about it. Or discussing it with people who disagree with me. But writing is my therapy. It is... Read more
All this talk about baking cakes for gay weddings has me so sad and angry. Both sides, the gay side and the Christian side are making me wonder if anyone in this country ever listens to one another or if we have just given up on listening and have become perpetual 2 yr olds who yell at one another. If people in this world have forgotten what marriage is, it is because Christians stopped living the Sacrament a long time... Read more
I was thinking and thinking about what to give up for Lent. I’ve heard the rumors that it’s coming up, but I keep sticking my fingers in my ear and pretend I am not hearing it. Too bad that I’m addicted to the frackin’ internet so I read these rumors. It would be much easier to avoid them if I cut off my WiFi. Before you get all “Well, there you go, that’s what you can give up for Lent”,... Read more
Because I’ve blogged about some serious things, I figured I should write a post that shows a lighter side of my life and of myself. So here are a few of the things that I love that I have never written about. ***If after my Hoe to Housewife post, any of these things offends you, then you’re weird. Just sayin’ **My Favorite Band** My favorite band is Seether. That is a really hard thing for me to say because I love... Read more
