I'm so happy to be HOME on a Monday evening. For months we've been rushing around to CCD. Thank Goodness, that's over for the year and we can come home to have dinner together...

The kids are bathed, the dinner was cooked here, rather than in some fast food place, everyone's had a bath, I even got some housework done! Hooray! The kids are watching Shorts. We saw this in the theater a couple of years ago, but that is ancient history to the kids.



I miss Barney, Blue's Clues, Sesame Street, and the Teletubbies...those were the days! I was home all of the time with my babies...well, the good news is, as my eldest pointed out yesterday, in 10-15 years she'll be celebrating Mother's Day. Oy!

Hope all you moms had a wonderful day. Remember, you're doing the most important job in the world...

The most important person… on earth is a Mother.
She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral.
She need not.
She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral –
A dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body.
The angels have not been blessed with such a grace.
They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new souls to heaven.
Only a human mother can.
Mothers are closer to God the creator than any other creature.
God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation…
What on God’s good earth is more glorious than this: to be a mother?


Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty [1892-1975]
