The Simple Woman’s Daybook ~ Sep 1st

FOR TODAY

Outside my Window… it is rather chilly… The sun is shining, the sky is clear. I love it!

I am thinking… and praying for all those in the path of Hurricane Gustav.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

From the learning room… “bouquets of newly sharpened pencils!”

I am thankful… for all the weight Snuggles has gained. He is doing AWESOME! He is finally crawling all over the place, and even started standing up last week!!! I am not so thankful for all 4 of his molars breaking through this week, not to mention 2 other front teeth. Poor baby! At least he is getting it over with all at once!

From the kitchen… a roast is cooking in my much-loved crock pot. We will be having shredded beef tacos for dinner. Yumm!!!

I am creating… back-to-school gifts for my children. I had hoped to have this done on Friday, but it didn’t happen.

I am going… to be staying home as much as possible this week as we begin our new routines for the school year.

I am wearing… old clothes since we were deep cleaning our home this morning.

I am reading… lots of wonderful book reviews on Alice Gunther’s book Haystack Full of Needles. I have been dying to order this book, but I’ve had to wait since all my book funds have gone into school books for the children.

I am hoping… to order my copy this week, since I just sold a couple old books online. 🙂

I am hearing… the vacuum cleaner. My hubby is busy cleaning our light fixtures, air vents and ceilings!

Around the house… lots of active children, as usual! 😉

One of my favorite things… Catholic Baptisms. (I’ll post a few pictures soon!)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…

  • Our First Week of School, the tutor will be coming Tues-Thurs
  • The boys are invited to a Birthday Party on Thursday
  • Mass and Benediction on Friday, followed by lunch with Father and then errands and doctors appointments in the afternoon.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing:

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.
