Another Meme

by | Jan 18, 2008 | Meme's | 2 comments

I saw this meme first over at Regina’s blog, then at Meredith’s, Ruth’s and Dawn’s… I hadn’t planned on doing it myself, till I was asked personally by Ruth in an email this morning. So, here you go!

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
I was going to be named Elizabeth, but right before I was born, my mom heard the name Jessica and liked it… My middle name is Jo, after my Grandmother Jo Ann. Although my mom’s name is Josephine, so it is sort of after her as well. I guess my parents decided they liked they middle name Jo, since my next 2 sisters middle names are Jo as well! Jen was born on the feast of St. Joseph, so her Jo is for him, and by the time they had Jamie, they had a trend going with the girls names, all starting with J and middle name of Jo, so she got it as well!

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
On Wednesday, when I turned 30.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
It’s ok.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Turkey… Although, I would pass the lunch meat all together for one of these.

Yes, 5 here with me, and 1 little Saint in heaven.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Of COURSE 😉

No, at least not physically.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
German-chokolatekake from Cold Stone. It is SO GOOD! It has all my favorite ingredients: Chocolate Ice Cream, Pecans, Toasted Coconut, Brownie, and Caramel. Before I discovered that, it was always Jamocha Almond Fudge and Praline’s & Cream from Baskin Robbins, mainly because they reminded me of my grandmother.

Can I name 2? My wonderful “Irish” temper and my weight (it stinks having twigs for a mom and sisters).

Oh…There are 2 answers here as well. My little guy in heaven, and my paternal grandmother, Jo Ann. I miss them both SO much!

18. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Denim skirt, brown boots. (they are the tall boots, up to knees, but from the foot up is fabric, kinda like leg warmers~sound funny, but I LOVE them, since I’m in skirts all the time, and they are awesome for skirts in the winter since they keep your legs warm)

19. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
A bite of leftover chocolate birthday cake that my boys “built me.”

My kids talking to each other as they are getting ready to leave for Mass.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
