The other night, David gave Cee her Methotrexate shot right before bed. Methotrexate is a chemotherapy drug that is used for SJIA because it shuts down the immune system. Cee’s immune system is superhuman; it’s so powerful that it even attacks things that aren’t germs. Like her joints. Cee’s Methotrexate often makes […]
Okay. Quick aside since with crazy crazy life life I’m pretty much only able to write once a week. I met Kirby from the Internet! The delightful Kirby blogs over at Under Thy Roof about faith, mothering, and ballet. And it turns out she’s a real person! We both attended a homeschool conference in Minnesota this […]
If you’ve been following My Sunday Best for awhile, you know that occasionally I get a little cheat-sy. I’m supposed to post a picture of what I wore to Mass. Well, what I wore this week was pretty much the same as last time. So I offer the substitute picture of me and Bea […]
I’m over at Everyday Ediths, writing about the theme this month– Motherhood. Jesus offers Mary to us, not only as a model and intercessor, but as someone who will hold our face in her hands and wipe our tears when life doesn’t make sense. When we can’t grasp how things can possibly get better. […]
Moe insisted he wanted to be in the picture with me this week, but he couldn’t be troubled to sit still or pose. So here’s the result for My Sunday Best: Sweater, shirt, shoes: Lands’ End Skirt: Lularoe Necklace: Kohl’s superclearance Now, onto Mass thoughts. I’ve heard the Emmaus Road reading lots of times […]
We are in Cincinnati. Well. A suburb of Cincinnati. Same difference. David and Cee are down at the pool, and I have some quiet time to write and be a part of My Sunday Best. It’s been so long since I’ve had the time to participate. I miss blogging about books and Sunday antics and […]
I have a weird approach to life’s obstacles. I think about the best thing that could happen in any situation, and then also the worst case scenario. Somehow it’s comforting to know that however things actually unfold, it will be somewhere on the spectrum of things I’ve already considered. Maybe I could call it the Outcome […]
Be grateful for your trials, for they will become your greatest blessings. This message has been on display on a maker board in the hallway of the parish which hosts our homeschool co-op. I’ve had to look at for several weeks now. We have little chats, me and the marker board. I walk […]
“What do you hope to get from Cincinnati?” several people have asked about our intent to see a specialist for our 8 year old daughter, Cee. I’m not sure how to respond. A drug trial? Earlier options for hip replacement? In truth, I’m not sure I’m interested in either option. The […]
Thanks for hosting, Rosie! Me: David, will you grab the camera for My Sunday Best? David: Could I take a picture with you? Me: Okay…but who is going to take the picture? Various Kids: Me! I’ll do it! I want to take a picture! We let them take turns. This was the best shot. Poor, […]
