My Mom Says I Saved Her Life, But She’ll Appreciate it More Later

It’s hard to imagine right now that exactly two weeks ago, my Mom was fine (or at least we thought she was), and we were gearing up for a week of visiting with my eldest sister and her family.  It’s funny how some of the most life changing things are those that you just completely [...]

A Reflection on Reconciliation From a Child

We have now been Catholic for just over three years, and I have been to the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) many times.  Perhaps not as often as is good for me, but I am always going a minimum of twice a year. Still, every time I go, I get nervous. Often, I think, “Oh man [...]

7 Quick Takes: June 11, 2010 (Vol. 42)

~ 1 ~ This week, Eric and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. My parents were very generous and offered to watch the kids as Eric and I drove out of town to go to The Melting Pot for dinner.  I had been there once (with family on a girls weekend away), and Eric had [...]

Why My Face is About Seven Shades of Red Right Now

I am behind in my Google Reader right now.  Yes, I know, this is shocking if you are a regular reader, as you all know how on the ball I am.  (Wow — that’s hard to even type without laughing.) Just on a whim, I popped onto my friend Cheryl’s blog Adventures of a Somewhat [...]

Top Ten Things I Have Been Thinking Of Lately

It seems like I have been a little aimless lately. I had been wanting to participate in Top Ten Tuesday and figured, “Hey, why not just talk about what kinds of things I have been thinking of lately?”  So, here are my random things that I have been pondering on. 1.  Am I ever going [...]

The Official Club Fun Pledge

The kids have been making clubs a lot lately.  Their latest club was called Club Fun. The reason that Club Fun is especially memorable for me is that Jack came out to tell me the Club’s pledge: I vow to Club Fun to keep each other comfort in the darkest of times, and to also [...]

7 Quick Takes: February 26, 2010 (Vol. 31)

~ 1 ~ I’ve been a total Olympics junkie.  Since I’m always a fan of late night television anyway, I have had a fabulous time watching it.  Have you been watching the Olympics too? I have to admit to being emotional when I watch it though.  Eric would say, “When aren’t you emotional?”  But, I [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 23, 2010 (Vol. 27)

~ 1 ~ It is, of course, after Friday, which is when Jen from Conversion Diary posts 7 Quick Takes.  I, however, was sad that I hadn’t posted a weekly wrap up in a few weeks.  So, I’m just doing it late. ~ 2 ~ Last night was the last Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.  [...]

Real Life Confessions: The Lack of Focus Edition

People online say it, and so do people I know in person, “Angie — you do so much.  You have it all together.  How do you do it all?” I don’t. That is — I don’t have it all together and I don’t do it all.  As a matter of fact, I’m feeling a bit [...]

And She Wasn’t Even Close to Being Six Years Old

Molly turned five this fall.  Even before her birthday, we were already agreeing on what we would buy her for her sixth birthday — the American Girl doll Felicity (whom she always is mistakenly calling Fill-a-CITY).  Molly has often been found telling complete strangers that she will be getting Felicity for her sixth birthday. While [...]
