In fact, Monday was another really horrible day.  I don't think I have cried so hard in all my life.  I wrote to my MIL about our situation and she was so comforting and affirming.  She didn't take sides at all in the situation (which is what parents are supposed to do....I...

See these kids right here? OK well you can't really because I have blurred the photo. The point is I have to remind myself, this is why I do what I do. I see these kids when I pop into there classroom, when we have special events planned, if I need to speak at a confirmation meeting - but for th...

Last Saturday night(February 28th) was closing night for the play, "Over The Tavern", in which Ceeje played a retarded 15 year old in a loving albeit slightly dysfunctional Polish Catholic family who happened to live above the family tavern. We went to see closing night as patrons rather t...

I have finally gotten into a groove again when it comes to my studying.  This weekend I acted so funky and I was gently reminded of what happens when you don't fill yourself with the Holy Spirit each and everyday.  I told Dan this and his response was "Praise Jesus!" ...

I know that isn't very exciting for you all to know, but it is the reason that I do not have a recap of what happened last night on the Bachelor. Actually, it was just the Women Tell All episode and while I truly enjoy hearing what every woman has to say about their experience on the show, I jus...

Hello friends!!! This past weekend was amazing and so refreshing.  I got to spend quality time with my family, clean house and get in some good time with my Lord.  I have to be honest and confess that these past few weeks I have totally slacked on reading my bible or just spending any ti...

Let me clarify. It hasn't necessarily been a tough day for me.  I have been extremely fortunate that both Dan and I have a job right now..and one with benefits.  But there are those around me, even in my own family, where they are not so fortunate and are searching, praying and hopin...

I am finally starting to feel a little bit more like myself.  The last few weeks have been really rough for me.   The way I have been feeling, so completely sick and rundown, you would think I was in my first trimester.  But no. Unfortunately, as the prego, I caught every nas...
