Enjoying the Ones We Have

Why am I laughing myself into tears? Why the bloody hell am I sharing this photo shoot with you? Because, my friends, we need to do something in this "can't go outside weather" that everyone in the blogsphere is using to get preggers in. (ahem, a huge CONGRATS to all you ladies, and you know who you are): The Catholic Church thanks you!!!!!

Okay, so the eldest boy and girl were taking pictures of each other when they were shaking their heads back and forth . . . the youngest joined in after he returned from a Scouting thingy . . . I participated too, so ENJOY laughing at how horribly idiotic we all look! Feel free to leave me captions in the comments. (I'm not sharing all of them, just the best - worst - of them; I did fix the redeye but for some reason I got the one where my youngest looks demented-eyed). You can click and enlarge - if you dare.

We went to see "Bedtime Stories" which I thought was rated G (according to the theatre's website, but turns out it was PG. After 20 minutes we walked out of it and they gave us our money back in free movie passes instead of cash.

cold day everywhere - but this ol' gal aiin't gettin' preggers unfortunately.

Maybe use that second one for your profile picture! LOL; January 17, 2009 at 1:54 PM

Warrior Prayers

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

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.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.

V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

From Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,

manage to visit all that visit me,

and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day,

so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.

Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post,

and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well.

Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.

And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
