Ode to Moms....

So what if my baby is not sleeping through the night, and my older two often argue and fight? So what if my hair is not styled or even brushed? And the kids and I leave the house very rushed? So what if my house is a clutter filled pit? And you have to move Legos and dolls just to sit? Sometimes I get my daughter to preschool late. And sometimes my diet isn't too great. Sometimes I let my kids watch too much t.v., play too much on the computer, or too much on the Wii. But I, just like all moms, am doing my best. And even though I'm not perfect, I feel very blessed. For we have all we need, we have food and a house. I have happy healthy children, and a wonderful spouse. So even though life doesn't go just as I've planned it......I'm doing the very best I can, dammit!!

God and Santa must be in cahoots.

Noah is celebrating his First Reconciliation this Saturday. He was talking about it with me a couple days ago and he said he was nervous to talk to the priest. I said "oh, you have nothing to be nervous about, you talk to Fr. Pat all the time. You just tell him a couple of your sins and then God will forgive them." After our little talk he was VERY excited about his First Reconciliation. Seth told me tonight that Noah had told him he was excited because his sins would be forgiven right before Christmas! He will be on Santa's nice list for sure!! What perfect timing!!
