I am so super proud of my kids this week...writing Thank you notes for Christmas! To be truthful, this is the first time I have asked it of them. (BAD mommy) but they are into it!!
We have had a really mild winter in Kansas City. Yesterday was VERY cold with snow! I just wanted to huddle in the house with my children and drink warm beverages! No matter what the weather is like in your part of the country I hope that you are having a nice January!
I made a meal for a friend who has had her 6th child in 8 years. I do not think making meals for new mommies is my calling. I worried all night that it tasted horrible or there was too much spinach in it or what if no one ate it! I just kept thinking it is not about me and I was helping someone else.
I have started Project life for 2012. Maybe I will even become knowledgable enough to post a link to my pages. I think there are a lot of scrapbook websites and they all share their religion. Perhaps this is what Catholic bloggers need to make our blogs more readable! http://www.ncregister.com/blog/jennifer-fulwiler/why-are-there-no-catholic-mom-bloggers-on-this-top-100-list/. I just need to remember to not freak out about perfectionism and to allow time to work on it every week, and to make it cute, and to take good pictures...oh dear. It could be a long year!
I am so bad at computers I have already messed up the formatted template that Jennifer made for me on this # 5 and I can't fix it! Oh well...there is always next week to practice!
I am always trying to pray more so I bought the first Conversations with God book when Advent began and I was amazing, mostly good at using it. I went to my local bookstore to buy volume 2. I brought it home to use and was really frustrated to learn that I needed volume 4 for a part of ordinary time and that volume 2 was for the beginning of Lent! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!I really enjoy reading all of your quick takes each week! I learn so much about my Catholic Faith and how to apply it in my own life! I hope you enjoy my first entry! Thank you so much! (I am having the same issue as number 5 but I am going to ignore it!)

I felt the same way about delivering dinner to a family recently. She has a 10 month old and just found out she is expecting number 2. It was the first time I'd ever taken anyone dinner and I was terrified that they didn't like it! But, the point is really that we got out there and did it! :) Thanks for sharing your quick takes! I have yet to participate, but hopefully soon!
