A Good Fortune ...

"In dreams and in life, nothing is impossible"

That was today's fortune from the cookie that I had here . My dear husband had to leave for a trip and forgot something at home, so we met halfway and took the 3 girls to lunch. It was a great treat and nice little break. By the way, this restaurant chain is soooooooo yummy. My little {c} was a perfect angel and thoroughly enjoyed her honey seared shrimp and rice (shared with mommy).

BACK TO MY FORTUNE ...

I really need to make the effort to be more positive. My life is filled with many, MANY blessings and for that I am thankful. I KNOW that I dwell on negatives too much. Sometimes the negatives have absolutely nothing to do with me, but I let them permeate me. This has got to be one of my biggest flaws. I need to let go, be happy, and look for the positives.

SO HERE IS ONE GREAT POSITIVE that I am praying for (and I could use all the prayers that anyone else would like to send my way). This has to do with my husband. The other day I went to the Church volunteer fair and picked up a variety of stuff. One of the pamphlets I took was for the R.C. I. A. program. My husband knows what it is, and we have spoke of it a few times, but when I half heartedly threw the pamphlet to him, he said that he almost went to the meeting this past week, but he got caught up at work with his boss. My jaw dropped. Could my subtle suggestions all these years actually be WORTH my breath and time?????? R. C. I. A. meets on Wednesday evenings, and next week I will take my husband to one. THIS IS SO HUGE. I have a WONDERFUL marriage, but this would be icing. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY ....

Go directly to your local Catholic book store and purchase a GREEN Scapular and stick it in his wallet. PRAY PRAY PRAY... and say a novena or two to St. Monica.

After 15 years of marriage Carl one day said "I am going to meet with Fr. D" So I know that God listens to EVERY prayer!

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
