Yesterday

by | Apr 13, 2008 | Pictures | 4 comments

My kids had a blast at my parents home yesterday. Usually my mom doesn’t want us to come over when we are sick, but she really needed me to take some pictures of her cabinets to list on craigslist. (She is remodeling her kitchen. I’m so jealous! 😉 Her old cabinets are 100x nicer than ours, but they just won’t fit in our tiny kitchen…sniffle, sniffle…) It worked out well though. The kids got tons of fresh air, and my dad even helped me pick up a table that he got for us, along with some desks I just bought from their neighbor, for our school room.

YES… I am changing my school room again. Hubby said, “Geez! You are changing it once a month!” I know… It’s just so hard to work with a mixture of hand-me-down furniture that isn’t really that efficient and practical… Right now my hallway is lined with too much stuff that had to be moved out of the old furniture, so we could move it to the already too full garage to be dealt with later, and move the new furniture in. Why does simplifying cause so much extra work?

I also purchased a set of bookshelves, so as soon as I get them, and reassemble the room, I will post a picture for you to see. I’m very excited!

Anyhow, my sister took some pictures of my monkeys kids acting totally crazy cute. I love how she edited them… You can’t even tell that Chiquita’s nose was running or that in between Twinkle Toes nose and lips was horribly chapped. Here’s one of my favorites:

    You should post pictures of your school room! We all could post school room pictures, maybe it would help with ideas?

    “Why does simplifying cause so much extra work?” Good question!

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.
